So far, my experience with LifeMed has been stellar! I also have follow-up appointments, so I will update.
First of all, when you walk into the facility, you'll feel like you're walking into some magical place! The aesthetics are welcoming! Think bright, white, soft, and clean. It gives doctor's office, but in a good sense.
I came in today for the inBody Scan. Several of my work colleagues have had one done and spoke to the benefits. My partner also had one and when I saw her printed results I was curious. So, I'm here to get one myself.
It was pretty quick. You speak with a clinician/nurse to go over your medical background and discuss the reason you came to see them. That part could be short or long depending on YOU.
Next we went into another room for the actual scan. You wipe your feet and the palms of your hands before standing on the 'scanner'. It gave me bodyfat scale vibes. I have one at home and you stand on it barefoot to get your weight and body fat. Anyway, you're instructed on how to stand on the machine and..... Walah! It's done!
Your results are printed, explained, and discussed. Good info. It was much of what I had already expected, but I'm really here for the blood panel! My job give us (well, it's actually a requirement) an annual medical exam so I know a lot of my history, but I'll admit, these metrics are a bit deeper. You can also scan a QR code on the results page to get more detailed information. I haven't done that yet, but will!
Next, they have an on-site lab (Quest Diagnostics) to draw blood. THIS is what I'm interested in. They'll do a full panel. And when I say FULL-PANEL, I'm talking 100 vials of blood panel. HA! Not really, but that's what it felt like. So make sure you're hydrated before your appointment or they wont be able to draw the amount of blood they need. But yeah, it'll be more vials than your average blood draw. Don't panic though, you'll be fine.
And that was it. I'M SO EXCITED for my follow-up appointment to go over the results of my blood draw.
Oh, and I left with goodies! They gave me T-shirts. And these are GOOD T-shirts. I wore one later that day. It's that soft material that I like in my shirts. Very good marketing. Oh, and chapstick! ROFLMAO. I took several because I'm a chapstick hoarder.
Anywho, they have tons of services and I see myself sampling several of the options they offer. Check it out. read more
