Max Pulse™ Cardiovascular & Autonomic Assessment
Non-Invasive Insight Into Vascular Health, Autonomic Balance & Functional Cardiovascular Aging
At Fully Alive, we use Max Pulse™ as a non-invasive functional assessment to better understand cardiovascular resilience, vascular tone, and autonomic nervous system balance, often before conventional tests detect abnormalities.
Max Pulse does not diagnose disease. Instead, it provides early functional insight that helps guide preventive, integrative, and lifestyle-based care.
What Is Max Pulse™?
Max Pulse™ is a computerized pulse wave analysis that evaluates how your cardiovascular system responds to internal stressors. By analyzing pulse wave dynamics, it offers insight into how efficiently blood vessels adapt, how balanced the autonomic nervous system is, and how your functional cardiovascular age compares to your chronological age.
This information can be especially valuable when symptoms or risk factors are present, but standard testing appears “normal.”
What This Assessment Evaluates
Max Pulse™ provides functional insight into:
Vascular elasticity and arterial tone
Autonomic nervous system balance (sympathetic vs. parasympathetic activity)
Functional cardiovascular age
Hemodynamic stress and adaptability
Early cardiovascular strain prior to structural disease
This assessment focuses on how the system is functioning, not on diagnosing pathology.
What Max Pulse™ Is and What It Is Not
To ensure clarity and transparency:
Max Pulse™
✔ Is non-invasive, quick, and comfortable
✔ Provides functional and preventive insight
✔ Helps guide personalized lifestyle and integrative strategies
Max Pulse™ is not
❌ A diagnostic test for heart disease
❌ A replacement for echocardiograms, stress tests, CT angiograms, or CIMT
❌ A tool that visualizes plaque or arterial anatomy
Max Pulse™ is best understood as complementary to conventional cardiovascular testing, not a substitute.
Who This Assessment Is For
Max Pulse™ may be a good fit if you:
Want a preventive, proactive view of cardiovascular health
Have fatigue, exercise intolerance, dizziness, or autonomic symptoms
Have metabolic, inflammatory, or post-viral health patterns
Are concerned about vascular aging, stroke risk, or cardiovascular resilience
Have had normal standard tests, but experience ongoing symptoms
Want objective data to guide lifestyle or integrative interventions
This assessment is particularly useful for individuals seeking early insight rather than late-stage diagnosis.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The Max Pulse™ assessment is simple and stress-free:
You rest comfortably during data collection
No exertion, needles, or radiation are involved
The assessment takes only a few minutes
Results are reviewed with you in a clinical context
Your findings are interpreted alongside your health history, symptoms, and, when applicable, data.
How We Use Max Pulse™ at Fully Alive
At Fully Alive, Max Pulse™ is never used in isolation.
We integrate findings with:
Clinical history and symptom patterns
Blood markers related to inflammation, metabolism, and cardiovascular risk
Nervous system and stress physiology
Lifestyle, nutrition, movement, and recovery capacity
This allows us to:
Identify early functional stress patterns
Personalize cardiovascular and autonomic support
Track progress over time
Determine when conventional imaging or referral is appropriate
Our goal is clarity without alarmism and guidance that supports long-term resilience.

What Clients Gain From This Assessment
Clients commonly report that Max Pulse™ helps them gain:
A clearer understanding of cardiovascular and autonomic health
Objective feedback on the impact of stress and lifestyle
Early awareness without unnecessary fear
A measurable baseline for tracking improvement
Confidence in next steps—or reassurance when risk is low
How Max Pulse™ Fits Into Care at Fully Alive
Max Pulse™ may be offered as:
A standalone preventive assessment
Part of a comprehensive cardiovascular or metabolic evaluation
A tracking tool to monitor progress over time
We will always discuss whether this assessment is appropriate for your individual situation.
