Adult Wellness Program
Modeled after successful so-called “executive fitness programs”,
The Village Doctor has created a Wellness Program starting with a comprehensive
annual physical exam: expanded laboratory and electrocardiovascular screening
coupled with the availability of dietary and fitness counseling is the
foundation of our belief that “wellness” is much more than
the simple absence of disease.
Metabolic Health and Fitness Training
Our team of world-class fitness experts uses cutting-edge metabolic testing
technology to make it possible for individuals to work within the most
appropriate training zone to help achieve their fitness goals. Testing
determines calories burned during exercise and whether fats or carbohydrates
are used as the primary energy source. Also determined is VO2 max, resting
metabolic rate, and heart rate response under demand. By working smarter,
not harder, personal exercise goals are achieved more rapidly, and safely.
By using a personal trainer, you will be motivated to be your best, and
feel your best.
Nutritional Health Program
This program is designed to help you learn how to make better food choices,
improve your health, and reach weight loss goals. Using counseling, education,
coaching, or even a personalized supermarket tour, our Nutrition consultant
will help you on your way to a more energetic, healthy, lifestyle.
Women’s Health
The previous decade has finally seen advances in the visibility and understanding
of issues relating to women’s health. The Village Doctor looks forward
to leveraging this increased scientific knowledge with one-on-one attention
to optimize the health of the women in our practice. Osteoporosis prevention,
personalized hormone balancing, and gender specific exercise and nutritional
counseling will also be available.
Personalized Genetic Screening Program
The Village Doctor and Navigenics, a Redwood Shores-based personal genetics company, have teamed together to offer a unique program that provides you with a detailed analysis of your personal genetic predisposition for a variety of preventable health conditions. In face-to-face consultation with a Village Doctor physician, you will review the personalized report and discuss specific recommendations to reduce your chances of developing those conditions for which you have an elevated lifetime genetic risk.
