tailored to meet individual needs in
creating and maintaining "Optimal
Wellness":
- First we start with an
evaluation to determine your current
level of nervous system health with
Heart Rate Variability Analysis
using Health Express and Nerve
Express testing:
The Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Test is well researched and provides
a quick and easy assessment of
autonomic nervous system function.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS)
regulates the heart, breathing,
circulation, body temperature,
digestion, metabolism, and hormones,
among other vital functions.
The Heart Rate
Variability* (“HRV”) Test, was
originally developed as a screening
tool to enable scientists to
determine the health level and
degree of functioning of the
involuntary nervous system.
Thousands of the healthiest athletes
and others in superior health were
studied over a period of two decades
to identify the common denominators
of health. A computer program based
on this database of approximately
20,000 of the healthiest people was
developed for use in checking the
health status of the general public.
The test examines
the heart rhythms and its
variability*,
comparing resting to its response to
mild stress (changing positions from
lying down to standing up). The
ability of the heart to compensate
for and recover from this
“challenge” gives a “snapshot” of
the functioning of the involuntary
nervous system (also called the
“Autonomic Nervous System”). The
computer then generates a graphic
picture of this function which is
useful in assessing level of
physical health compared to optimal
health.
-
Next we determine your perceived
level of health using the Rand 36
Outcomes Assessment tool. As
part of the Medical Outcomes Study
(MOS) — a multi-year, multi-site
study to explain variations in
patient outcomes — RAND developed
the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey
(SF-36). SF-36 is a set of generic,
coherent, and easily administered
quality-of-life measures. These
measures rely upon patient
self-reporting and are now widely
utilized by managed care
organizations and by Medicare for
routine monitoring and assessment of
care outcomes in adult patients.
-
Measurements of Blood Pressure
and Pulse as well as Oxygen
Saturation and a Perfusion Index are
measured with a Tuffsat ; One of
the smallest handheld oximeters
available, GE healthcare's TUFFSAT
is ideal for spot-checking SpO2 and
Heart Rate. We use the information
to monitor the effectiveness of your
longevity wellness service's effect
on your nervous system and your
overall health.
*
Heart Rate
Variability: If your heart
regularly beats at 60 beats per
minute, averaging one beat per
second, some of the beats may be
shorter than a second and others
may be longer. This variation in
length of beats is called “heart
rate variability”.
As

of services to handle the myriad of
health goals our various practice
