Physician Says Good Health May Be “Secret Weapon” for Climbing the Corporate Ladder

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 21, 2008 – Hard work, experience and qualifications are all factors when a company is considering layoff and promotions, but can your health play a role as well? That’s what physician Mickey Barber, M.D., has heard recently from several of her patients, as the stresses of working in the slowed economy sends more and more patients to her door.

Dr. Barber, CEO of Cenegenics Carolinas, a preventive health medical institute in Charleston, S.C., whose customer base is made up largely of business professionals, says patients are coming to Cenegenics to give them a competitive edge in the business world.

“I’ve had several patients recently tell me that they’re keeping their visits to Cenegenics a secret to get a leg up on their co-workers and competitors,” says Dr. Barber. “People who go through our program find improved health, increased concentration and focus, and more energy to tackle their careers. They’re hitting the golf ball further than business associates 10 years younger. We may be the best kept secret in business.”

Dr. Barber recently had a patient who brought an employee whom he wanted to see promoted, but who was in poor physical condition, to Cenegenics. The employee was later promoted after seeing results with the program.

Kenneth Chadwick, patient and owner of Chase Fasteners Inc. in Melrose Park, Ill., decided that the daily stresses of doing business in this challenging economy made it imperative for him to be at the top of his game and he came to Cenegenics for help to get there. “When do people usually quit work? When they lose the stamina, desire and purpose of life.” Chadwick says. “When they lose the drive, they quit on life.”

Cenegenics patients start with an executive health evaluation, a seven-hour comprehensive assessment that includes 90 different blood labs and other tests, many of which are never completed during a traditional physical. These tests measure body fat, muscle mass, bone density and cognitive abilities to provide a detailed picture of a patient’s overall health and risk factors. After the evaluation, the patient’s personal Cenegenics physician prescribes a customized regimen of nutrition, exercise, nutraceuticals and hormone optimization to maximize their health and help them feel years younger than their age.
