Personalized Functional Lifestyle Medicine

Thorough root-cause analysis and evaluation

This is not your usual doctor's visit. We'll be going through your history all the way back to birth, in order to get a clear picture as to the root cause of your current symptoms. You'll then have an anthropometric exam, with special emphasis on finding any signs of nutritional deficiencies.

Bioimpedance Analysis

Part of your baseline anthropometrics includes state of the art bioimpedance analysis. Clients local to Annapolis, Maryland or those willing to travel get a professional body composition analysis at the start of their journey and throughout the coaching term. This is a powerful way to visualize change.

Laboratory analysis: biomarkers, hormones, and gut health

Laboratory analysis: biomarkers, hormones, and gut health

Your unique circumstances will determine what lab testing, if any, is right for you. This testing is often from the convenience of your own home. Dr. Parmele will review the results carefully with you and make appropriate treatment plans based on the results. This testing goes beyond what is typically recommended at a conventional doctor's office and is based on early detection and prevention of disease.

*Lab tests are an additional charge.

DNA analysis and Nutrigenomics

Ongoing coaching and close follow-up

Laboratory analysis: biomarkers, hormones, and gut health

Your genetics are uniquely your own. As a coaching client you will have the option to have your DNA data uploaded and analyzed through a specialized program that determines your trait variants and how they play a role in your nutritional metabolism, cardiovascular status, and even your ability to recover from exercise!

Personalized care plans

Ongoing coaching and close follow-up

Ongoing coaching and close follow-up

You will receive a unique, personalized diet, lifestyle, and exercise plan. Your test results may also indicate the need for supplementation of any deficiencies. You will be able to be prescribed any supplements that you need to be delivered right to your door.
