Assessments & Consultations

Essential Health Assessment (Preventative)

The Essential Health Assessment (EHA) is for those interested in receiving a comprehensive look at their current health and a full health and longevity optimization plan. A typical EHA includes:

• Full health history
• Biometrics
• A functional exam
• A physical exam
• Extensive lab testing
• Three total hours of appointment time with a medical provider trained in functional medicine
• A fully personalized report and health plan

The EHA is a requirement prior to joining Essential Primary Care, but may be enjoyed by anyone, as it is an excellent adjunct to consultations alongside our other wellness programs. Note: The EHA is only available at Essential Health locations that offer Essential Primary Care.

Adult Functional Essential Health Assessment

For adult clients who may need a deeper dive into their health but are not in need of preventative cardiac and vascular screenings may opt to complete a Functional Essential Health Assessment in lieu of the standard EHA. This assessment may be completed initially or annually, with or without enrollment in primary care. This assessment includes:

• Full health history
• Biometrics
• A physical exam
• Blood testing for gut permeability and food sensitivity
• Advanced screening questionnaires
• Advanced diagnostic testing
• Cognitive testing
• Mold screening
• Three total hours of appointment time with a medical provider trained in functional medicine

Essential Brain Optimization Assessment

The Essential Brain Optimization Assessment is an advanced assessment for those who may be concerned about cognitive decline, including memory loss, forgetting names/events, decreased feeling of mental “sharpness,” and spatial disorientation. This assessment expands on our standard EHA with additional testing specific to cognitive health. The Essential Brain Optimization Assessment includes everything in our complete Preventative EHA, plus:

• Advanced screening questionnaires specific to cognitive health
• Multiple specialty lab tests including advanced nutrient and exposure panels
• Comprehensive cognitive testing
• Over 4 hours of provider time
• A specialized report specific to your cognitive care plan

Clients who choose to participate in the Essential Brain Optimization Assessment are recommended to transition into Essential Primary Care upon completion. Clients who are already enrolled in Essential Primary Care may opt to upgrade their annual EHA to a Brain EHA.

Pediatric Essential Health Assessments

Childhood & Teen Essential Health Assessments

A Pediatric Essential Health Assessment (EHA) is designed for patients ages 6-20 who may need a “deeper dive” into their health than a standard well-child check. This assessment can be beneficial for a child or teen struggling with attention, hyperactivity, malabsorption, gastrointestinal distress, inflammation, skin issues (rashes, acne), hormonal concerns such as menstruation concerns, possible environmental toxin exposure, mental health, or general wellness.

All Pediatric EHAs include thorough and continued care during and after an assessment with personalized attention from our highly trained medical providers who specialize in pediatric care and family medicine. This assessment may be completed one time, annually, with or without an Essential Primary Care subscription.

Functional Medicine Consultation

A Functional Medicine Consultation is for those seeking an alternative or additional opinion regarding their current medical care or medical condition. During your visit, your provider will dive deep into your medical history, current complaints or issues, and health objectives. Your provider will then offer medical advice with a focus on addressing the underlying causes of your concerns. Functional Medicine Consultations are a convenient way for clients with a specific medical concern who do not wish to participate in Essential Primary Care to benefit from the vast knowledge and experience of our providers.

Essential Wellness Consultation

An Essential Wellness Consultation is for those who are interested in a deeper dive into their current state of wellness, and/or are interested in joining one of our wellness programs (Essential Weight Management, Essential Hormone Balance, IV Nutrition Therapy). It provides the perfect blend of detailed lab testing and functional medicine expertise. The Essential Wellness Consultation is also a great adjunct to your current primary care outside of Essential Health and may be repeated on an annual basis.

A typical Essential Wellness Consultation includes:

• 90-minutes of care with a Functional Medicine Provider
• Advanced body composition analysis and vital signs
• Extensive lab testing, including blood and micronutrient counts, sex hormones, inflammatory markets, thyroid panel, and more.
• A fully personalized report and health plan
