Ask the Advocate is currently in development and operating as an educational beta.

Ask the Advocate

Expert cardiometabolic education. Clearer answers. Better questions.

Ask the Advocate is CardioAdvocate’s educational chatbot designed to help individuals better understand cardiometabolic health — including heart disease, cholesterol, lipids, diabetes, obesity, blood pressure, imaging, and prevention.

This tool exists to bridge a common gap in healthcare:
patients are often given complex information, test results, and recommendations — but not always the context needed to understand what it means, why it matters, or what questions to ask next.

Ask the Advocate is built to help with exactly that.

What Ask the Advocate Can Help With

Ask the Advocate is designed to support education and understanding, not diagnosis or treatment.

It can help users:

  • Understand medical terms, lab values, and imaging findings

  • Learn how cardiometabolic risk is assessed

  • Explore evidence-based prevention concepts

  • Interpret the language of guidelines and medical literature

  • Prepare more informed questions for their healthcare team

This includes topics such as:

  • Cholesterol, ApoB, and Lipoprotein (a)

  • Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and cardiovascular imaging

  • Metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and insulin resistance

  • Hypertension and vascular health

  • Lifestyle, risk factors, and prevention strategies

What Ask the Advocate Is Not

Ask the Advocate does not provide:

  • Medical advice

  • Diagnoses

  • Treatment recommendations

  • Personalized care plans

Use of this tool does not create a physician–patient relationship.

Healthcare decisions should always be made in partnership with a licensed healthcare professional who knows your individual medical history.

How This Tool Is Different

Ask the Advocate is being developed with a deliberate philosophy:

  • Education over automation

  • Credibility over popularity

  • Context over shortcuts

Rather than relying on generalized internet answers, the long-term vision is to prioritize:

  • Trusted medical societies and guidelines

  • Landmark clinical trials

  • Expert consensus and preventive cardiology principles

This approach reflects CardioAdvocate’s broader mission:
to make elite cardiometabolic knowledge more accessible, understandable, and actionable — without oversimplifying or sensationalizing it.

A Note on Development

Ask the Advocate is an evolving educational tool.

As CardioAdvocate grows, this platform will continue to improve — incorporating refined sources, better explanations, and more nuanced educational support.

Your feedback and curiosity help shape its future.
