The 5 Pillars:
Pillar One | Pillar

Five
The program is comprised of five areas of health assessment
and evaluation, each focusing on a facet of personal health.
Pillar One
is a comprehensive physical examination,
an evaluation that can reveal the earliest symptoms of disease,
or detect conditions such as high cholesterol or hypertension that
can lead to serious illness. The physical examination is a snapshot
of where you are health wise, so that RHE specialists can begin
setting your course in the direction you need to go. It includes
blood analysis and other laboratory work, in order to establish
a complete health history. All examinations employ protocols developed
by Dr. Rippe, as components in a total Rippe Health Evaluation.

Pillar Two
is a nutritional evaluation. This consult is conducted by
a registered dietitian. It examines your diet, how you fuel your
body, and the extent to which you energize it or deny it essential
vitamins and minerals that should be sustaining you. Your dietary
habits are assessed, then recommendations are made for you to achieve
optimum nutritional balance.

Pillar Three
focuses on physical activity and exercise.
This Pillar recognizes that physical activity and exercise are absolutely
essential to retain the strength, energy level and health of your
body. RHE Exercise Physiologists can provide an in-depth evaluation
of your current exercise and physical activity, then structure a
personalized program tailored to your needs, interests and current
fitness level.

Pillar Four
encompasses areas of personal vitality, in recognition
that physical health is influenced by the conditions of heart, mind
and spirit. Your RHE doctor will provide analysis and counseling
that will enable you to deal more effectively with any personal
issues you may have, and move toward achieving your optimum vitality.

Pillar Five
is a pharmaceutical evaluation.
Quite often, interactions of medications, supplements, vitamins
and minerals counteract one another. Our doctors of pharmacy provide
a personal pharmaceutical evaluation to ensure you maintain the
most beneficial medical and supplemental regimen possible.
