Why Georgi Pavlov started Health Aspire
I’m Georgi Pavlov, and my father died of a heart attack when he was 45. For years that was simply a sad fact in our family story. It became something else when my own routine blood tests came back with high cholesterol, without a single symptom to warn me.
I went looking for clear answers and found the opposite: advice scattered across sites, written for specialists, contradicting itself or trying to sell me something. Health Aspire is the site I wish I had found that day, and the one I wish my father had had: plain-English guides, honest numbers and free tools that show you where you stand.
How Georgi Pavlov researches each guide
I am not a doctor, and Health Aspire is not a medical practice. My job is to be a careful translator between research and real life.
- I start from the strongest evidence: official guidelines from bodies like the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association and the CDC, systematic reviews and large human studies.
- I read the paper or guideline itself, not just the press release, and I link every source at the end of each guide so you can check it.
- When evidence is weak, early or mixed, I say so. No miracle cures, no supplement hype.
- Our calculators, like the 10-year heart risk calculator, use the published equations behind the guidelines, and your answers never leave your browser.
- When a qualified health professional reviews a guide, their name and credentials appear on that page. You can read the full process in our editorial standards.
What Georgi Pavlov does for his own health
I try to live what I write about. I cycle, play squash, lift weights and do short HIIT sessions, and I keep a close eye on the numbers that matter most for someone with my family history. Writing these guides has changed the questions I ask my own doctor, and I hope they do the same for you.
The one thing I hope you take away
Know your numbers before they become a story. A few simple measurements, checked early and understood clearly, can change what happens next. If this site helps one reader catch a warning sign in time, it has done its job.
