Preventive Medicine means seeking out and treating diseases, conditions and risk factors early on—before they become bigger problems that are more difficult to treat—and achieving lifestyle changes that decrease risk factors and the risk of diseases. This would include:

• Preventive Cardiology (preventing heart conditions by treating abnormal lipids (cholesterol, others), inflammation, high blood pressure, diabetes/ pre-diabetes/ insulin resistance, obesity/ increased weight/ increased body-mass index, and “metabolic syndrome”)

• Preventive Neurology (by delaying or decreasing the risk of memory loss, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and other chronic brain conditions)

• Preventive Oncology (decreasing the risk of future cancer or finding cancer early when small and easier to cure)

• Preventive ‘Musculoskeletology’ (decreasing muscle loss and bone loss, while maintaining joint integrity and mobility, while avoiding or minimizing arthritis and back and neck pain)

• Preventing or Minimizing Decline in ‘Quality-of-Life’ & ‘Healthspan’
   

• Optimizing energy levels, vitality and productivity

• Maintaining sexual health

• Maintaining skin health (elasticity and appearance)

• Maintaining normal body weight and composition (maintaining normal muscle, bone and fat mass)

• Optimizing exercise capacity

• Optimizing sleep quality

• Maintaining mental health (avoiding depression, anxiety, mood swings)

• Avoiding or improving urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine)
