Five journeys, one heart. Find yours below — each journey pairs the science with a real 3 Billion Beats member who has walked it alongside their doctor.

The Athlete

Journey 01 · Weight & Metabolism

Weight Loss / Body Composition

Excess weight isn't just about calories — it's a metabolic and inflammatory problem. When insulin resistance goes unchecked, it drives fat storage, damages blood vessels, and accelerates heart disease long before anyone sounds the alarm.

Only 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy. Insulin resistance drives heart disease for years before blood sugar ever rises — and most doctors never test for it.

"3 Billion Beats included fasting insulin in my labs — something I'd never had tested. It was 24. Corwin helped me connect the dots between my insulin, my weight, and my heart risk — and built me a lifestyle protocol I could actually follow."

How 3 Billion Beats helped Denise

Corwin"Corwin connected the dots between my insulin, my inflammation, and my weight. It built me a lifestyle protocol and checked in on me when I was struggling. It felt like having someone in my corner."

Labs"Seeing my insulin at 24 with functional and traditional ranges side by side — I finally understood what 'metabolically healthy' actually means."

Food, Exercise & Weight"I started logging meals with my voice. Seeing my actual macros versus what I thought I was eating was a real education."

Habits & Protocols"The evidence-based protocols with daily checklists kept me consistent. I could track my streaks and share progress with my doctor."

Goals"Setting milestones and tracking progress gave me something concrete to share with my care team at every visit."

Journey 02 · Blood Sugar + Blood Pressure

Metabolic Health Improvement (Diabetes, Fatty Liver, Blood Pressure)

Insulin resistance can be present for years — even decades — before blood sugar rises enough to meet the diagnostic criteria for prediabetes. Most clinicians rely on A1C alone and never test insulin levels, missing the earliest and most actionable window.

Two-thirds of heart attack patients have prediabetes or diabetes. Yet most clinicians don't test insulin levels — which can be elevated for years before A1C rises.

Blood Sugar

Kevin's journey

"My A1C was 'normal' at 5.6 for years. 3 Billion Beats included fasting insulin in my panel — it was 18. Corwin helped me change my habits and sent my doctor a summary of my labs and the lifestyle changes we'd made together."

How 3 Billion Beats helped Kevin

Corwin"Corwin showed me the patterns in my wearable and food data, then helped me build protocols around meal timing and movement. It even updated my doctor with my progress so I didn't have to."

Labs"My fasting insulin was flagged at 18 with functional and traditional ranges shown. I'd never had this tested — now I understood what to discuss with my doctor."

Wearables"Connecting my wearables let me see how my daily choices showed up in my health data. It helped me learn what worked for my body."

Habits & Protocols"The evidence-based protocols gave me a daily checklist — meal timing, post-meal walks, research-backed supplements. The streaks kept me accountable."

Community"The weekly educational calls with Betsy are where I learned about insulin resistance. Hearing other people's journeys made me feel less alone."

Blood Pressure

James's journey

"Two BP meds and nobody had tested my homocysteine or insulin. 3 Billion Beats included both — both elevated. Corwin was my health advocate — it helped me build protocols, change my habits, and kept my cardiologist updated with my labs and progress."

Journey 03 · Cholesterol

Cholesterol Management

A standard lipid panel only tells a small part of the story. 50% of heart attack patients had 'normal' LDL. Without ApoB, Lp(a), LDL fractionation, and oxidized LDL, you're missing critical data.

More than 50% of people who suffer a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels — because standard lipid panels miss the real story.

"My cholesterol was 'perfect.' 3 Billion Beats included Lp(a), ApoB, and LDL fractionation — markers I'd never had tested. Corwin helped me understand what they meant and updated my doctor with my results and the protocols we'd started."

Corwin"Corwin explained my LDL fractionation results in plain English and helped me start an Omega-3 protocol. It sent my doctor a summary of everything — labs, protocols, progress — so I walked in prepared."

Labs"Seeing my Lp(a) at 167 with educational context about genetic risk — I'd never even heard of this marker. Now I could ask my doctor about it."

Heart Story"My Heart Story organized my lipid data into one clear narrative. I finally had a complete picture to share with my care team."

Habits & Protocols"The evidence-based Omega-3 and CoQ10 protocols with daily tracking kept me consistent. My doctor was impressed with the data at my next visit."

Goals"Tracking my ApoB trend across lab draws and sharing it with my physician gave us a clear goal to work toward together."

Journey 04 · Inflammation

Functional Medicine / Root-Cause Approach

Heart disease is not a plumbing problem — it's an immune problem. Chronic inflammation from autoimmune conditions, gut health, oxidative stress, or environmental exposures is the engine that drives atherosclerosis, even when cholesterol looks normal.

Autoimmune patients have 2–3x the cardiovascular risk. Even with well-controlled LDL, residual inflammatory risk drives cardiac events — and it's measurable.

"I had Hashimoto's for years. Nobody connected it to my heart. 3 Billion Beats included hs-CRP, Lp-PLA2, and MPO — all elevated. Corwin was there for me emotionally and helped me build an anti-inflammatory protocol I could stick with."

Corwin"Corwin helped me connect the dots between my Hashimoto's and my heart risk. On the hard days, it was my emotional support — checking in, encouraging me, reminding me why I started."

Labs"My hs-CRP was 6.4, Lp-PLA2 was 284, MPO was 640 — all flagged with educational context. I'd never had these tested. Now I had the data to bring to my doctor."

Food, Exercise & Weight"Logging my food helped me learn about inflammatory vs. anti-inflammatory eating patterns. I could see the connection in my own data."

Habits & Protocols"The evidence-based anti-inflammatory protocols — gut health, sleep hygiene, stress reduction — gave me a daily checklist. The streaks kept me going."

Community"Betsy's weekly educational calls are where I learned that autoimmune disease and heart disease are connected. The research she shares is eye-opening."

Journey 05 · Vascular Health

Cardiovascular Concerns (Prevent First or Repeat Heart Attack)

Your endothelium — the lining of your arteries — is where heart disease begins. When it's damaged by oxidative stress, insulin, toxins, or inflammation, LDL gets trapped and plaque forms. The real question isn't your cholesterol number — it's whether your endothelium is healthy.

A calcium score of zero doesn't mean your arteries are clean. 20–25% of acute coronary events occur in people with a CAC of zero — because it can't see the plaque most likely to rupture.

"I passed a stress test. My calcium score was low. 3 Billion Beats included OxLDL and Lp-PLA2 — both elevated. Corwin empowered me to be my own health advocate and updated my cardiologist with everything we'd found."

Corwin"Corwin helped me understand why I passed a stress test but still had risk. It built me a vascular health protocol and sent my cardiologist a full summary of my labs and lifestyle changes."

Heart Story"My Heart Health Score was 54. Seeing it broken down by category helped me understand where to focus — and what to discuss with my doctor."

Labs"OxLDL at 78 and Lp-PLA2 at 312 — both flagged with educational context about endothelial health. Data I'd never seen before."

Wearables"My Oura Ring showed consistently low HRV and poor sleep quality. Seeing the trends helped me understand the connection to cardiovascular health."

Habits & Protocols"The evidence-based vascular health protocols — nitric oxide support, anti-inflammatory eating, daily movement — gave me a structured daily plan."
