物の哀れ: “mono no aware.” To the Japanese, it’s a special kind of beauty that can only be found in the ephemeral. Cherry blossoms. A full moon. Life itself. They’re precious because they’re impermanent; fleeting glimpses of the Creator’s finest work.
You are one fine piece of work indeed. If medical science could devise a way to make you live forever – or at the very least longer – then I wish it would already. But until that day comes, LX Medical shall offer you the next very best thing: not an extended lifespan, but the elevated healthspan you need to properly cherish this happy, happy world.
“My background is in emergency medicine,” said James Riggen, certified physician assistant and president of LX Medical. “My wife Aundria, who is also a certified physician assistant in addition to being our CEO, began her career in urgent care, primary care and orthopedic surgery.
“After spending around 12 years in our respective fields, Aundria and I had both become exasperated. We were barely given enough time to put Band-Aids on our patients, let alone address the root causes behind their health concerns. It was a terrible way of practicing medicine, all in all.
“We dreamt of a better way … a full-spectrum healthcare ecosystem, which puts each patient’s needs above all else, provides both urgent and primary care during traditional house calls, and makes any type of specialist physician almost immediately available. It would be the way we wanted to practice medicine – or, as one of the physicians we work with once called it, ‘the new soul of healthcare.’
“We made our dream a reality right around the time reality became very strange. LX Medical was founded a few weeks before the pandemic, when demand for house calls skyrocketed. It was a baptism by fire, of sorts, but we weathered the storm and helped a lot of good people who otherwise wouldn’t have received medical care.
“Once the world calmed down, we were able to retrain our focus on what we’re most excited for: proactive care. Unlike primary care, which primarily addresses health concerns as they pop up, our proactive care encompasses virtually everything our patient can do to stay healthier, longer. It doesn’t matter how futuristic a treatment might seem, or whether or not insurance covers it. So long as it’s provenly safe and effective, we pride ourselves on making it available.
“Take peptides, for example. They’re a ground-breaking new treatment, which enhance intercellular communication to yield health benefits ranging from better sleep to faster weight loss. Whether your health goals include building muscle, reducing inflammation, or aging with confidence, we’ll help you identify and receive the best peptides for the job.
“Before we can begin advising pathways toward better health, we have to know exactly what we’re working with. That’s why we developed the Predictive 360 Assessment: an in-depth study of more than 50 biomarkers which reveals the state of the biological processes going on inside your body. Your organs. Your hormones. Your Inflammation, macronutrients and cardiometabolic performance. That’s only scratching the surface of what such exhaustive bloodwork can teach us.
“Once we’ve performed your Predictive 360 Assessment, we’ll help you understand everything you can do to achieve greater overall wellness and reduce the effects of time on your body. It doesn’t matter if elevating your healthspan requires peptides, advanced therapeutics, regenerative medicine, or even cellular messaging. We’ll be behind you every step of the way. It’s all in service of securing your best possible outcome: optimal health – and, hopefully, more time with which to enjoy it.”
