Lab results, body composition, sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and medical history can each reveal something different about your health. Our Comprehensive Health Partnership brings those pieces into a structured physician-led program at Howard Health & Wellness in Naples, FL. Dr. Corey Howard combines his background in internal medicine, functional medicine, and metabolic nutrition when reviewing your findings and deciding what deserves attention.
What Is the Comprehensive Health Partnership?
The Comprehensive Health Partnership is a membership program for people who want a detailed assessment of their current health and a consistent way to track changes over time.
It serves a different purpose from our concierge medicine model. Concierge medicine primarily defines how you access Dr. Howard and communicate with our office. The Comprehensive Health Partnership places greater emphasis on testing, measurements, lifestyle habits, health priorities, and planned follow-up.
Your initial evaluation includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, medication and supplement review, and discussion of your concerns and goals.
Depending on your needs, assessment may include:
- Comprehensive blood work
- Hormone and metabolic markers
- Cardiovascular assessment
- SECA body composition measurements
- Review of nutrition, fitness, sleep, and stress
How Does Dr. Howard Use Your Results?
Collecting data is only useful when you know what to do with it. Dr. Howard reviews your findings with you and identifies which areas warrant attention, which should be monitored, and where changes may be appropriate.
Recommendations may involve nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, hormone health, weight, body composition, medications, or another medical concern uncovered during the evaluation.
If you already have extensive testing from another clinician, our lab review and comprehensive consultations service is another way to have results reviewed with your history and symptoms in mind.
How Is Progress Followed?
The program includes regular check-ins rather than treating the initial assessment as a one-time snapshot. Repeat measurements or laboratory testing may be used when appropriate to see how your health is changing.
SECA measurements can track body weight, muscle mass, body fat, and hydration. These numbers can be particularly useful when changes in body composition are more meaningful than changes on the scale alone.
Patients working on metabolic concerns may also incorporate medical weight management into their care when appropriate.
Why Choose Dr. Corey Howard for Comprehensive Health Planning in Naples?
Dr. Howard has nearly three decades of experience caring for adults and has held leadership roles including Past President of the Florida Medical Association and Past Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at NCH.
His experience in conventional internal medicine is complemented by training in functional medicine and metabolic nutrition. This allows conversations to include medical risk factors as well as nutrition, physical activity, sleep, body composition, and hormone health when those areas are relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Is This Different From an Annual Physical?
An annual physical usually centers on routine preventive care. The Comprehensive Health Partnership includes more detailed testing, body composition measurements, health planning, and continued review throughout the year.
What Does the SECA Assessment Measure?
SECA testing can measure body weight, muscle mass, body fat percentage, and hydration, giving us information that a standard scale cannot show.
How Often Will My Progress Be Reviewed?
The current program includes quarterly check-ins, with additional follow-up and repeat measurements based on what is being monitored.
Can Hormone Concerns Be Part of the Program?
Yes. When hormone symptoms or laboratory findings are relevant, they can be considered along with your other health information.
Can Weight Management Be Included?
Yes. Nutrition, physical activity, metabolic health, and medical weight-management options can be incorporated when weight is one of your health concerns.
