The beginning of the school year is a good time to take stock of your health through an annual naturopathic health exam. Early intervention with first warning signs (such as slightly high cholesterol, small fibroids, rising blood sugar levels, mild allergies, etc.) can correct health problems before they become chronic. Keeping track of your health records. I highly recommend taking charge of your health and creating a health file that contains your own copies of blood test results and other lab testing (ultrasounds, mammograms, bone density tests, food intolerance testing, hormone panels). I would be happy to help you interpret and assess them. Knowing your family history. The other side of preventative medicine is to understand your family history. This can help make decisions about when to start more invasive screening (such as mammogram or colonoscopy), and helps design a long-term treatment plan. If you don’t have all of this information, please ask family members. The new field of “epigenetics” has found that we are not powerless against our genetic predisposition, and we can in fact change some of the genetic trends that we pass on to our children. Being proactive about your health by maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, managing stress, and minimizing toxin exposure go a long way in prevention. Proactive lab testing. If there is information lacking in your health file, I can fill in the missing pieces with lab testing: standard blood tests (cholesterol, iron, vitamin B12, thyroid, blood sugar, etc.) are all available through the clinic, as well as specialized testing including: food sensitivity testing, hormone panels or heavy metal testing. Even if you are not currently unwell, an annual health assessment can review your current health status, make sure your lab testing and screening is up to date, and discuss your current health goals for the year and for prevention.
