Article Body: A new generation of medical testing may provide the most comprehensive view of what is happening in your body now, as well as a valuable baseline for you and your physician to monitor changes and trends in your blood chemistry over time.

Modern medicine enables the effective treatment of countless diseases and medical problems, especially if caught early. That's why an annual medical assessment is so important. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of diseases and conditions not typically tested for in a routine physical exam.

Biophysical may be the answer. The single most comprehensive health assessment available, it measures different biomarkers (chemicals in the blood) that may indicate the presence of diseases and conditions often before symptoms appear.

Unlike standard physicals that measure only up to biomarkers, Biophysical simultaneously assesses hundreds of biomarkers used by different medical specialties. What otherwise would cost $, and require dangerously large quantities of blood costs only $, and requires only two tablespoons of blood. And the value is immeasurable. No other test can tell you so much about your health.

"The Biophysical health assessment has the potential to identify a presymptomatic disease, which could move an individual into a diagnostic track and literally prevent the disease from developing by initiating treatment early on when there's a greater chance for a positive outcome," explains Norman H. Chenven, M.D., founder and executive vice president, Austin Regional Clinic.

Biophysical surveys biomarkers (proteins and chemicals) in your blood that could indicate many conditions and diseases (even presymptomatic) including:

Cardiovascular disease;

Cancer;

Metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome;

Autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and lupus;

Viral and bacterial diseases;

Hormonal imbalance; and

Nutritional status, such as vitamin or protein deficiencies.

In June , Scientific American wrote, "The good news is that the sooner specific diseases and medical conditions are detected, the sooner-and more effectively-they can be treated. Biophysical gives you information to help make decisions that can impact your health and change your life."
