Who we are.

 My Name is Marlena and I serve as the Founder of Prevention is the Cure.

My job as your consultant is to provide you with the most advanced education and understanding of your health risks and status. This will include a deep review of all your medical records, including your medical and family history. You will be surprised by what you can find out about your health in your own medical records. It is my job and my passion to help you find out what your health status really is through detective work that every doctor should already be doing. I want to take the fear out of dying and put you on the path of understanding that prevention is the cure. That dying from a heart attack and stroke is 100 percent preventable, even if you have already had an event you don’t have to have another one, if you are given the knowledge. I know this because I was once a patient just like you and what I found out changed my life.

Prevention

Marlena has been on both sides of the spectrum as both a health care professional and a patient.

She has worked in specialty clinics including cardiac and urgent care, she considers triage her specialty.  Most recently she concluded a preceptorship with the Bale Doneen method.

What she does in her practice was born out of standing where you are standing right now, being concerned about her health, not feeling like she was getting the answers she needed and not feeling safe because she didn’t have the complete information.

Simple, available, and inexpensive tests could have been ordered that would have given her an extensive overview into the status of her health and what to do about it.

She wanted answers, her answers came in the form of extensive research.

She wanted to know why being in the medical profession herself and doing what she thought were all the right things, still failed. Her research led her to the renowned Dr Amy Doneen, she is a specialist in the field of heart and brain disease. What she learned from her was not only life changing but changed her views on the typical approach to assessing a patient’s health status. But surprisingly the most amazing thing she learned and the greatest gift she was given was hope. There is hope out there, you don’t have to be afraid, you can have the tools to assess your health, track your health and actually live a long and healthy life. Even if you have already had an event, it’s never too late to have the peace of mind it doesn’t have to happen again.

Marlena’s Story

Marlena derived her passion of preventive medicine by both observation and experience. Her experience spans over 29 years in the medical community where she has had a bird’s eye view of what works and what hasn’t. In her experience she has reviewed many patients’ charts. She has also been asked to review charts by family members when they decided to go to court after their loved one died unexpectedly. After she reviews the chart, sadly the answer to why they died is always the same. It could have been prevented, because disease doesn’t just happen overnight it progresses.

We can identify the beginning stages of diseases processes in a patient’s chart notes by subtle changes in their labs and scans. This is a true and sad story when I reviewed a patients chart notes for a family member after their death the chart revealed the patient had a prior heart attack, and neither the family or himself were told, a year later he died. Unfortunately these stories are all to common, had he known it could have been prevented.

Side Note: As you can see CIMT Testing is at the forefront of my practice. This is one noninvasive test that can determine if you will have a heart ache within 15 minutes. The CIMT test is different than other ultrasounds of your corded arteries. CIMT tests not only identifies those with blockages but those with arterial inflammation (a precursor atherosclerotic plaque and blockage). The main point to be taken from this, CIMT Testing is an advantageous screening tool for your risk heart disease.

Credentials and Experience

BSN, RN.

29+ years of nursing experience serving specialty care clinics including cardiac, urgent care, infectious disease, with a specialization in triage.

Marlena’s roles have revolved around leadership and management positions. These roles have been diverse and she has felt privileged to be tasked with creating and establishing ground floor projects and collaborating in team settings.

It has been her pleasure working in a broad range of modalities with a focus on triage, as well as working in specialty settings such as; pulmonology, cardiology, infectious disease, and gastroenterology. That experience has fortunately paved the way for what she believes has created her call to action, and that call to action is PREVENTION!

Marlena’s passion for investigative research and strategy has given her the opportunity to be employed by magnet status hospitals that have enabled her to lead a team that was in charge of restructuring and building from the ground up, a clinic that was in crisis to being named most organized.

Marlena thrives on challenges and her experience as a life coach has aided her in understanding that a person’s health care journey is more than just data, but encompasses both the mind and body.
