Four Steps to Your Personal Wellness Profile:

 

Read an overview of the wellness approach:  Wellness Step-by-Step (PDF).      Look at an example (PDF) of what your Profile will look like.
 

If you want a physical examination, print and fill out the Pre-visit questionnaire(PDF) and the Medical Examination Report
and take these to your doctor.
 

 

 

Step One - Select your Profile:

       Review the various Profiles, select one and pay for it.

 

Step Two - Order your Blood Tests:

       Have a look at the Laboratory tests for your Profile – you can read explanatory notes on each one, if you like.

Print the Laboratory Order Form  and take it to the Laboratory you selected from the list.

 

Alternatively, if you have already done the following lab tests, enter the results on-line here:  Laboratory Test Results
(Blood Pressure, Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, Fasting Blood Glucose, PSA, Faecal Occult Blood - at least the first two are required)

 

Step Three - Complete the On-line Questionnaire:

       Complete the on-line Lifestyle Evaluation Questionnaire  Part 1  Part 2 and Part 3
       (Alternatively, you can print a copy (PDF), fill it out and mail it or bring it in.)

 

Step Four - Do your Home Fitness Assessment:  (Optional, but strongly recommended)

       Print and follow the Instructions for your Fitness Assessment; enter the results on-line and submit.
      

 

Your Personal Wellness Profile will arrive in the mail within two weeks.

 

This is YOUR report; a  close look at your personal health in several dimensions. Unlike a medical report, it is not about what is wrong with you, but about what you have to DO
in order to enjoy higher standards of health and well-being. It is a guide and a reference that you will want to return to for many years to come.

 

Specific targets may have been set for the next few months. Like all the figures in your report, these should be interpreted as a guide. Adjust them if necessary to give yourself a realistic
chance of achieving your objectives.

 

Your Personal Wellness Profile is written in language you can easily understand, and it will be very clear what you have to do in order to achieve your wellness goals.
However, you may still wish to make an appointment to discuss your profile with the doctor.

Progress Report
After 3 to 6 months, you should repeat your Personal Wellness Profile. A Progress Report can then
be prepared (sample(PDF)) indicating those areas in which you have improved, and those in which further effort is needed.

 

The Wellness Community
If you have not already done so, you are invited to join the Wellness Community, and to become a member of the network of Clients of the Wellness Centre. Among the many features
of this network are Personal Pages with your private or public blogs. You may wish to enter the information on your Medical Examination Report in a private blog which you can
maintain as your confidential, but readily accessible, Personal Health Record.

The Wellness Community will open up many new opportunities for you to be proactive about your health; to share your ideas and experiences, to find information and get support
in dealing with your particular health challenges. You can even set up your own group of friends to work together on your mutual goals and interests.
