About
Dr. Mona Shawky is a board-certified internist with over 30 years of experience in internal medicine and atherosclerosis prevention. She holds certification as a BaleDoneen Method provider, a peer-reviewed arteriology protocol with documented outcomes. Her clinical work focuses on detecting and reversing vascular disease before symptoms emerge. She identifies arterial inflammation using advanced biomarker panels including hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO, and F2-isoprostanes. She visualizes plaque through CIMT, CAC scoring, and CT angiography. Genomic profiling for APOE, MTHFR, PCSK9, and Factor V Leiden variants guides her therapy decisions.
Dr. Shawky treats cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, mitochondrial, and cognitive health as interconnected systems. She manages conditions including atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, familial hypercholesterolemia, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, cognitive decline, and adrenal dysfunction. Her longevity work targets the nine hallmarks of biological aging with interventions such as NAD+ precursors, CoQ10, senolytic therapies, and VO2 max training. She tracks biomarkers quarterly and performs annual CIMT imaging to document plaque regression over time. Her philosophy centers on identifying inflammatory root causes and treating them with genetically informed therapy, not symptom suppression.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Shawky specializes in atherosclerosis, arterial inflammation, and cardiovascular disease prevention. She also treats insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, hypertension, diabetes, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, COPD, asthma, autoimmune conditions, cognitive decline, adrenal fatigue, and sex hormone imbalance. Her approach addresses these conditions as interconnected systems rather than isolated diagnoses.
The BaleDoneen Method is a peer-reviewed arteriology protocol focused on detecting and reversing active arterial disease. Dr. Shawky uses it to identify arterial inflammation through biomarkers like hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, and MPO. She pairs that with arterial imaging and genetic testing to build a genetically guided treatment plan. Published outcomes show the method reduces cardiovascular events by up to 98%.
Yes. Dr. Shawky holds board certification in internal medicine. She also holds certification as a BaleDoneen Method provider, reflecting her specialized training in atherosclerosis prevention and arteriology.
Dr. Shawky uses inflammatory biomarker panels including hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO, and F2-isoprostanes. She orders advanced lipid profiling with NMR LipoProfile, apoB, and Lp(a). Arterial imaging includes CIMT, CAC scoring, and CT angiography. Genomic testing covers APOE, MTHFR, PCSK9, and Factor V Leiden variants. She also offers multi-cancer early detection through the Galleri liquid biopsy and Whole-Body MRI.
Dr. Shawky targets nine hallmarks of biological aging, including genomic instability, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation. She uses longevity protocols that include caloric restriction mimetics, NAD+ precursors, CoQ10, senolytic interventions, and VO2 max training. Hormonal and metabolic optimization play a central role in her healthspan work.
Dr. Shawky takes a functional, systems-based approach to medicine. She identifies inflammatory root causes such as insulin resistance, chronic infection, and genetic lipid disorders. Then she targets them with genetically informed therapy rather than managing symptoms alone. She views cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, mitochondrial, and cognitive health as interconnected systems that each influence the others.
Dr. Shawky brings over 30 years of experience in internal medicine and atherosclerosis prevention. That clinical depth informs her use of advanced diagnostics and her ability to translate complex biomarker data into clear, actionable care plans.
Yes. Dr. Shawky offers neuroendocrine and cognitive health optimization as part of her clinical scope. She assesses thyroid function, sex hormones, cortisol rhythms, and cognitive biomarkers. Her interventions support neuroplasticity, memory, mood stability, and neuroprotection against dementia.
