A comprehensive health assessment is a complex and in-depth look at a person’s well-being as a whole. This is typically done by a combination of questions about lifestyle, dietary habits, family history, and more as well as labs to get a comprehensive picture of your overall health. This picture is more than just a snapshot.

The goal of a comprehensive health assessment is to gain comprehensive insight into a person’s overall well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally. During this assessment, a baseline will be to establish to indicate where your health is at.

At Reveal Vitality, we know holistic treatment works. To reflect on progress, patients can refer to their health grade. Our health grade is an indicator of where your health started versus where it’s at now. Seeing how far you’ve come can help to keep you going and pushing for more. The more connected you become with your body, the better you can communicate what you notice and what your needs may be. At Reveal Vitality, we offer the following holistic treatments for patients that can compliment a comprehensive health assessment while addressing the needs of each individual patient.

• Hormone Optimization In Sarasota: Hormone optimization or hormone replacement therapies can be effective for hormone imbalances within your adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormone systems. These imbalances can be caused by internal and external factors, but are often correctable. Symptoms of hormone imbalances may include brain fog, depression, headaches, excessive weight gain, sexual dysfunction… and the list goes on. If your comprehensive health assessment points to a surplus or deficit in certain hormones, correcting that imbalance may be possible through hormone optimization therapy.
• Detoxification Treatment In Sarasota: Detoxification treatment is the act of ridding the body of toxins, chemicals, and other substances that negatively affect our health. A reduced toxic loan on our livers, kidneys, and other organs can have a significant impact on our health, both short and long term. Symptoms of a build up in toxins may include obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, fatigue, infertility, allergies, behavior and mood disorders, and neurological conditions such as tremors, headaches, and cognitive difficulties, along with several other diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Nutrition Counseling In Sarasota: Nutrition counseling can provide you with the tools to make a world of difference in your overall health and wellbeing. When you provide your body with the nutrition it needs, you can mitigate symptoms such as obesity, brain fog, depression, fatigue, infertility, and much more. When it comes to the human body, food is fuel. It is easy to succumb to grab and go conveniences that don’t hit the mark when it comes to providing our bodies with what they need. Nutritional counseling can be the key to unlock more energy, healthier BMI, decreased risk of disease, and more.

Comprehensive health assessments are designed to be, well, comprehensive. When we talk to patients about what a comprehensive health assessment entails, we break it down into three main components.

1. Medical history: This part of the process will be multifaceted. Some topics you can expect to cover with your physician include; family history of disease and mental health disorders, personal history of medical diagnoses, details about any symptoms you are experiencing, and more.
2. Physical exam: The physical exam can go a bit beyond what you would expect at a regular check-up exam. Our in-depth physical exam will include, but not be limited to, monitoring of vital signs as well as evaluating your body using percussion, palpitation, and auscultation.
3. Laboratory testing: This is an essential part of a comprehensive health exam. By examining your comprehensive health profile including your comprehensive metabolic panel, comprehensive blood count, vitamin D, hemoglobin A1C, urinalysis and more, we can gain invaluable insight. Testing allows us to better understand the inner workings of your body so that a treatment plan can be compromised. These results can provide crucial information including markers for inflammation, organ function, and more.

By integrating these three components and examining your total body, in combination with listening to what the patient is feeling or concerned about, we can make personalized recommendations. Our treatment plans prioritize what’s best for your health, while keeping sustainability top of mind. A comprehensive health assessment is such an important step in getting the right care, since each individual is so vastly different and deserves to be seen and treated on an individual level.

To gain a better understanding of what a comprehensive assessment looks like in practice, let’s go over a comprehensive health assessment example.

Let’s say a 42 year old woman named Pam comes in with complaints of fatigue, insomnia, and unexplained weight gain. Pam would like to partake in a comprehensive health assessment in order to understand what her body may need in order to feel its best.

During her medical history review, Pam discloses a family history of thyroid disorders. Additionally, Pam discoses that she has been under an excessive amount of stress at work, which may have an impact on her sleep patterns and hormone production. Hormones may additionally already be shifting due to Pam’s age, but testing can verify this.

During her medical examination, Pam’s physician notices an enlarged thyroid gland as well as an elevated blood pressure. The physician also notices some dry skin and thinning hair, which may be an indication of a thyroid disorder and/or excessive stress hormone production.

Laboratory testing confirms the suspicions of a thyroid disorder as well as imbalanced hormones. While this is concerning, these can be treatable conditions. Pam and her physician can now collaborate to form an effective treatment plan. This may involve nutritional counseling, hormone optimization therapy, and any other treatment that Pam and her physician think may improve her health.

When it comes to our health, it’s best to be proactive. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms or not, getting a comprehensive health assessment can help you learn about your body. It can also help you make adjustments to maintain your health longer while feeling better.

Prevention is always the best form of treatment.
