Preventive Health
|
At Robledo Medical & Wellness Center we have state-of-the-art technology and advanced holistic healthcare practitioners on staff that enables us to assess your risk for diabetes, heart attack and stroke.
The arteries in your arms, legs and abdomen can be easily and painlessly evaluated in our office to provide us immediate information about plaque, inflammation and atherosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries." Your blood also gives us invaluable clues about your internal health. We offer a complete examination of your blood, including an evaluation of your thyroid, kidneys, liver, blood sugar, and cardiovascular inflammation (cardio-crp and advanced lipid testing). Depending on your symptoms, we may evaluate you for inflammatory joint disease and vitamin D deficiency, both of which can also lead to higher cardiovascular risk.

We also offer testing such as advanced lipid profiling (NMR, a test which gives the number and size of your lipid particles), risk score for diabetes (PreDx Test) and heart disease (lipid ratios, Lipoprotein a), stroke (CIMT, looking for plaque in the thin carotid artery membrane) and peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
We believe that the first step in treating a symptom or disease is through behavioral or lifestyle change. Nutrition has a huge impact on disease, and further, what we eat determines how we feel on a daily basis. We have seen profound improvements in our patients who have chosen to implement therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) into their lives. Dr. Elizabeth Young is a board certified Clinical Pharmacist, Fitness Therapist and wellness coach who can help you build skills to take control of your medications and provide tools that can help you on your journey to weight management and fitness.
