Discover the power of proactive healthcare and take charge of your health today.
Personal Health History
Understanding your past health is the foundation of preventative care. During this part of the assessment, we take the time to explore all aspects of your medical history, from previous illnesses and treatments to surgeries and chronic conditions. By thoroughly examining your past health, we uncover insights that could have lasting implications for your future, enabling us to take a truly informed and proactive approach to your care.
Family History
Your genetic background plays a critical role in shaping your health risks. Conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and dementia can have significant genetic components. By taking a detailed family health history, we identify patterns and potential risks, allowing us to tailor recommendations to mitigate your unique genetic predispositions and support your long-term health.
Medication Review
Medications are a powerful tool for managing and preventing illness, but their effectiveness and safety depend on proper oversight. During this review, we evaluate your current prescription and over-the-counter medications to identify opportunities for optimization. This includes removing redundant or outdated medications, addressing side effects, and ensuring each medication in your regimen contributes to your health goals effectively and safely.
Lifestyle Discussion
Lifestyle choices have a profound impact on your overall health, serving as both risks and opportunities. In this discussion, we delve into key lifestyle factors such as diet, physical activity, sleep, and stress. Together, we identify areas that can be improved and explore potential barriers to change, providing personalized guidance to help you make sustainable, positive adjustments to your daily habits.
Symptom Screening
Your current symptoms can offer valuable clues about your overall health. In a supportive and unrushed environment, we invite you to share any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing. We will also guide you through a comprehensive screening checklist to identify any potential warning signs or 'red flag' symptoms that may require further investigation.
Cognitive Screening
Dementia risk is highly modifiable, with an estimated 45% of cases linked to lifestyle factors. As part of your assessment, we conduct a baseline cognitive evaluation to understand your brain health and identify potential risks. By exploring your past and present cognitive risk factors, we provide recommendations to preserve and enhance your cognitive function for years to come.
