At The Prevention Center, we use the scientifically-recognized BaleDoneen Method® developed by our founder and Medical Director, Dr. Amy Doneen, DNP and ARNP to identify risks earlier.
This method coupled with advanced testing, inflammation markers, imaging, lifestyle analysis, and personalized intervention strategies helps our patients understand and reduce their uniquely individual long-term risk.
Traditional healthcare often focuses on treating disease after symptoms appear. The BaleDoneen Method takes a different approach—identifying and addressing risk long before a heart attack, stroke, diabetes diagnosis, or cognitive decline occurs.
The BaleDoneen Method uses current science and is an evidence grounded approach to preventing cardiovascular and related chronic diseases through early detection, advanced diagnostics, and personalized intervention. Developed through decades of clinical research and patient care, this model is designed to identify the root causes of vascular disease and reduce long-term health risks before symptoms develop.
Rather than waiting for disease progression, the BaleDoneen Method emphasizes proactive assessment of arterial health through comprehensive risk evaluation, advanced laboratory testing, imaging studies, inflammation assessment, metabolic health analysis, and ongoing monitoring. By identifying disease in its earliest stages, patients gain the opportunity to make meaningful changes that can positively influence their long-term health trajectory.
Recognizing that cardiovascular disease is often preventable, the BaleDoneen Method addresses the complex interplay between inflammation, metabolism, lifestyle, genetics, and vascular health. Personalized care plans may include nutrition guidance, physical activity recommendations, sleep optimization, stress management, evidence-based medical therapies, and targeted interventions tailored to each individual’s biology, risk profile, and health goals.
At its core, the BaleDoneen Method is a collaborative partnership between patient and provider. Through education, advanced risk assessment, and evidence-based prevention strategies, patients are empowered to better understand their health and make informed decisions that support lifelong heart and brain wellness.
Dr. Amy Doneen is an expert in Arteriology, which is the study and focus of systemic arterial health – preventing heart attacks, strokes, type 2 Diabetes, and chronic disease. She is the co-founder of the BaleDoneen Method® and has worked with Dr. Bradley Bale on this method since 1999. Dr. Doneen has published numerous peer-reviewed papers on topics surrounding CV disease prevention, the oral/systemic connection, arterial inflammation and disease, including several landmark papers that challenge the current paradigm of CV Health.
Our approach is informed by decades of published research focused on cardiovascular disease prevention, arterial inflammation, stroke prevention, metabolic health, oral-systemic health connections, and the relationship between vascular health and cognitive decline. Below are selected peer-reviewed publications and educational resources that help shape the prevention strategies utilized within our practice and the BaleDoneen Method.
