Health Optimization and Prevention Assessment
For people that want to identify their health risks and optimize their overall health, Palms Medical provides a specialized assessment. Why settle for just good enough health when there is the opportunity to perform and feel your best?
Palms Medical provides a better insight to your health status, allowing improved preventive practices and health optimization strategies. We take a deep dive into lipids, inflammation, cardiometabolic, hormones, and genetics. A yearly physical at a traditional clinic will typically include basic labs and maybe an EKG. Patients would be lucky to get a vit d level. Unfortunately, patients are provided a false sense of health with traditional types of exams. The main preventive practice for heart attacks is a 3-part basic lipid panel. This test is out dated as it simple does not tell the true story of risk, as 50% of people that experience a heart attack have a normal cholesterol level. There is more to health risk stratification than just lipids levels, which is why in addition to a 20-element lipid panel we focus on inflammation and cardiometabolic factors.
Our approach allows a better gauge of current health status and risk of developing certain conditions such as Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, Cancers, Heart Arrhythmia's, Parkinson's, Autoimmune disorders, and Autoinflammation disorders.

We perform testing that offers a better insight to your health status, allowing improved preventive practices and health optimization strategies. When a disorder is present, we believe in finding the root cause rather than pushing medications that only hide the symptoms. Patients are treated as a whole person rather than individual aliments.
We do not bill insurance for services or take co-pays, this allows health decisions to be made without the restrictions and impersonal nature that comes with third party payers. If you wish, we can still bill your insurance for things such as lab work. However, we have contracted with lab companies to offer reduced pricing. Additionally, traditional clinics need patients to physically go to the clinic to generate revenue to bill insurance companies. If it is something that can be handled over a phone call or video chat we won’t waste your time by forcing you to come in.
We care for a wide number of conditions: Heart disease, cardiometabolic issues, hypertension, COPD, asthma, autoimmunity, diabetes, mood disorders, mental fog, leaky gut, GI disorders, crohn’s, diverticulitis, fibrbromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, lymes, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, autoinflammation, MS, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, hypo-testosterone, cortisol issues, migraines, cerumen impaction, and urgent care issues.

Functional Medicine is a personalized science-based model of medicine that focuses on the root cause of disease. Through an in-depth history and exam we will create a personalized approach to determine the root cause of issues rather than simply providing medications that only treat the symptoms. While medications can be used, we will focus treatment strategies around lifestyle and integrative techniques. Too often patients are miss diagnosed and provided medication that overtime make their condition worse or create other conditions. Our goal is to work as a provider-patient team to go back when you felt good, determine what changed, and how to get you back to feeling your best.
