Modern lifestyles have made it easier than ever to overlook our health. Longer hours, increased stress, poor eating habits, sedentary activities, and insufficient sleep can lead to serious health issues. Lifestyle-related problems get tougher to manage as many of them develop without showing symptoms.

An executive health assessment aids health management by marketing the importance of health and well-being and the role early illness detection plays. Managing lifestyle-related diseases in a proactive way is the long-term aim. At Noosa Longevity Health, executive health assessments help people take action against health concerns well before those concerns translate to lifestyle diseases.

What Is An Executive Health Assessment?

An executive health assessment is a thorough health assessment that is a lot more involved than your standard health check. Executive health assessments provide better insights and evaluations of long-term health by identifying early symptoms of diseases and the factors that affect health.

At Noosa Longevity Health, an executive health assessment may include:

• Comprehensive blood testing

• Cardiovascular health screening

• Metabolic health evaluation

• Hormonal analysis

• Body composition assessment

• Lifestyle and nutrition review

• Stress and recovery assessment

• Physical fitness evaluation

Executive health assessments also play a role in the development of strategies that promote the health of individuals in a proactive way.

What Are Lifestyle Diseases?

Lifestyle diseases are chronic conditions that develop as a result of poor lifestyle choices over long periods of time. Unlike injury related diseases, lifestyle diseases are not easily diagnosed.

Lifestyle diseases that are increasing in prevalence include:

• Heart Disease

• Type Two Diabetes

• High Blood Pressure

• Obesity

• Fatty Liver Disease

• Metabolic Syndrome

• Sleep Disorders

• Chronic Stress Related Illnesses

The chance of preventing and/or postponing the above diseases increases the earlier they are caught.

The Benefits of Early Detection

One of the greatest benefits that an executive health assessment provides is the opportunity to identify a health concern before the onset of symptoms. Many serious health concerns develop over time and go undetected and/or unnoticed.

For example:

• High Cholesterol is symptomless

• High Blood Pressure goes undetected for years

• Insulin Resistance is developed long before diabetes is diagnosed

• Chronic Inflammation increases the risk of disease

Being the first to diagnose allows the health practitioner to provide the individual with a number of lifestyle and health prevention strategies that, if adopted, will help avert any chronic disease before it becomes irreversible.

At Noosa Longevity Health, we strongly advocate health prevention versus a curative approach.

How an Executive Health Assessment Identifies the Diseases of the Modern Lifestyle

Advanced Blood Testing

Comprehensive blood testing provides the opportunity to assess a large number of health parameters.

Testing can assess:

• Elevation of Cholesterol

• Blood Sugar

• Liver

• Kidneys

• Vitamins

• Hormones

• Inflammation

The above assessment can determine risk, which would otherwise remain undetected.

Cardiovascular Health Assessment

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in Australia.

An executive health assessment provides the opportunity to assess:

• Health Risk Factors

• Blood Pressure

• Heart Rhythm

• Family History

• Circulation

Intervening in any one of these assessments may greatly reduce your risk of a future chronic cardiovascular disease.

Metabolic Health Assessment

Chronic disease will become increasingly complicated if poor metabolic health is uncorrected. The assessment of health risks associated with poor metabolism helps capture the issues of:

• Insulin Resistance

• Prediabetes

• Obesity

• Poor Metabolic Health

The above risks, if unaddressed, may result in the development of Type Two Diabetes.

Lifestyle Analysis

Several conditions can be associated with one’s lifestyle.

The analysis comprises evaluation of the following:

• Nutrition

• Physical activity

• Quality of sleep

• Alcohol consumption

• Smoking

• Stress levels

This analysis is aimed at designing and implementing lifestyle changes that are practical and can be sustained.
