Health & Wellness Program (Full Body Checkup)

Comprehensive health and wellness assessment program including extended physician intake, full functional medicine laboratory evaluation, nutritional and lifestyle analysis, and a personalized protocol for longevity and optimized health. Age-specific programs available (Health in Your 30s, 40s) addressing the distinct hormonal, metabolic, and preventive priorities at each life stage. Physician-directed, cash-pay, self-investment approach at Patients Medical's Fifth Avenue clinic.

Patients Medical's Health and Wellness Program represents the clinic's flagship longevity-oriented assessment offering, designed for individuals seeking a comprehensive functional medicine baseline and individualized protocol rather than a single-treatment appointment. The program begins with an extended physician intake — significantly longer than a conventional primary care visit — during which Dr. Gulati or a team physician conducts a detailed medical history, reviews prior records, family history, symptom inventory, lifestyle analysis, and functional systems review covering energy, sleep, digestion, hormonal balance, cognitive function, cardiovascular risk, and toxic load. Following the intake consultation, the physician orders a customized functional medicine laboratory panel from the in-house lab, typically encompassing the complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid profile, thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3), hormone evaluation (sex hormones, DHEA, cortisol), vitamin and mineral status (D, B12, folate, magnesium, zinc), inflammatory markers (hs-CRP, homocysteine, ferritin), metabolic risk markers (fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c), and specialty testing selected based on the patient's history and concerns. A follow-up results consultation reviews all findings with physician interpretation using functional reference ranges — meaning the physician considers what level of each marker is associated with optimal health function, not merely the laboratory's disease-diagnostic cutoffs. From this comprehensive assessment, a personalized protocol is developed that may include IV nutritional therapy, targeted supplementation, dietary and lifestyle modifications, hormone balancing, detoxification protocols, and referral to specialist practitioners as appropriate. Age-specific variants of the program — Health in Your 30s and Health in Your 40s — recognize that the dominant health optimization priorities differ substantially across decades and tailor the assessment and protocol emphasis accordingly.
