Comprehensive Health Assessment
In this, our signature program, we conduct an in depth medical and lifestyle history, clinical examination, laboratory, functional and diagnostic testing to determine an individual’s disease risk and initiate appropriate treatment. The initial evaluation encompasses several hours of one-on-one consultations with dedicated members of the medical team. Based on those findings, we create personalized programs centered on four components: low-glycemic nutrition with high quality supplements, exercise, hormone optimization using only bioidentical hormones, and stress management.
- Once scheduled, you will complete a comprehensive Healthy Aging and Lifestyles Assessment questionnaire in the convenience of your home or office.
- We will arrange for an extensive panel of blood work to be drawn prior to your initial visit.
- A thorough medical history and examination will be performed by a board certified Alternity Healthcare physician. This will include review of your Healthy Aging and Lifestyles Assessment questionnaire and blood test results.
- A nutrition consultation with a clinical nutritionist will provide the basis for an individualized eating program. Alternity Healthcare promotes low-glycemic and Paleolithic style diets: high in nutrient-dense foods (fruits, vegetables, lean meats and essential fats) and low in refined, overly processed foods, fats and simple carbohydrates.
- An exercise assessment and training with an exercise physiologist or physical therapist includes: an aerobic capacity test with EKG to determine VO2 max, strength, balance and flexibility testing.
- Body composition and bone mineral density are determined via GE Lunar densitometry scan.
- Mental health and cognitive screening tests are also performed.
- A nutritionally balanced and tasty example of our recommended food plan will be served for lunch.
Optional components may be added for additional fee

After all of your diagnostic testing is completed, your Alternity Healthcare physician will discuss the findings, answer all questions and develop a comprehensive program to ensure both short and long term health goals can be realized. Ongoing periodic consultations and annual exams are undertaken to track progress and make any adjustments to your individualized medical program.
