You can do a wardrobe makeover any day, but what if you just don’t feel beautiful? While it's great to want to improve ourselves, lasting change lies within our daily habits—things like eating right, exercising daily and getting quality sleep—all lay the foundation of a happy, healthy life. It sounds simple enough. Sometimes, though, we need a little help in getting back to the basics so we can live our most fulfilled lives.
That said, we don't have to wait until New Year's Day to become a better version of ourselves. We can start today. Like actress Jane Fonda says, “It’s never too late–never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.”
This especially rings true for those of us “at a certain age” who experience a fluctuation in hormones, which can lead to a decrease in energy, feelings of depression, osteoporosis and a multitude of other symptoms that can cause discomfort and health risks. It also rings true for people seeking professional assistance with losing weight (and subsequently, maintaining a healthy weight).
Precision Health & Wellness, a medical grade spa specializing in medical weight loss, hormone optimization and aesthetics, provides a variety of solutions that help men and women reach their weight loss goals, achieve hormonal balance and enhance natural beauty so they can live a happier, healthier, more vibrant life.
Founded in 2022 by Christine Salem, PhD, the med spa, new to Worthington, offers an array of services including GLP-1 medication and nutrition coaching, laser and medical grade skincare, IV hydration and more.
“We treat a lot of patients for medical weight loss, thyroid management, polycystic ovarian syndrome, pre-diabetes and hormone replacement for men and women,” Dr. Salem says. “We focus on overall wellness.”
Dr. Salem’s resume reflects her holistic approach to wellness. She is dual-board certified as a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, earning a Master’s degree from The Ohio State University and PhD from Mount Carmel College of Nursing. Wanting to help people feel like the best versions of themselves inside and out felt like her true calling. “The way I treat one patient is different from the way I treat another,” Dr. Salem says of her approach. “We use a lot of evidence-based approaches, but tailored to meet the individual.” Precision Health and Wellness doesn’t stop at helping patients feel better on the inside. They offer regenerative aesthetic treatments to enhance a patient’s individual beauty on the outside as well.
While Dr. Salem specializes in hormone replacement and medical weight loss, her partner, Anne Wood, advanced nurse practitioner and board-certified family nurse practitioner, focuses on aesthetics and weight loss therapy, passionate about helping individuals look and feel their best. If a flawless complexion is what you're after (and who isn't), Wood offers wrinkle relaxers and cutting-edge laser technology that will leave your skin glowing and gorgeous.
Though Precision Health and Wellness offers services to kickstart your journey to a brand new you, Dr. Salem also recommends adopting a healthy lifestyle to increase longevity including getting quality sleep, staying hydrated, incorporating regular exercise and following a healthy diet.
“If you want to live to be 100, the best thing you can do is strength train regularly, eat a lot of protein and get good, quality sleep of at least seven hours a night,” she advises.
