It's really all about You. It's Your Journey...
The Journey Medical Program is the result of over 30 years of medical experience, that continues to develop and evolve as new knowledge and health study results are acquired.
By its very nature, a journey is a living experience and is fluid in nature. Over time, your living journey continues to evolve as circumstances change. Therefore, as we embark on this journey together – working as a team towards achieving your optimal health – we want you to be ready for gathering some new tools of Lifestyle Medicine to enable your body to heal itself.
During this process, we will assist you in collecting all the tools that you need to integrate healthy habits into Your Journey of Living Younger & regain control over your own health. We will help you discard those habits that harm your longevity, physical and mental health, and your overall well-being. You will be the sole beneficiary of this experience in body, mind, and soul. Our priority is to help you take control of your health and to equip you with the knowledge that can help you awaken your inner powers of self repair at the cellular level – with regeneration and rejuvenation.
Health Care over Sick Care
The Journey Medical Program works individually with each patient towards improving their health span and promoting ageless health. The program aims to help younger patients prevent certain medical issues, and older patients to stop some conditions from becoming worse. Young or old, it is important to maintain good health.
Individuals between the ages of 30 years old and 75 or more – can benefit their overall wellness by taking advantage of the preventative-aging services offered by the Journey Medical Program. We use evidence-based scientific research and inform each patient regarding the safety and effectiveness of all treatments and lifestyle options.
Helping aging patients gain more vitality and maintain good health via integrative Lifestyle Medicine.
Most aging-related diseases are preventable. Patient education is the best tool to promote overall health and well-being. It is easier to stop something from happening in the first place than to repair the damage after it has already occurred. A lack of prevention may result in the development of disease that can gradually progress into an established or critical condition. This often ends up resulting in huge health care costs and a diminished quality of life.
Preventative-aging health measures exist and can help to postpone aging-related disabilities and medical issues. Patient outcomes genuinely speak for themselves, with noted significant improvements in overall body composition, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, energy level, and an improvement in longevity.
We tailor treatment based upon each patient’s individual risk factors and personal wellness goals.
Journey Medical also serves as a resource for other healthcare providers who may need assistance in managing a patient’s specific condition in regards to making improvements to their health and lifestyle.
