Our Approach

Modern healthcare often focuses on managing symptoms rather than achieving true health. Patients are frequently limited by insurance constraints, pharmaceutical-driven treatment models, and overburdened physicians with little time for in-depth care. This system can leave people feeling like just another number, navigating a maze of diagnoses without a clear path forward.

At MyHealth1st, we take a different approach. Whether you’re here to maintain your health, reclaim it, or optimize it, our foundation remains the same—lifestyle and food as medicine. While diagnoses can be useful in describing symptoms, they don’t always tell the full story of how to reverse or prevent illness at the root level. That’s why we go deeper. Rather than focusing solely on labels, we take a data-driven approach, measuring comprehensive biomarkers to assess your health, guide your treatment plan, and track long-term progress. These markers allow us to intervene early, fine-tune your care, and ensure that we’re not just addressing symptoms—we’re keeping you truly well.

We also believe in the value of real, face-to-face time with your provider. Healthcare should be personal, and we take the time to get to know you, your goals, and your unique health needs. Our aim is to be more than just a clinic—we want to be your trusted health hub, a resource for guidance, education, and proactive strategies that support graceful aging and lifelong wellness.

No matter where you are on your health journey—whether you’re thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between—we meet you there. From assessing your current health status to developing a proactive, preventive plan, we’ll walk you through each step.

What is your main health concern?

Unraveling Your Unique Health Journey

Our Health Timeline is more than a consultation; it’s a comprehensive exploration of your story. 

What to Expect:

  • Holistic Understanding: In a dedicated 90-120 minute session, your provider dives deeply into your past, pinpointing patterns and pivotal life events that have impacted you.
  • A Different Approach: Unlike traditional “new patient” visits, where symptoms are primarily addressed, your provider aims to uncover the root causes of your health challenges, providing a richer, more nuanced understanding.
  • Tailored Next Steps: From the insights of your Health Timeline, your provider suggests specific tests and dietary modifications, setting the stage for the comprehensive “Biomarker Assessment”. This ensures your ensuing treatment journey is tailored and effective.

Your Health, Illuminated

Unlocking your health’s complexities, our Biomarker Assessment paints a detailed picture of your unique biological landscape.

Key Insights:

  • Beyond the Surface: While you might not always feel the storm brewing beneath, many without acute or visible chronic issues harbor abnormal labs, tipping towards potential health complications. Our mission? To intercept and optimize these markers before they manifest as larger issues.
  • The Blueprint of Your Health: Biomarkers don’t just indicate symptoms; they spotlight the root causes. By digging into these physiological tales, we’re able to align treatments with the actual underlying concerns, propelling you toward genuine vitality and optimal health.
  • Evidence-Based Decisions: Our commitment lies in practicing precision medicine. By interpreting the subtle indicators in your blood, we gain an objective perspective on your health, sidestepping the limitations of assumptions or generic diagnoses.
  • Measure, Treat, Measure, Repeat: Our philosophy is clear and potent. Upon identifying an abnormal or suboptimal biomarker, we craft a tailored treatment strategy to heal your body. By subsequently re-measuring the marker and fine-tuning treatments based on live data, we ensure superior health outcomes.

Your assessment usually involves a panel of lab markers predominantly sourced from LabCorp. Depending on individual needs, some might require more specialized testing from our esteemed lab affiliates like DHA Laboratory, Doctor’s Data, Genova, and others.

For those in the midst of restoring their health, the active management approach is all about regaining balance and vitality.
  • Tailored Holistic Plan: Grounded in the insights from your biomarker patterns, we curate a comprehensive protocol exclusively for you. This encapsulates dietary guidance, advanced nutritional support, exercise, and the oversight of any ongoing prescription medications.
  • Additional Therapies & Assessments: Depending on your unique needs, our providers may recommend supplementary treatments and evaluations integral to your recuperation.
  • Timed Reassessment: Health isn’t static. After the initial implementation of your personalized protocol, we typically schedule reassessments within a 1-6 month window. This ensures the continued relevance and effectiveness of your health plan.
Once the foundational health issues are addressed, or for those already in a good health stance, we transition to a preventive mode.
  • Guaranteed Longevity: As you journey through life, our role is to ensure that it’s in the healthiest manner possible. This involves dietary advice, periodic health screenings like Thermography, and other vital support systems.
  • Supportive Therapies: Your health deserves only the best. Whether it’s advanced nutritional backing, guidance on current medications, or innovative peptide therapy, we’ve got you covered.
  • Maintenance Biomarkers: Think of these as the guardians of your health. These lab markers serve as a predictive toolset, allowing us to define and uphold wellness across all facets of your being. By addressing these holistically and monitoring them regularly, we ensure your well-being remains optimized.

Health isn’t a destination; it’s an ongoing journey. As life evolves, we remain steadfast in our promise to adapt and recalibrate treatments as needed. Our ‘Measure, Treat, Measure, Repeat’ mantra encapsulates this dynamic approach, promising you a resilient path to enduring wellness.
