Chronic Disease Management

Chronic disease management involves ongoing care and lifestyle adjustments to address the symptoms of long-term health conditions. Our aim is to keep symptoms in check and minimize the risk of complications associated with these health concerns.

Chronic health conditions are long-lasting diseases that often develop gradually and require consistent care and monitoring. These conditions can significantly impact your daily life, affecting your energy levels, overall wellness, and ability to enjoy everyday activities.

At Forever Young, we understand how challenging managing a chronic condition can be, and we are here to help. Our chronic disease management services focus on providing proactive, personalized care to manage these conditions while improving your quality of life and promoting overall health.

Chronic Disease Management at Forever Young

Managing chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol is a long-term process that requires commitment, regular monitoring, and personalized care.

At Forever Young, our approach to chronic disease management goes beyond just controlling symptoms. Our treatments help address the underlying causes of your health conditions and provide the tools to manage them effectively.

We combine our expertise in hormonal health and weight management to improve your overall physical health. Our team provides extended support in managing chronic diseases, helping you take proactive steps to maintain better overall health.

In addition to routine monitoring, medications, and lifestyle counseling, we also focus on the following key elements to help manage your chronic condition.

Hormonal Health

Hormonal imbalances can make managing chronic conditions even more challenging. For example, low thyroid levels can contribute to weight gain, which can worsen hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels.

Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone and estrogen, can also affect your metabolism, energy, and overall well-being. We assess and address these imbalances through personalized treatment plans.

Weight Management

Excess weight is a leading factor in the development and progression of chronic diseases. Whether it's high blood pressure, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, or unhealthy cholesterol, obesity is a high-risk factor for these conditions.

We offer personalized weight loss programs designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Lifestyle Support

Living with a chronic condition often means making long-term lifestyle changes. We provide personalized guidance and education for sustainable lifestyle changes. From healthy eating to staying active and managing stress, we work with you to make these changes a permanent part of your routine.

Common Chronic Health Conditions

Chronic health conditions can impact your overall well-being and require ongoing care to control symptoms. With a personalized approach, you can effectively improve your health and maintain a better quality of life.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension is a common cardiovascular condition in which the force of blood against the walls of your arteries remains consistently high. This puts strain on your blood vessels and heart, increasing the risk of severe complications, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.

Lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, and obesity, can lead to hypertension. In some cases, genetic factors, stress, and age can also be contributing factors. 

One of the biggest challenges with high blood pressure is that it often has no noticeable symptoms. Many people live with it without realizing it, only discovering the issue when more serious health problems, such as a heart attack or stroke, occur.

At Forever Young, we regularly monitor your blood pressure and offer personalized recommendations to help manage the condition. Our approach includes:

  • Routine monitoring: Regular blood pressure checks to monitor trends and detect any changes early.
  • Lifestyle modifications: Personalized recommendations for a heart-healthy diet, reducing salt, staying active, and managing stress.
  • Medication support: Prescribed medications to maintain optimal blood pressure levels.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body manages blood sugar (glucose). There are different types of diabetes, but all can result in persistently high blood sugar levels if not properly managed. High blood sugar can cause damage to organs and lead to complications like heart disease, kidney problems, and nerve damage.

Living with diabetes means paying close attention to your blood sugar levels, making healthy food choices, and staying active. Some common symptoms of diabetes include: 

  • Fatigue
  • Frequent urination
  • Blurred vision
  • Feeling very thirsty
  • Numbness or tingling feeling in hands or feet

At Forever Young, we make managing diabetes easier by providing personalized care that fits into your lifestyle. We help you monitor your blood sugar, guide you with healthy eating tips, and assist with managing any medications.

At Forever Young, we help you manage diabetes by providing personalized care that fits your lifestyle. Our team provides practical, patient-focused care, including:

  • Blood sugar monitoring: Regular lab work to evaluate your glucose levels and adjust your care plan as needed.
  • Dietary guidance: Meal planning tips to help keep your blood sugar stable and energy levels up throughout the day.
  • Medications: Prescribing oral medications and providing insulin injections to regulate your blood sugar levels effectively.

High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood that’s necessary for your body’s normal functions. However, too much low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol can cause plaque to build up in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke.

High cholesterol can happen for several reasons, including an unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle, excessive weight, or smoking. As you age, your risk of developing high cholesterol also increases.

The tricky thing about high cholesterol is that it does not usually show any symptoms, which is why regular testing is important. Having high cholesterol can impact your ability to enjoy regular physical activity or maintain energy levels. The longer it goes untreated, the greater the risk for long-term health complications.

At Forever Young, we focus on helping you manage your cholesterol with simple, effective strategies.

  • Routine lipid panel testing: Regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol levels.
  • Dietary recommendations: Advice on heart-healthy foods that can help lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol (HDL).
  • Medication management: If indicated, we can prescribe cholesterol-lowering medications and provide regular follow-ups to evaluate effectiveness.
