Prevention program
HORMESIS
Our prevention program to look after your heart, for people who want to get ahead of disease and for patients with overweight or obesity.
HORMESIS is the prevention program of Servicios Especializados del Corazón. It is designed for people who want to look after their cardiovascular health before disease appears, and for patients with overweight or obesity who need comprehensive support.
It is led by an interdisciplinary team of sports medicine, nutrition, psychology, physical therapy and nursing professionals who work on four pillars at the same time: food, movement, sleep and emotional regulation.
The name comes from hormesis: the right dose of a stimulus, with good recovery, helps the body adapt and grow stronger. Learn more in Hormesis: the right dose makes you stronger.
Prevention is the best way to care for your heart. To find out how to get started, book an assessment.
