Comprehensive Care for Atrial Fibrillation
Go Beyond Medication with Our Reverse AFib Program
Atrial fibrillation (also known as AFib), refers to a consistently irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia that can make you more prone to life-threatening blood clots, strokes or hospitalization.
This condition has become increasingly common in the U.S., and CDC experts predict more than 12 million people(opens in a new tab) will have AFib by 2030. While medications and ablation procedures can be effective in preventing recurrent AFib, JAMA reports only 30% to 50%(opens in a new tab) of patients are AFib-free after four years with these treatments. The good news is, we can help prevent or reverse AFib before negative outcomes occur.
Multiple studies from the National Institute of Health show that those who take a comprehensive approach to their AFib treatment — addressing key lifestyle, weight and heart disease risk factors — see dramatically better results. An evidence-based Reverse AFib Program like ours can:
- Reduce recurrent AFib 600% to 1,100%(opens in a new tab) better than medications and ablation alone
- Decrease dependence on atrial fibrillation medications by 91%(opens in a new tab)
- Reverse AFib in 88%(opens in a new tab) of patients

How the Reverse AFib Program Works
Not only do we treat AFib, but we have a sound, evidence-based method that can prevent it from disrupting your life long into the future. It’s all part of our comprehensive and connected approach. Here’s what you can expect:
- Start with an expert consultation with cardiologist Robert Todd Hurst, MD to review your atrial fibrillation history, laboratory data and heart test results.
- We will provide you with a personalized evaluation that details potential causes of your AFib and determines the best treatment opportunities to lower your risk of stroke, dementia, heart failure or death.
- You can enroll in an ongoing, connected care program where you’ll work with our team of experts to optimize your chances of reversing AFib and getting healthier. In this program, we will specifically address:
- What is the best nutrition system for your AFib and reaching your health goals?
- What are the safest exercises for you?
- How can sleep, stress and alcohol impact your AFib and future risk for heart disease?
- What are the optimal blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels for avoiding heart attack, stroke, heart failure and dementia?
- Then, we provide a detailed strategy outlining your best opportunities to reverse AFib, specifically addressing evidence-based factors that can reduce recurrent AFib more than medicines and ablation procedures alone.
