Prevention Now will Lead to Better Health in the Future

CHARLESTON, S.C. - April 27, 2016 - PRLog -- Healthcare prevention encompasses age and disease management. By any name there is a heightened need for personalized medical attention in today's challenging healthcare environment. Staying healthy requires advocating for  health and preventing chronic disease. A comprehensive Preventive Age Management profile puts patient's back in the drivers seat for their wellness.

Common sense tells us to eat right and exercise. Going beyond common sense to understanding one's unique health profile is a science. Thus, opening the door wider to advanced medical treatments and access to one on one care.

A Preventive Age Management profile and program concentrates on a patient's unique healthcare profile and navigates a treatment plan over time. In order to feel good later, the time to prevent problems is now.

Take a moment to see if you know the answer to these common markers for health and wellness.

• Are you diabetic or pre-diabetic?
• How is your blood pressure and cholesterol?
• Are your Vitamin D, bone density, and heart health in a good range?
• What is your Body Mass Index?
• At what heart rate do you start burning fat? What is your Resting Metabolic Rate?
• Would you pass a balance test?
• Do you need pharmaceutical grade supplements? If so, which ones?
• Are there genetic markers for disease placing you at higher risk? What can you do to reduce your risk?
• How best can you drop weight and increase metabolism?
• Where is your testosterone level compared to where it should be to feel vital?
• Is your cognitive function satisfactory?

An Age Preventive Profile that includes a thorough assessment, laboratory tests, metabolic testing as well as a one on one physician consultation can help prevent health problems in the future.
