What can I expect during a lifestyle wellness evaluation?

As an experienced physician, Dr. Fortin prides himself on his ability to find and fix the root cause of your health issues and concerns. When you come to the office for a lifestyle wellness evaluation, you can expect a thorough examination.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Fortin asks many detailed questions about your health, medical history, family history, diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits. Real questionnaires will help him great your wellness and lifestyle profiles. He may also request advanced testing to shed light on your health risks and provide the best treatment pathways.

Your individualized testing can include:

  • Gastrointestinal study
  • Testing for nutritional deficiencies and toxicities
  • Food sensitivity testing

 

These tests provide information to identify the deficiencies or toxicities that cause oxidative stress in your body.  Oxidative stress is a health condition that reflects an unhealthy imbalance of antioxidants and free radicals in your body.  This imbalance can destroy healthy cells and tissue in your body while also increasing your risk of developing chronic health conditions like cancer and heart disease.

Once your testing is completed, Dr. Fortin provides you with an interpretive printout of your results.

What are lifestyle wellness treatments?

Dr. Fortin works with you to create an individualized lifestyle wellness plan that specifically addresses the underlying problems that damage your health or prevent you from reaching top-notch well-being. Utilizing a well-proven nutritional goal setting and coaching technique, this plan will help you to make the changes necessary to achieve your wellness goals.

Your lifestyle wellness treatment plan may include:

  • Graded nutrition program with time and goal markers
  • Systematic therapeutic exercise program
  • Long-term wellness program

 

Spine Technology and Rehabilitation may also include other health disciplines in your plan to support your lifestyle wellness goals. These could consist of physical therapy, Pilates and tai chi classes, and personal training.

Your lifestyle wellness program is an ongoing plan, and Dr. Fortin schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. He may also repeat your diagnostic testing to ensure your treatment plan is working.
