PREVENTATIVE CARE GUIDE
More testing does not equal better health. Low-value screenings cause harm. Here is the exact schedule we use, based exclusively on Grade A and B evidence.
CORE METABOLIC BASELINE
Every adult patient in our practice establishes a baseline. This is not a "full body check." It is a targeted search for asymptomatic metabolic dysfunction.
Common Mistakes
- Demanding a PSA test without discussing the high rate of false positives and subsequent invasive biopsies.
- Ignoring lipid panels until age 40 (familial hypercholesterolemia manifests early).
- Skipping cervical cancer screening because you had the HPV vaccine.
FAQ
Why don't you offer "executive physicals" with MRIs?
Because the data shows they are harmful. Prophylactic full-body MRIs have a false-positive rate exceeding 30%. This leads to unnecessary stress, radiation from follow-up CT scans, and invasive biopsies of benign tissue.
How often should I get bloodwork?
For a healthy adult with a normal baseline, annually is sufficient. If we are actively managing a condition like hypertension or hyperlipidemia, we may draw specific markers every 3-6 months.
