Board-Certified Internal Medicine | BaleDoneen Method Provider
A physician devoted to evidence-based arteriology and preventive Internal Medicine—where advanced cardiovascular science, genetic profiling, and unhurried clinical attention converge to detect and reverse disease years before symptoms emerge.
With over 30 years in Internal Medicine and specialized training in atherosclerosis prevention, Dr. Mona Shawky practices arteriology—the science of detecting and reversing vascular disease using the BaleDoneen Method®, a peer-reviewed protocol proven to reduce heart attacks and strokes by up to 98%.
She integrates inflammatory biomarker analysis (hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO), advanced lipid profiling (NMR), arterial imaging (CIMT, CAC, CCTA), and genetic testing (APOE, MTHFR, PCSK9) with extended consultations and clear clinical reasoning—translating complex data into actionable prevention strategies.
The result: high-risk patients empowered to halt disease progression, stabilize or regress arterial plaque, and preserve cardiovascular, cognitive, and metabolic function for decades.
30+ years Board-Certified Internal Medicine with specialized expertise in atherosclerosis prevention, BaleDoneen arteriology, cardiometabolic risk management, insulin resistance reversal, and functional longevity medicine.
A functional, systems-based approach identifying inflammatory root causes (chronic infection, insulin resistance, genetic lipid disorders) and targeting them with genetically informed therapy—not symptom suppression.
Panel limited to 150-200 patients enabling 60-90 minute consultations, 24/7 physician access, same-day appointments, and personalized plans translating biomarker data, arterial imaging, and genetic results into clear action steps.
Every clinical decision at Lake Washington Internal Medicine rests on integrity, rigor, and respect for the person behind the data.
We map current status and biological trajectory with world-class tools, then design stepwise plans that are practical, measurable, and human.
We detect arterial inflammation (hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO) and visualize plaque (CIMT, CAC) to identify disease years pre-symptom—enabling intervention when reversal is still possible, not after emergency events.
Treatment personalized to your APOE genotype, MTHFR status, PCSK9 variants, and inflammatory biomarker patterns—not population-based guidelines that ignore individual biology.
Evidence-based diagnostics including NMR lipid particle analysis, inflammatory panels (Lp-PLA2, MPO, F2-isoprostanes), arterial imaging (CIMT, CAC, CCTA), and insulin resistance markers (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, CGM).
Cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, mitochondrial, and cognitive health addressed as interconnected systems—because arterial inflammation affects brain function, insulin resistance drives vascular disease, and hormone imbalance impacts both.
60-90 minute consultations allow deep exploration of family history, lifestyle patterns, stress factors, and health goals—building trust and therapeutic alliance impossible in 15-minute visits.
Quarterly biomarker tracking (hsCRP, NMR lipids, HbA1c), annual CIMT imaging to document plaque regression, and continuous communication—relationships spanning decades, not single appointments.
If you value extended consultations, 24/7 physician access, and prevention backed by peer-reviewed arteriology protocols—we invite you to experience medicine practiced at the highest level. A partnership that detects disease early, prevents progression, and delivers measurable outcomes: plaque regression, biomarker improvement, and event-free survival.
Modern medicine should do more than respond to illness; it should predict and prevent it. By weaving together clinical expertise, sophisticated diagnostics, and meaningful dialogue, Dr. Shawky equips patients to take charge of their health—and reshape what comes next.
We measure arterial inflammation (hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO) and visualize plaque vulnerability (CIMT, CAC) to detect disease 10-20 years before heart attack or stroke—enabling true prevention, not crisis management.
Extended 60-90 minute visits allow detailed family history review, genetic risk assessment, lifestyle analysis, biomarker interpretation, and imaging review—impossible in traditional 15-minute appointments.
Cardiovascular health protects brain function; metabolic optimization improves arterial health; hormone balance supports mitochondria; stress management reduces inflammation—all systems treated as interconnected, not isolated.
Continuous oversight with quarterly biomarker tracking, annual arterial imaging, and longitudinal data analysis revealing patterns invisible in single visits—a medical partnership evolving across your lifespan.
