The Hidden Key to Heart Health: How Revasca Restores Your Body’s Internal Shield

"Your health is like a river—when the flow is smooth, life thrives. When blockages occur, problems arise."

DR. MATT MCNAMEE


Imagine your body's blood vessels as a vast highway system spanning 60,000 miles. Picture these roads lined with a protective barrier that ensures smooth traffic flow. This barrier, called the endothelial glycocalyx, plays a vital role in maintaining heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. However, when it’s compromised, problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and cognitive decline begin to emerge.


Dr. Matthew McNamee, Chief Medical Officer at Tiger Medical Institute, sheds light on the importance of glycocalyx health and how Revasca, a cutting-edge nutraceutical, can restore and protect this vital layer, offering a proactive approach to cardiovascular health.



What Is the Endothelial Glycocalyx?


Think of the glycocalyx as a gel-like security system that lines your blood vessels, shielding them from harm. This microscopic yet powerful barrier:


  • Regulates blood flow
  • Prevents harmful particles from entering the bloodstream
  • Acts as an anti-inflammatory shield
  • Supports optimal cardiovascular function


Yet, despite its crucial role, most people have never heard of it. Until now.



What Happens When the Glycocalyx Is Damaged?


Common Causes of Glycocalyx Damage


1. Chronic Stress: Heightened stress levels release inflammatory markers that weaken the protective layer.

2. Poor Diet: Processed foods, excess sugar, and trans fats erode the glycocalyx over time.

3. Lack of Sleep: Sleep deprivation leads to oxidative stress, which damages blood vessels.

4. Sedentary Lifestyle: Insufficient movement decreases nitric oxide production, essential for blood vessel flexibility.


Consequences of a Damaged Glycocalyx


  • High blood pressure
  • Increased risk of stroke or heart attack
  • Cognitive decline (brain fog, memory loss)
  • Systemic inflammation


Once damaged, the glycocalyx struggles to regulate blood flow and prevent harmful substances from entering the bloodstream. This can lead to plaque buildup, inflammation, and eventually life-threatening cardiovascular events.



The Gut-Heart Connection: How Leaky Gut Leads to Leaky Blood Vessels


The gut is the gateway to health. Imagine it as a fortress, keeping harmful invaders out. When the gut lining weakens (a condition known as leaky gut), toxins and bacteria leak into the bloodstream, triggering widespread inflammation.


How This Affects the Glycocalyx


  • Lipopolysaccharides (LPS), toxins from gut bacteria, enter the bloodstream and damage blood vessels.
  • Inflammation spreads throughout the body, accelerating cardiovascular disease.
  • Mental health is impacted, leading to anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.


This gut-heart connection highlights why vascular health starts with digestive health. Addressing gut health is crucial for restoring glycocalyx integrity and preventing disease.



Introducing Revasca: A Revolutionary Solution for Cardiovascular Health


What is Revasca? Revasca is a nutraceutical supplement designed to restore and protect the endothelial glycocalyx. Backed by over 15 years of research, it has been validated by 140+ research hospitals worldwide.


How Revasca Works:


  • Rebuilds the Glycocalyx: Provides essential nutrients that restore the protective gel layer.
  • Enhances Blood Flow: Promotes nitric oxide production to keep blood vessels flexible.
  • Fights Oxidative Stress: Acts as a powerful antioxidant, preventing vessel damage.
  • Reduces Inflammation: Helps regulate immune responses, preventing long-term damage.



Why Testing Matters: The GlycoCheck Device


Wouldn’t it be great to measure your glycocalyx health? Now, you can.

The GlycoCheck Device is a groundbreaking medical tool that measures glycocalyx health with 90% accuracy in predicting heart attack or stroke risk within six years.


How It Works:


  • A 2-minute test under your tongue.
  • Generates a score from 0 to 10, indicating your risk level.
  • Used in 140+ research hospitals and 50+ clinics in the U.S.


Want to test your glycocalyx health? It’s available at Tiger Medical Institute and Nassau Health Foods (Florida).



Lifestyle Matters: How to Support Glycocalyx Health Beyond Supplements


Revasca is powerful, but long-term health requires lifestyle changes.


Key Lifestyle Adjustments:

  • Anti-Inflammatory Diet: Eat whole foods, omega-3s, and reduce sugar intake.
  • Stress Management: Practice deep breathing, meditation, and mindfulness.
  • Regular Exercise: Movement increases nitric oxide levels, supporting blood flow.
  • Quality Sleep: Prioritize 7-9 hours of restorative sleep to lower inflammation.


By making these changes, you’ll not only support your glycocalyx but also enhance energy, mental clarity, and longevity.

A Word From Our Founder, Steve Adams

Hey there! I'm Steve

I spent 20 years in high-pressure corporate banking, constantly traveling and neglecting my health. By 50, I was sleep-deprived, getting only 2-3 hours of sleep despite lying in bed for six hours. I suffered from acid reflux, IBS, cramping, constipation, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog, affecting my performance and relationships.

Then I found a Functional Medicine Doctor

He conducted extensive testing on genetics, gut biome health, and hormones. He discovered several issues and created a personalized medical plan and coached me for a year on lifestyle changes. The results were transformative!

Today, I feel like a new person. I can engage in high-intensity interval training, weight lifting, and running without any symptoms. Inspired by this journey, I founded Tiger Medical Institute to help others achieve similar health transformations - to help you live healthier, better life!
