Prevention
It is always better to prevent a problem than to try to cure a problem that already exists. It is always better to find a problem early rather than late.
Many allopathic practitioners do a good job of offering preventative services. Many also assist with healthy lifestyle changes but cannot allow adequate time to assist with motivation. An annual exam may be more useful in identifying and assisting with health lifestyle changes than in identifying diseases.
The standard allopathic Schedule of Preventative Care is very good at catching early problems, although most people do not utilize these services. It is not a plan for optimal health, however.
The goal of optimizing health is to prevent the diseases found in the Schedule of Preventative Care from ever starting. There is no "one plan" that is best for everyone, and increased prevention comes with increased cost. Everyone needs basic good nutrition and most people in the U.S. do not get even this minimum requirement. At Fordland Family Medical, we work with you to identify your greatest risks and design the most cost effective plan for optimal health to suit your risks, desires and pocketbook.
