Mid-Summer Check-Ups: Preventive Care to Keep You Thriving

As the sun reaches its zenith, it’s easy to slip into a relaxed summer rhythm—and forget about routine health maintenance. Yet mid-year wellness exams are a powerful way to catch concerns early, adjust care plans, and keep your vitality in full swing. At Reno Integrative, our summer check-ups blend comprehensive primary-care screenings with integrative insights—so you can enjoy the season with confidence.

    • Why a Summer Exam Matters

      • Seasonal Lifestyle Shifts: Warmer weather often means changes in activity, diet, and stress levels. A check-in ensures these shifts support, rather than undermine, your health goals.
      • Early Detection Pays Off: Annual physicals and targeted screenings spot subtle changes—blood pressure rises, cholesterol trends, blood-sugar fluctuations—before they become serious.
      • Customized Care Adjustments: Whether you’ve picked up a new workout habit, changed your diet, or need to fine-tune medications, a mid-year exam helps keep your plan on track.

What’s Included in Our Summer Wellness Exam

  1. Comprehensive Review
    – Head-to-toe physical assessment: heart, lungs, neurological reflexes, and musculoskeletal health.
    – In-office vitals and functional movement screens for active lifestyles.
  2. Targeted Lab Work
    – Lipid panel, A1C or glucose checks, thyroid and hormone panels, and nutrient markers.
    – Interpretation of results with personalized recommendations for diet, supplements, or treatment adjustments.
  3. Chronic Condition Support
    Blood Pressure & Cholesterol: Medication reviews, lifestyle coaching, and home-monitoring strategies.
    Blood Sugar Balance: Personalized dietary guidance and regular monitoring to maintain stable glucose.
    Thyroid & Hormone Optimization: Lab-driven protocols to address energy, weight, and mood.
    Weight Management: Integrative plans combining prescription support, nutrition counseling, and habit coaching.
    IV Wellness & Detox: Refreshing infusions and detox drips to boost hydration, recovery, and metabolic health.

Non-Toxic Cancer Therapy
& Early Detection

Preventive screenings remain a cornerstone of cancer survival. During your exam, we’ll review recommendations for:

  • Skin Checks: Monthly self-exams using the ABCDE method (Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving).
  • Breast & Colon Screenings: Age- and risk-appropriate referrals for mammograms or colonoscopies.

For patients seeking complementary support, our non-toxic cancer therapies—from mistletoe extract injections to immune-boosting IV nutrition—can be integrated seamlessly to strengthen defenses and enhance quality of life.

Introducing the Galleri Test

Now, you can screen for multiple cancers with a single blood test

We are thrilled to share that our clinic provides the Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test. We can collect the test in office or patients can go to Quest Labs for the draw.

Only 5 recommended cancer screening tests exist today — lung (for those at risk), colorectal, breast, prostate, and cervical. Galleri is a multi-cancer early detection test, a blood test that can screen for many of the deadliest cancers before they become symptomatic, including those with no recommended screening tests today.

Before your next visit, take a moment to learn more about the Galleri test by watching this video: What is the Galleri Test?

Most health insurance plans do not cover the Galleri test. Our clinic price is $749 (0% interest plans as low at $62/month for 12 months), and you may be able to use your flexible spending account (FSA) or health savings account (HSA) to cover the cost of the test.

Let us know at your upcoming visit if you would like to take the Galleri test or have further questions.
