The benefits of lifestyle changes
Our client, a Managing Director in his late fifties, attended his first Preventicum assessment in 2022. He was identified as having high levels of visceral fat, a fatty liver and severe thickening of his heart muscle (related to years of high blood pressure and elevated body fat). Our client discussed the importance of these findings with his Preventicum Doctor who made recommendations to reduce his risk of earlier-onset cancer, heart attack and stroke. Following his assessment, our client changed his diet and lifestyle and took a significant decision with a specialist to have gastric sleeve surgery.
At his next assessment in 2023, our client’s body composition analysis showed markedly reduced visceral fat levels and a 10% decrease in his percentage body fat. Our Consultant Cardiac Radiologist noted significant improvements to his heart muscle and function when compared to his previous cardiac MRI scans and his LiverMultiScan showed improvements and were within normal limits.
Our client continues to enjoy his improved healthier lifestyle, no longer needs to take blood pressure medication and is following our recommendations to start an exercise routine to see increased positive changes in his cardiac physiology. We look forward to welcoming him back to Preventicum in 2024.
