Prevention is easiest to put off when you feel fine. A simple, long-term plan makes it much easier to stay on top of your health and catch changes early.
Starting with a baseline
A preventive plan begins with understanding where you are today: your history, family history, current medications, lifestyle and, where appropriate, baseline lab work. This gives you and your physician something to compare against in the future.
Lifestyle as part of the plan
Sleep, activity, nutrition and stress management are not extras. They are the foundation of most preventive plans. The goal is not perfection, but realistic changes you can keep up, agreed with your physician and reviewed over time.
How often to review
Your physician will suggest a review schedule that fits your health and goals, and sooner if something changes. Each review is a chance to check progress, repeat any labs that are due and adjust the plan.
Having the same physicians follow your plan over time means changes are noticed in context, which is one of the biggest advantages of ongoing care.
