Consultations and Planning

After your exams, testing, and a healthy lunch, you will participate in three individual consultations with wellness professionals. During these sessions you will discuss your typical daily activities, preferences, and challenges. This will help us create personalized plans for improving your health

Fitness

Our exercise specialist will use data from your visit including your body composition and fitness test results to help you build achievable strategies for incorporating physical activity into your life, based on your preferences, schedule, and health needs.

Nutrition

You will talk to our nutritionist about your current dietary habits and health goals. For example, you may want to increase your energy levels or manage your weight but are challenged by all-day meetings or frequent travel. They will use this information, along with your lab and body composition test results, to develop a simple, realistic nutrition plan to help you meet your targets.

Stress

Stress is a part of your daily life, and in small amounts it may increase productivity and sense of achievement. High levels, however, can have mental and physical consequences. Our stress manager will help you identify your most pressing stressors and provide you with the skills and tools to manage them.

At the end of your day, you will have an in-depth conversation with your doctor to review your results and together make a plan to improve your health and overall well-being.
