Cutting Edge Wellness

A Path to Your Best Quality of Life

Quality of Life = Wellness.  And considering the last couple years, now more than ever, people seem to be reassessing and reinvigorating their wellness regimes.   While we all know we could probably use a little more sleep, fruits and vegetables, vitamin D, and exercise; many have a desire to level up even more and dabble in cutting edge programs that are now becoming more mainstream and accessible.  The very definition of cutting edge is somethingthat is the latest, greatest, and newest, and we reached out to PRO Club to share some of the cutting-edge services they offer, and why they choose to offer them in the first place. 

PRO Club is owned by a renowned cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Mark Dedomenico who invented the coronary bypass surgery and founded the Hope Heart Institute, which is now operating inside PRO Club/Medical.   He has chosen to cure cardiovascular disease by treating obesity which cures metabolic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 Diabetes, 80% of the time without medications through the 20/20 LifeStyles weight management program.  From this, many of PRO Club’s medical/wellness services were further developed. 

The medical background and vision of Dr. Mark Dedomenico guides the development of PRO’s programs.  His expertise in hyperbarics, stem cells, bioidentical hormones, cardiovascular surgery innovations, genetics, and weight loss are infused throughout the development of PRO’s treatments and programs. 

In addition, PRO continually seeks the latest medical research to stay ahead of what science is delivering. “We pride ourselves on being an industry leader rather than a follower.  Our experts keep current with medical literature, scientific advancements, general health trends, and hiring medical experts such as endocrinologists and geneticists to consult with us on the development of our programs.  We owe our members the best quality of life we can give them.  Plus, our wellness services offered by PRO Medical are open to the public,” says Dr. Dedomenico.  

PRO Clubs top 3 cutting edge services include:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy:  Expedites healing for post-surgery, stroke recovery, and anti-aging by promoting angiogenesis.    Athletes use this for concussion and injury recovery. 

Hormone Optimization Therapy with bioidentical hormones:  Age Management service that allows people to age optimally rather than accept normal aging and its negative symptoms.    The aging population has a desire to feel and look younger, gain more energy, increase confidence, eliminate menopausal symptoms, and improve mental clarity. 

Genetic testing: We can understand from an individual’s genetic blueprint how they metabolize certain foods, how they recover from injuries, how their body is designed to exercise best (strength, endurance, speed, etc.), and how their skin will age.  This allows us to personalize fitness, nutrition, skin care and wellness programs specific to their genetic blueprint.  This service has seen popularity in our 20/20 LifeStyles weight loss program.

Meet the experts leading these programs:

Jamie Funk: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, CNA, CHT, CWCA.   “One of the best things about hyperbaric oxygen therapy is its versatility.  HBOT can be used to treat autoimmune disorders, speed up healing after a surgery and so much more.”

Dr. Joe Upton: Age Management, Board Certified Anti-Aging Physician.  “Age Management is innovative because it provides a deeper dive into the patients’ health.  The opportunity gained from the discovery process is exciting, and valuable.  Over time, many experience symptomatic improvement and an improved quality of life.”

Heather Marsh: Genetic Testing , MS, Genetic Educator.  “I’m excited about genetic testing because it reimagines how we think about our health and wellness. We can discover information about ourselves that can make so much sense why we have experiences with our health and then make a much more informed decision about our health and wellness regime.  My clients are experiencing less fatigue, achieving greater results, and experiencing less injuries because of what we’re learning from their genetic reports.”
