Are you looking to be healthier, feel better, and live happier but don’t know what to do or where to start?
Do you want to prevent or reverse chronic disease and extend your lifespan?
Do you want a doctor that is focused on you being healthy rather than simply being ‘not sick’?
The mainstream view on aging includes suffering from chronic illnesses, taking multiple medications, and being in constant pain. Rates of chronic diseases like heart attacks, diabetes, dementia, and cancer continue to rise. Most medical guidelines and pharmaceuticals are focused solely on managing diseases rather than trying to cure them. And despite the many advancements in modern medicine, the lifespan of the Western World has decreased for the first time in history. However, this does not have to be your destiny. We firmly believe that the human body is designed well — it just needs the right information to thrive.
Through an in-depth look at the human genome partnered with extensive blood work and health data tracking, we are hoping to give our clients the best chance at solving their current health challenges, preventing or reverse chronic disease, and enhancing their quality of life. We believe that chronic disease like early heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and cancer can be delayed, reversed, or even prevented with the right information and support.
We call this precision or personalized medicine because it is a health program precisely designed for you and ONLY YOU. With this approach, we can gain better insights to your risk of developing future diseases, uncover hidden factors that may be contributing to your current state of health, and learn which lifestyle factors and supplements your body needs to perform at its best. We take the guesswork out of health and wellness, outline your personalized path to health, and support you along the way.
Steps of Authentic Health Precision Medicine Primary Care:
Step 1: Genetics
Genetics
The first step toward optimal health is knowing what makes you unique. We sequence your DNA and identify small differences in your genome that can impact your health like nutritional needs, chronic disease risks, and exercise preferences. Think of this like the blueprint of your body!
Step 2: Comprehensive Blood Data
Comprehensive Blood Data
Knowing your genetics is very helpful, but it does not tell us about your current state of health. We look at extensive laboratory data to see how these genetic changes may already be impacting your health. This data includes advanced cardiac markers, metabolic health markers, key nutrient markers,, hormone levels, and other factors that define health and how you feel.
Step 3: Lifestyle
Lifestyle
The best way we can guide you forward is understanding how you have lived your life up until now. We will ask you questions about your day-to-day schedule, your likes and dislikes, and how you are doing with the five pillars of health: diet, physical activity, sleep, mental wellbeing, and social connection.
