Does Preventive Medicine Save Lives?

“Prevention is better than cure.” ~ Desiderius Erasmus

There has been a massive increase in interest among individuals and families in preventive medicine over the last decade.

Rather than waiting to be sick to see a Doctor, people are beginning to seek out tools and habits for improving their health before the onset of illness.

The question at hand is, can preventive medicine go so far as saving a life?

Here are 3 Ways Preventive Medicine Can Save Lives

1. Health Optimization over Disease Detection

In preventive medicine, a holistic, client-centered approach is taken into the testing process.

Typically, a wide array of tests are selected between the doctor and client to determine the most effective for understanding health and budget.

Through preventive testing, you can discover the unique aspects of your health profile and begin a treatment or lifestyle plan tailored to your individual needs.

Think of this as the opposite of a “cookie-cutter” approach to medicine.

After testing, a lifestyle plan is provided to guide you in optimal health and wellness. These steps are often directly related to your unique needs based on your health profile.

The goal of the lifestyle plan is to make minor adjustments in your daily habits and routines to promote your best possible health.

This knowledge of your health can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing a chronic illness or disease in the long term.

2. Comprehensive Testing over Incremental Testing

In a preventive approach to medicine, testing is done based on your budget and desire to gain knowledge of your health - it’s done comprehensively to see the big picture.

With this information, you gain a more robust understanding of the root cause behind the symptom (i.e., sleep issues, chronic fatigue, pain, bowel issues, etc.).

In this process, you can work with your doctor and health coach to find the subtle lifestyle adjustments that will make the most significant difference in your long-term health.

3. Process-Driven over Event-Driven

In traditional medicine, a specific event must first occur before treatment.

Whether it’s an acute injury, accident, incident, or developing illness, the event comes first, then treatment.

In preventive medicine, it’s just the opposite.

The idea with preventive medicine is to prevent the event from ever occurring or significantly reducing the severity or long-term implications.

In this process, you begin with comprehensive testing, gain access to your results then, with a vastly improved understanding of your unique health profile, begin to implement new habits alongside your health and wellness coach.

The process promotes long-term health.

A Word From Our Founder, Steve Adams

Hey there! I'm Steve

I spent 20 years in high-pressure corporate banking, constantly traveling and neglecting my health. By 50, I was sleep-deprived, getting only 2-3 hours of sleep despite lying in bed for six hours. I suffered from acid reflux, IBS, cramping, constipation, anxiety, fatigue, and brain fog, affecting my performance and relationships.

Then I found a Functional Medicine Doctor

He conducted extensive testing on genetics, gut biome health, and hormones. He discovered several issues and created a personalized medical plan and coached me for a year on lifestyle changes. The results were transformative!

Today, I feel like a new person. I can engage in high-intensity interval training, weight lifting, and running without any symptoms. Inspired by this journey, I founded Tiger Medical Institute to help others achieve similar health transformations - to help you live healthier, better life!
