It starts with a physical exam.

Genes, environment, and aging define your risk of and development of disease -

some diseases you may be predisposed to, some diseases are environmentally triggered or caused, and other diseases being a part of the natural aging process.

Identifying and intervening before or as early as possible in the aging or disease process is our goal of therapy.

A thorough physical examination and laboratory analysis are needed to assess the overall current health of an individual. At Complete Men’s Healthcare, we perform a thorough history and head to toe physical examination along with a 21-panel laboratory analysis to evaluate the health status of our patients.  This initial history, along with the physical and laboratory evaluation forms the basis for further investigation and treatment plan recommendations.

Functional Medicine

If you had perfect genetics in a perfect environment you would have no disease.

Unfortunately, most of us do not have perfect genetics and no one has a perfect environment.  What if you knew what your genetic and environmental risks were? Would you make changes in your life?

Traditional medicine, a disease-based model, tries to identify the disease and disease treatment. Functional medicine, an etiology-based model, tries not only to identify the disease and treatment, but identify the individual's genetic and environmental risks that contributed to the disease thus hoping to prevent recurrence of the disease and if fortunate correct the processes where the body can heal itself.

As a relatively new branch of medicine,  functional medicine can be fraught with “opportunists” and challenged by traditional medicine. Be assured that at CMH we are grounded in science, trained in traditional medicine, but open to new concepts, and practice medicine ethically.
