Lifestyle Modifications
Exercise and Strength Training
We work as the nexus between your current healthcare providers and preventative care. Our approach allows us to identify your risk factors and create a personalized program to both improve your health and prevent or delay the onset of disease. You’ll learn how simple, easy changes (the earlier the better!) in fitness, nutrition, lifestyle, and optional supplementation can effectively improve healthspan.
Example of Care
Client is a 65 year-old male and presents with prediabetes (with a steadily creeping A1C and fasting glucose score), no family history of cardiovascular disease (and good markers), a mother with Alzheimer's disease, and no history of exercise other than walking and daily activity.
Given the specifics, we would likely encourage specific dietary changes to reverse the prediabetes and allow the body to gain back metabolic flexibility (particularly given the correlations T2D has to Alzheimer's Disease). We'd also focus on optimal sleep and begin a strength and frailty prevention routine (including balance and mobility work) along with an exercise prescription geared to improve mitochondrial health and metabolic function. The client would learn how to eat to fit his specific needs and risk factors, and how to squat, hip hinge, and move correctly in a variety of circumstances.
