Precision lipidology and concierge care for a longer, healthier life.
Board certified in Family Medicine, Clinical Lipidology & Obesity Medicine
Dr. Steven Winiarski is a board-certified physician in Family Medicine, Clinical Lipidology, and Obesity Medicine, with over a decade of experience in telemedicine. He completed his undergraduate studies at Emory University and earned his medical degree from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. In 2025, he was honored to be named a Fellow of the National Lipid Association.
Clinically, Dr. Winiarski focuses on complex lipid disorders, including mixed dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, resistant hypercholesterolemia, and statin intolerance. His work emphasizes advanced cardiovascular risk assessment, incorporating markers such as lipoprotein(a) and advanced lipid testing to more precisely stratify risk and guide treatment.
His broader professional mission centers on optimizing long-term health and longevity by reducing cardiovascular disease risk through an evidence-based integration of lifestyle interventions, nutrition, targeted supplementation, and pharmacologic therapy when appropriate.
Dr. Winiarski is also an avid triathlete with a special interest in exercise physiology, strength training, and nutrition.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Through advanced lipid testing, ApoB, Lp(a), and coronary calcium scanning, we detect and treat cardiovascular risk long before symptoms appear.
Insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and obesity accelerate cardiovascular risk and aging. We evaluate and treat the full metabolic picture with precision and evidence-based protocols.
Strength, cardiovascular fitness, metabolic health, and cognitive clarity determine how well we age. A longevity-focused practice evaluates and improves these systems through testing, personalized strategies, and ongoing monitoring.

Evidence-based writing on lipidology, longevity, and metabolic health.
There is ongoing debate about whether dietary saturated fat increases cholesterol levels. In reality, both sides of the argument contain some truth: some individuals can increase saturated fat intake without significant changes in cholesterol levels, while others experience substantial increases.
Researchers have been evaluating earlier studies suggesting that omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) improve cardiovascular health. Some recent findings, however, have raised questions about whether certain fish oil formulations may worsen certain outcomes.
Cardiovascular disease kills more than 800,000 people in the United States each year, many of whom could be saved through early treatment. Understanding how cholesterol fits into a much larger risk picture is essential to effective prevention.
In clinical practice, I often have conversations with patients trying to make thoughtful decisions about long-term therapies. Good medical decision-making requires looking at both sides of the equation — not just the potential side effects, but the risks of leaving the underlying condition untreated.

"Very impressed. I've never had a doctor visit where I've been asked so many questions and was able to truly explain my medical history and my health goals. It was honestly refreshing."
"Dr. Winiarski is the best doctor! He is VERY in-tune to how the entire body works and what the latest science is for treatments. I have been going to him for years and can honestly say no doctor has his level of attention to detail and insight into treatment options."
"I would ONLY recommend this doctor for people looking for a nice, friendly, intelligent and caring doctor."
"Dr. Winiarski was thoughtful, knowledgeable and deliberate in his delivery of information. I came to him after a cardiologist told me that I would have a heart attack in 10 years — 95%. Steven helped me understand its true meaning based on all factors."
"Awesome doctor. He is quite possibly the best doctor I have seen. He actually listens to you and tries to help. Wonderful bedside manner as well as personality."
"I haven't had a doctor listen to me that well in a long time (or really ever). That really stood out to me along with his breadth of knowledge with my issues and his desire to help with nutritional guidance as well."
"Dr. Winiarski took the time to listen to me and provided me with information and goals that complimented and added to the plan I had been prescribed by my endocrinologist. I feel that I am in good hands."
