Begin with the person
Medical and family history, medications, prior testing, sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, travel, occupational demands and personal goals establish the context in which every measurement must be interpreted.
A physical examination and conventional preventive-care review remain foundational. Advanced testing should complement—not replace—good clinical medicine.
Build the diagnostic picture
Depending on the patient, an assessment may include standard and expanded bloodwork, body composition, hormone and metabolic evaluation, cardiovascular risk assessment, GI-MAP or other gastrointestinal testing, environmental-exposure testing and selected cancer-screening tools such as Galleri when appropriate.
No test is perfect. False positives, false negatives, biological variability and differences between laboratories must be considered before acting on a result.
Translate findings into priorities
The final product should not be a stack of reports. It should be a prioritized clinical blueprint: what requires conventional medical attention, what merits monitoring, what can be improved through behavior and what—if anything—justifies a specialized intervention.
