You already have the desire to better your health.  Now you'll need the right combination of nutrition, exercise, lifestyle modification, and a strong partnership with a health team that is fully committed to helping you reach your goals.

Your CHART day at Optimal Health represents only your first step towards your ultimate goal. Although you will leave at the end of your CHART day with a comprehensive plan and detailed instructions to give you a clear direction, you will still require regular follow-ups to be successful in charting a new course for your health.

• This arrangement funds research to help us and you stay current with constantly evolving trends in age management medicine, and to share some of our findings with our patients in our monthly newsletters.
• This membership fee also covers administrative and support activity costs in coordinating supplement or hormone orders. 
• Finally, we pride ourselves in being available and responsive to our patients' needs, while reassessing each person on a more formal basis every 6 months.  Typically, as patients improve and close in on their health goals, we are able to reduce the level of monitoring required.

There are three different membership levels. Your doctors will recommend and prescribe which level you will need, which will be based on several factors. These factors include what, if any, hormones you will be taking, your current exercise and nutrition/dietary habits, psychological issues (such as stress level), and your current overall medical condition. The three levels are:
