Vascular health sits at the core of every system in the body. Healthy circulation supports energy, cognition, mobility, overall vitality, and every organ, muscle and cell in the body.* This guide helps clinicians recognize who may benefit from targeted vascular support and how to track progress efficiently in practice. 

By combining structured assessment tools and patient engagement strategies, clinicians can easily identify individuals who would benefit from support and elevate outcomes while simplifying workflow.

Identifying Individuals Who May Benefit from Vascular Support

Vascular dysfunction is the number one challenge to most people’s longevity. Further, optimal vascular function supports every wellness goal. Without healthy circulation, optimal health is not possible.

At a glance:

• Any adult looking to proactively support their overall health*
• Individuals with health goals that could be supported by better circulation*
• Individuals looking to support healthy energy, cognition, sexual wellness, and stamina*
• Individuals looking to support blood pressure in the normal range*
• Individuals with non-optimal biomarkers or imaging*

Vascular support refers to any support that helps maintain the structure or function of vessels or blood flow. Because every cell depends on healthy circulation and blood flow for oxygen and nutrient delivery, almost all wellness goals—from joint health to sexual vitality—are influenced by vascular function.*

Early recognition of vascular needs helps guide timely, individualized plans. Clinicians can use history and intake interviews, lifestyle data, and validated assessments to identify appropriate candidates for vascular-focused wellness plans. Here at Calroy Health Sciences, we emphasize this proactive approach as core to supporting foundational health.*

Common Clinical Indicators Vascular Support is Needed

Early support often yields the best outcomes, as vascular resilience is central to nearly every body system.*

Screening and Stratification for Vascular Needs

While most individuals could benefit from vascular support, there are specific measures clinicians can use to screen for the best candidates. Drs. Alexis Gonzales, ND, IFMCP and Carey Kunz, ND, IFMCP created a research-backed protocol to help clinicians identify good candidates for a vascular support program. The screening in their protocol covers three key data sources: laboratory biomarkers, clinical questionnaires, and imaging or functional testing.

Laboratory and Biomarker Frameworks

Foundational lab panels can reveal early patterns influencing vascular function, including markers of metabolism, lipid balance, micronutrient status, and nitric oxide production.

Common labs include:

• Lipoprotein panel
• CBC with differential
• Uric acid
• Insulin
• B12 and folate
• Salivary nitric oxide strips
• Basic hormone panels

This protocol is a small part of the Vitality in Motion program. Healthcare providers can access this protocol plus additional implementation resources and 1:1 support free of charge through Calroy Health Sciences.

Clinical, Functional and Questionnaire Tools

Structured intake forms, interviews, and validated questionnaires clarify functional status.

Frequently used tools for overall health:

• PROMIS: assesses physical, mental, and social health
• WOMAC: measures joint comfort, stiffness, and function*
• Resting blood pressure: one measurement to help assess cardiovascular health*

Imaging and Advanced Testing

For deeper insight, clinicians may consider carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) scans or endothelial function testing to evaluate vessel structure and elasticity. Consistency, rather than complexity, remains the goal. 

This protocol is a small resource inside of the Vitality in Motion program, available exclusively to healthcare providers through Calroy Health Sciences. Interested clinicians can schedule a meeting to access the protocol and all free resources included in the program.

Educate Your Community to Help Individuals Self-Identify 

Another way to identify individuals who may benefit from vascular support is to educate your patient population and allow self-identification. Education drives interest and also commitment. Effective programs start by building awareness before testing or interventions begin.

Hosting live or virtual workshops engages individuals and underscores why vascular health is so critical to human health, and how it influences energy, cognition, mobility, and longevity.*

Calroy Health Sciences has developed an engaging and research-backed presentation that clinicians can use as-is or modify to present on cardiovascular health to individuals in their clinic. The presentation is included in the completely free Vitality in Motion program for healthcare providers. Interested clinicians can schedule a call to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who needs vascular support?

Because healthy blood flow is fundamental to all tissues, nearly every person can benefit from foundational vascular support. Those with vascular concerns in their family history or anyone noticing changes in energy, cognition, or circulation may see particular value.*

What symptoms indicate a need for vascular support?

Signs such as fatigue, cold extremities, slow-healing skin, changes in sexual wellness, brain fog, or reduced stamina can signal that additional vascular support may be beneficial.*

How can clinicians track vascular health progress effectively?

Track progress through periodic symptom updates, physiologic assessments, imaging, and self-reported outcome measures within structured follow-up visits.

What lifestyle factors influence vascular support outcomes?

Consistent physical activity, balanced nutrition, smoking cessation, sleep and stress supports, supplementation and regular monitoring work synergistically to support optimal vascular results.*

Are there any free programs for clinicians looking to implement vascular support in practice?

Yes, Vitality in Motion is a free, turnkey program available to healthcare providers. The program includes educational patient resources, a clinician-authored protocol, 1:1 implementation support, and more. The program is free for clinicians to access and implement from start to finish.
