Living longer is not the same as living healthy. Nova shifts the focus of medicine from a reactive illness based practice to proactive, preventative healthcare. Through a team approach to wellness patients have access to tests, services and specialists including, a registered dietician, a naturopathic physician, acupuncturists, personal trainers and a cognitive behavioral therapist, along with ongoing follow up to assist in lifestyle changes that will help them optimize their health. In addition to prescription drugs, custom compounded prescriptions including bio-identical hormone therapy, vitamins and supplements are prescribed as deemed most appropriate.
Eighty percent of medical illnesses are related to stress, Nova understand this and creates individual solutions through extensive medical, nutritional, fitness and stress impact evaluations. With expanded laboratory testing available to aid in identifying those at increased risk of age related diseases and conditions we are able to help prevent the onset of such conditions as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and osteoporosis.
Flexibility, balance, body fat composition, metabolic rate, cardio respiratory endurance, muscular strength and endurance all factor into the equation of optimizing your health. The addition of The Medical Spa at Nova, with a body movement room, gives patients access to certified personal trainers that are able to craft individualized exercise programs, prescribing a balanced approach to health and fitness within Nova. The overall philosophy being self care is an important part of health care and optimizing each patient’s health.
