Optimal Health Philosophy

Living longer is not the same as living healthy. At Nova, we shift the focus of medicine from a reactive, illness-based practice to proactive, preventative healthcare. Through an integrative team approach to wellness, patients have access to unique tests, services, and specialists to help with lifestyle changes and to optimize each individual's health. Onsite integrative specialists include a registered dietitian, a naturopathic physician, acupuncturists, personal trainers, and a cognitive behavioral therapist. In addition to prescription drugs, custom compounded prescriptions including bio-identical hormones, vitamins, and supplements are also prescribed as deemed most appropriate.

We also understand that 80 percent of medical illnesses are related to stress. In response, we create 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 healthcare and optimizing each patient's health.
