Wellness Exams

Why should I schedule wellness exams?

Wellness exams are a part of preventive healthcare and a great way to take a proactive approach to managing your health over your life. 

These visits focus on establishing a better understanding of how your body is currently functioning and looking for ways to enhance your health and wellness. 

Wellness exams offer the chance to catch disease in the earliest possible stages when treatment is most effective. They’re also an opportunity to receive guidance on a variety of health topics and set goals for not only how you want to feel and function today but also how you’d like your future years to look and feel. 

What happens during wellness exams?

Part of the visit focuses on gathering some basic measures like your height and weight and checking your heart rate, blood pressure, and other essential functions. 

There is also time built in for you to discuss how you’re feeling and bring up any areas of concern. Feel free to ask questions about any health and wellness issue that interests you. Thinking about adding supplements to your nutrition plan and wondering how to improve sleep quality and sexual health are all common topics. 

Emily is here to help you set clear goals for improving your health and reducing your risk of chronic disease and other problems. If you’re nearing retirement age, you may want to focus on things like improving balance, how to stay cognitively sharp, and how to reduce your risk of falls. 

How can I prepare for my wellness exams?

One of the best ways to prepare for a wellness exam is to take some time to think about what you’d like to achieve from the experience. Many people find it helpful to make a list of concerns and also a list of areas they would like to enhance. 

Be prepared to share the full details of all supplements and medications you’re taking, including the dosing schedule. This allows Emily to review your drug therapy to ensure that your medications are delivering the intended effects.
