Take your health to another level

MANILA, Philippines - Each person is biochemically unique.  Though the breakthroughs, technologies, and practices in health have forged on by leaps and bounds, the “unique” component has always played a vital role, albeit mysterious at times, in the development of an effective health program. 

Most people believe in the value of taking supplements on a basic premise that our body is not supplied with the right amount of vitamins based on the food we eat, while some have engaged in various health regimens to keep health issues at bay.  But how does one know if what we are doing to keep the body healthy is right? Being bio-chemically unique, what works for one may not necessarily work for the other.

Imagine if medical practitioners are well-equipped with advanced knowledge and medical diagnostic tools to limit the guesswork to a minimum —maybe eliminate it altogether, health programs will have a higher level of effect, and treatments will have a better rate of success. With the right and precise knowledge of an individual’s health status, doctors can better care for their patients to get them to their health goal.

Fortunately, we are at a pivotal point in the Philippine medical scene where it is now possible to gather all the necessary data for an individual to have a customized preventive wellness program, and a simple visit to a preventive medical center is all it would take.

LifeScience Center for Wellness and Preventive Medicine, a pioneer in preventive care and customized health management in the country, puts forward a three-step program that can put  Filipinos on the right track to wellness and give them the opportunity take their health to another level of wellness. Through consultation, testing, and treatment, LifeScience is able to accurately identify the patient’s current state of wellness and design a customized preventive wellness program that will allow their patients to experience being healthy in another level and live in optimum health.

Each patient at the LifeScience Center for Wellness and Preventive Medicine is afforded more than enough time fully discuss their health goals and concerns with certified preventive medicine physicians, trained to profile a patient’s needs based on a series of questions.  Not your average run-of-the-mill consult, Physicians converse with patients in a setting that encourages share easily and openly, almost like a casual conversation within the confines of a cozy Consultation Room.

LifeScience is all about being evidence-based. The doctor’s initial assessment is validated through several laboratory tests to rid guesswork. The test determines the exact state of the patient’s health, validate the Physician’s prognosis or identify the root cause of the patient’s present health issue.

Knowing that our health is as unique as we all are, LifeScience physicians design a health regimen that is grounded on the information gathered from the tests that the center runs itself. The supplementation and treatments programs are unique to each patient to jumpstart the patient’s journey to better health, whether it’s to address a present health concern or towards a specific heath goal.

The nutraceuticals dispensed by the pharmacy are specially compounded based on the vitamin, nutrient, and antioxidant requirements a client might need as reflected by the Micronutrient and FIT Tests.

Other treatments offered by the center are as follows:

• Intravenous Therapy (IVT) is the efficient delivery of solutions or supplements direct to our veins.  IVT is offered when you need a boost in your system and ingesting supplements may not be as effective due to possible mal-absorption.

• Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy or HBOT helps promote blood circulation through the body through oxygenation.  It has restorative effects on muscle tears, superficial and internal wound, and cell regeneration.

• Kinesis program is for the body’s strengthening, improving balance, and enhancing flexibility in movement. LifeScience’ highly trained kinesiologists and physiotherapists create programs for the goals previously set with its sports physicians. Specifically designed to help correct postural problems, improve cognitive processes, develop coordination, and optimize kinetic chain, the Kinesis System caters not only to your exercise needs but all sports-specific requirements as well.

 “LifeScience takes gives Filipinos, who truly value their wellness, an opportunity to take their health to a new level. By simply being proactive about our health, we are already doing something to ensure our graceful aging. We want to impart to Filipinos that we can ultimately prevent age-related health issues so they can live life to the fullest, have a better chance of living their dreams, and enjoy the fruits of everything they worked hard for,” says Dr. Ben Valdecanas, medical director of LifeScience Center for Wellness and Preventive Medicine.
