Healthspan Assessment
Your journey starts with an initial appointment where your baseline health is established, and your goals and priorities are discussed. You’ll spend time with our experienced nurse for baseline observations and ECG (Electrocardiography). Following this, you’ll have a detailed consultation with Dr Melville who will conduct a physical examination, discuss your expectations, and develop a management plan personalised to your needs. This is followed by two more appointments, at approximately four and twelve weeks, where we put in place your personalised management plan and monitor your progress.

Biomarkers & Imaging
As part of your assessment, you will have baseline blood tests and scans (Including CT Calcium scoring and DEXA body and bone scans). All blood tests are covered by Medicare except for LPa (Lipoprotein(a)). CT Calcium scoring reveals any signs of calcification in your coronary arteries. DEXA scans are used to measure body composition and bone density. They are used to assess the amount of fat, muscle, and bone in the body. They are non-invasive and provide detailed information about the body’s composition, which can assist in creating personalized health plans. We can also organise continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) if indicated. For Biomarker and imaging pricing click here.
VO2 Max & Strength Testing
VO2 max and strength testing will be carried out by the expert team of exercise physiologists at Achieve Exercise Physiology. VO2 max testing is an important tool for checking how fit you are and how well your body uses oxygen during exercise. In short, it helps you understand how efficient your heart and lungs are. Strength testing evaluates muscle strength by measuring the amount of force muscles can generate. It also identifies any potential imbalances in strength distribution. By testing your strength and VO2 max, we can create personalized exercise programs and track your progress over time. For VO2 max and strength testing pricing click here.

Microbiome (Optional)
Microbiome testing can be optionally conducted to further investigate your’ health. These results will be put into a report, interpreted and necessary measures will be put in place. The human microbiome, comprising trillions of microorganisms residing in our bodies, plays a crucial role in health and disease. Evidence highlights its importance in digesting food, regulating the immune system, and protecting against harmful bacteria. Disruptions in the microbiome balance can lead to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, and diabetes. By checking your microbiome, we can gain insights into your health status, predisposition to certain diseases, and the effectiveness of personalized treatment plans, offering a potential for targeted interventions and improved health outcomes.
