The
Midlife Tune-Up – We All Need it!
They say that
if you change your oil and get your car tuned-up regularly,
the odds of you having that car running smoothly for a long
time is greatly enhanced. We all know this to be true, but
how many of us follow the car manufacturer’s
recommendations? Did you know that most car’s according
to Toyota, GM, BMW, etc. are to brought in for check-ups/tune-ups
every 30,000 to 50,000 miles? Yes your car is to have a tune-up
every thirty to fifty thousand miles. What about you? Are
you in need of a midline tune-up?
About the age of
forty and every year thereafter a person should get a midlife
tune-up? What would this include? In
the ideal setting it would include:
Telling the physician
your future health goals
Going over any health concerns you have had in the past year
Physical examination
Pap Smear
Hemoccult test (for blood in the stools)
Laboratory studies (blood work)
Some of the more common laboratory
studies that would test for the following:
Hormone levels
Kidney function
Liver function\
Blood pH
Glucose Tolerance
Lipid Profile (cholesterol)
Heart Disease Risk Profile
Immune System
Vitamin Levels
Mineral Levels
Heavy Metal Toxicity
Blood Clotting
Cancer Physiology
Cancer Blood Tests
You see the average person feels ok and
they think everything is ok. Just like your car is running
ok, so everything in my car must be ok. The reason to take
the car in, is so when you are on that long trip in the middle
of nowhere your car doesn’t overheat because you are
out of oil. Realize that by the time a person gets diagnosed
with heart disease (angina, heart attack) or cancer they
have had heart disease or cancer physiology for ten, twenty,
thirty, or forty years? It is much harder to treat once the
disease is established. Why not prevent it. Did you know
that you can know today whether or not you have coronary
calcifications (Heartcheck America test)? You can know today
whether or not you have the beginnings of cancer physiology
that can lead to cancer? Did you know that a man who is beginning
hair loss has a 95% of keeping the rest of hair and/or growing
some of that lost hair back by going on a comprehensive natural
medicine/integrative program? Did you know that one of the
biggest risks for getting breast cancer is the type of bra
a woman uses and the amount of time she wears a bra?
There
are many health facts that a person can learn about themselves
by getting a midline tune-up? Don’t wait
til its too late. Be preventative. Be pro-active. Don’t
just be in ok health, why not be in awesome health. Feel
younger then your stated age. See a natural
medicine physician today and get tuned-up and most likely you will tone up.
It will be the best investment you could make because it
will be in you!
