A personalized wellness plan begins with understanding where you are today.
At Aesthe Clinic, the Wellness Assessment brings together your medical history, lifestyle, current health concerns, individual priorities, clinical measurements and selected investigations when appropriate.
Rather than starting with a predetermined treatment or package, the assessment helps identify what may deserve attention, what is already working well, and which areas may benefit from further evaluation or individualized support.
The findings are reviewed by a physician and used to develop your Personalized Wellness Profile, which forms the foundation for the next stage of your Medical Wellness Program.
Health is influenced by more than a single laboratory value,
A Whole-Person Approach to Wellness
Our assessment therefore considers several interconnected areas, including your medical background, daily habits, physical health and the six lifestyle domains commonly addressed within lifestyle medicine:
Nutrition • Physical Activity • Restorative Sleep • Stress Management • Positive Social Connection • Avoidance of Risky Substances
The depth of assessment varies between individuals. Not every questionnaire, measurement or laboratory investigation is necessary for every person.
Your assessment is selected according to your health history, age, concerns, risk factors and physician evaluation.
The Six Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine
6. Nutrition Assessment
7. Physical Activity & Movement Assessment
7. Physical Activity & Movement Assessment
Understanding Your Eating Patterns
Nutrition assessment focuses on your usual eating habits rather than applying the same dietary plan to everyone.
We may review:
- Typical meals and snacks
- Meal timing
- Food variety
- Sources of protein
- Fruits and vegetables
- Whole-food intake
- Fibre-containing foods
- Highly processed foods
- Sugar-sweetened beverages
- Hydration
- Dietary restrictions
- Eating patterns related to work or lifestyle
- Previous dietary approaches
When useful, a dietary recall, food record or structured questionnaire may be considered.
The purpose is to identify practical areas for improvement while developing an approach that is appropriate for your health and sustainable in daily life.

- Walking and daily movement
- Aerobic activity
- Strength-related activity
- Mobility and flexibility
- Sedentary time
- Occupational activity
- Previous injuries
- Limitations during exercise
- Personal activity goals
Selected standardized physical activity questionnaires may be used where appropriate.
Information from personal activity trackers or wearable devices may also be reviewed as supplementary information when useful.
8. Restorative Sleep Assessment
7. Physical Activity & Movement Assessment
9. Stress Management & Emotional Wellbeing
Understanding Sleep and Recovery
Sleep can influence many aspects of daily wellbeing and may interact with nutrition, physical activity, stress and metabolic health.
Your assessment may explore:

Understanding Your Daily Stress and Recovery
The Wellness Assessment may explore how everyday stress interacts with sleep, eating habits, physical activity and overall wellbeing.
Areas considered may include:
- Work-related stress
- Daily responsibilities
- Work–rest balance
- Major life changes
- Recovery time
- Coping strategies
- Relaxation habits
- Physical activity
- Sleep
- Available support
Selected wellbeing or stress screening questionnaires may be used when appropriate.
Wellness assessment is not a substitute for specialist mental health evaluation. If further assessment is indicated, appropriate referral may be recommended.
10. Positive Social Connection
9. Stress Management & Emotional Wellbeing
11. Avoidance of Risky Substances
Understanding Your Support and Social Wellbeing
Meaningful social connection forms part of overall wellbeing and may influence how people manage lifestyle changes and long-term health.
Your assessment may consider:
- Family and household support
- Meaningful relationships
- Social interaction
- Community participation
- Caregiving responsibilities
- Feelings of social isolation
- Available support during illness or periods of difficulty

This area may be particularly relevant when planning wellness support for older adults or individuals experiencing major lifestyle changes.
11. Avoidance of Risky Substances
9. Stress Management & Emotional Wellbeing
11. Avoidance of Risky Substances
Identifying Modifiable Health Risks
When relevant, your physician may ask about exposure to substances or habits that can influence health.
These may include:
- Tobacco
- Vaping
- Alcohol
- Non-prescribed substances
- Excessive stimulant or caffeine use
- Relevant occupational or environmental exposure
The discussion is intended to identify health risks and opportunities for appropriate support—not to judge individual choices.
Structured screening tools may be used when clinically appropriate.
MEDICAL WELLNESS ASSESSMENT
Functional & Physical Fitness Assessment
For selected individuals, particularly when physical function, healthy ageing or exercise planning is an important goal, additional functional assessment may be considered.
This may evaluate areas such as:
- Strength
- Mobility
- Balance
- Walking ability
- Exercise tolerance
- Functional movement
The specific assessment depends on age, health status, physical ability and clinical indication.
Medical Wellness Assessment
Selected Medical Device Assessments
Medical devices may provide additional objective information when appropriate.
Depending on available services and clinical indication, assessment may include measurements relating to:
- Vital signs
- Body composition
- Cardiovascular parameters
- Physical function
- Other relevant health measurements
The physician determines whether a particular measurement is useful and how it should be interpreted in the context of your overall health.
Selected Laboratory Testing
Testing Based on Individual Needs
Laboratory investigations are not automatically required for every person.
When appropriate, your physician may recommend selected testing according to your health history, symptoms, age and risk factors.
Examples of areas that may be evaluated include:
Cardiometabolic Health
- Blood glucose-related markers
- Lipid-related markers
General Health
- Blood count
- Liver function
- Kidney function
- Electrolytes
Selected Nutritional or Metabolic Markers
Additional testing may be considered where there is a clinical reason to do so.
The purpose of laboratory testing is to answer relevant clinical questions and support decision-making—not simply to perform the largest possible panel.
Cardiometabolic Risk Assessment
Information collected during your Wellness Assessment may help identify factors relevant to cardiometabolic health.
Assessment may consider:
- Blood pressure
- Weight and waist measurement
- Family history
- Physical activity
- Nutrition
- Sleep
- Tobacco exposure
- Relevant laboratory findings
- Existing medical conditions
Where findings suggest that further cardiovascular, metabolic or endocrine evaluation may be appropriate, additional investigation or referral can be discussed.
Healthy Ageing Assessment
Information collected during your Wellness Assessment may help identify factors relevant to cardiometabolic health.
Assessment may consider:
- Blood pressure
- Weight and waist measurement
- Family history
- Physical activity
- Nutrition
- Sleep
- Tobacco exposure
- Relevant laboratory findings
- Existing medical conditions
Where findings suggest that further cardiovascular, metabolic or endocrine evaluation may be appropriate, additional investigation or referral can be discussed.
Healthy Ageing Assessment
Supporting Health and Function Over Time
For individuals whose goals include maintaining health and function with age, the Wellness Assessment may place additional emphasis on:
- Physical activity
- Strength and mobility
- Nutrition
- Body composition
- Sleep and recovery
- Metabolic health
- Medication review
- Social connection
- Functional independence
- Relevant preventive health priorities
The focus is on supporting healthy ageing and maintaining function rather than making claims about reversing ageing or extending lifespan.
Review of Previous Medical Records
You are encouraged to bring relevant previous health information when available.
This may include:
- Recent laboratory results
- Previous health check-up reports
- Imaging reports
- Medication lists
- Relevant medical records
- Results from other healthcare providers
Reviewing existing information may help avoid unnecessary duplication and provide useful context for your current assessment.
MEDICAL WELLNESS ASSESSMENT
Physician Interpretation
Bringing the Information Together
Wellness Assessment is more than collecting measurements.
The physician reviews your medical history, lifestyle information, clinical findings and selected investigation results together.
This helps identify:
Current Health Findings
Relevant findings from your assessment.
Lifestyle Strengths
Areas that are already supporting your health.
Areas to Consider
Lifestyle or health factors that may benefit from attention.
Medical Risk Factors
Findings that may require monitoring, further investigation or medical care.
Wellness Priorities
The areas most relevant to your current goals and health needs.
Areas Requiring Further Assessment
Issues that may need additional testing or evaluation before a wellness plan is finalized.
MEDICAL WELLNESS ASSESSMENT
Your Personalized Wellness Profile
At the end of the assessment process, the information is brought together into a Personalized Wellness Profile.
Rather than reducing health to a single score, the profile is designed to provide a structured overview of your current priorities.
Your profile may summarize:
Nutrition
Current pattern and areas to consider
Physical Activity
Movement, exercise and physical function
Sleep & Recovery
Sleep patterns and relevant concerns
Stress & Wellbeing
Everyday stress and recovery factors
Social Connection
Support and social wellbeing
Risk Reduction
Relevant modifiable exposures
Clinical Findings
Measurements and investigations requiring attention
Personal Wellness Priorities
Areas to focus on within your individualized plan
What Happens After Your Assessment?
Your Wellness Assessment becomes the foundation for the next stage:
Wellness Plan & Treatment
Your physician will discuss which strategies may be appropriate based on your findings.
Depending on individual needs, your plan may include:
- Nutrition and lifestyle priorities
- Physical activity recommendations
- Sleep and recovery strategies
- Stress-management approaches
- Risk-reduction strategies
- Weight or metabolic health management
- Further investigations
- Medical management when clinically appropriate
- Selected supportive treatments when appropriate
- Referral to another healthcare professional when needed
Not every person requires medical treatment, procedures or supportive therapies.
The plan is individualized according to assessment findings and medical suitability.
Further Investigation & Referral
Wellness care should recognize when another form of medical evaluation is more appropriate.
If findings suggest an issue requiring further assessment, your physician may recommend:
- Additional investigations
- Follow-up with your existing physician
- Assessment by another medical discipline
- Referral to an appropriate healthcare professional
This ensures that wellness care remains integrated with appropriate medical care rather than replacing it.
