The WholePerson Examination™:
For those who want the best life has to offer
What to expect
You walk down the usual hallway, step through the usual door, and suddenly you realize you’re not in the usual medical suite. It isn’t just the absence of the usual white walls, metal-trimmed chairs and cold climate. It’s the presence of warm and pleasant décor, a super-efficient and caring staff, and a multidisciplinary team of world class Scripps specialists ready to get right down to business. None of the usual waiting… everything’s ready on a precise agenda that respects the value of your time.
You meet with your lead Executive Health physician--an internal medicine specialist or family practitioner--for a detailed interview and examination. You’ll be examined by physician specialists in gastroenterology, dermatology, radiology and, if indicated, cardiology.No delays between tests or traipsing through halls clutching a paper gown to keep it closed. And you’re done with all of these medical procedures in hours, not weeks or months:
Results from the tests that yield real-time data are now known by not only the medical team, but also by the lifestyle specialists who are all set to complete your WholePerson Examination. Here you meet for 45 minutes each with a clinical psychologist, an exercise physiologist, a registered dietician and a mind/body health specialist.
Unlike the usual lifestyle consulting approach, each Executive Health lifestyle specialist works from the test data just gathered and from evidence-based research as the foundation for any recommended lifestyle alterations. In addition to the early medical test results, they have information that you will have previously provided in several self-tests with our scientifically-derived Scripps Center for Executive Health Lifestyle Evaluation Instruments(TM). This information gives us an understanding of such health-influencing factors as your diet, exercise, temperament, coping skills, management style, stress tolerance, and propensity for anxiety and depression. Thus, the “WholePerson” approach, as no health assessment is complete without such information.
You come away with a lifestyle and performance enhancement plan that includes:
- Your Exercise Prescription - updating your current program or designing a new one that incorporates the right amount of cardiopulmonary (aerobic), muscular strength and endurance, and function fitness exercises such as flexibility, core stability and range of motion
- Your Nutrition Plan - what you need to know about weight management, diabetes, cancer and heart disease prevention, eating on the go, making healthy choices at fine dining establishments, low-fat eating, diet fads, nutritional supplements, and what to look for on nutritional labeling
- Your Stress Mastery Plan - identifying your stressors and personality type, the deleterious and dangerous effects of stress on your health and well being, and what you can do about it
- Mind/Body Techniques - how to quiet the mind, calm the emotions and relax the body through breathing, guided imagery, self-monitoring, meditation and other evidence-based techniques
And an invigorating massage to send you home feeling wonderful.
