Feeling drained even after a full night of sleep? Dealing with brain fog, lower stamina, or more “off days” than you used to?
Or do you have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver, or memory loss and want clearer answers than a routine physical can give?
Our Elite Physical Exams in Tustin go beyond a standard physical exam to evaluate cardiovascular health, metabolic function, nerve health, and organ performance in one coordinated assessment.
Using advanced imaging and targeted diagnostics, we look for early risk patterns routine exams often miss and give you a clear, data-informed plan to protect your long-term health.
Is an Elite Physical Exam Right for You?
You may benefit if you are experiencing:
- Energy that drops earlier in the day than it used to
- Brain fog, slower focus, or mental fatigue during busy weeks
- Sleep that is long enough but not restorative
- Slower recovery after workouts, travel, or high-stress periods
- Blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, or weight trending in the wrong direction
- Difficulty maintaining muscle or increasing midsection weight
- A strong family history of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, or memory decline
- Subtle dizziness, numbness, tingling, or balance changes
You may be a good fit if you are looking for:
- A clearer baseline you can track over time
- Prevention and early awareness without overreacting to every symptom
- Objective data to guide decisions about training, work demands, or lifestyle changes
- A coordinated review that connects findings across systems
- Straightforward interpretation that reduces guesswork
- A plan that feels structured, realistic, and sustainable for the long run
What to Expect When You Work With Us
Elite Physical Exams at Lam Clinic are structured and coordinated. We focus on building a clear baseline across cardiovascular, metabolic, nerve, and organ health, then turning your results into a practical plan you can follow.
- First visit: A focused review of your symptoms, health history, family risk, medications and supplements, and prior labs
- Exam day: One coordinated testing visit at our Tustin clinic, with guided cardiovascular imaging, metabolic analysis, nerve and lung testing, and ultrasound
- Results review: A dedicated follow-up to explain what is normal, what is trending, and what deserves attention in the context of your goals and risk
- Your plan: A written prevention and optimization plan with clear next steps, monitoring intervals, and coordination with your primary care doctor or specialists when needed
- Follow-up: Optional follow-up visits to track trends over time, update your plan as your health changes, and repeat select testing only when it helps guide next steps
How the Elite Physical Exam Works at Lam Clinic Using the LAM Method™
Elite Physical Exams at Lam Clinic follow the LAM Method™, a structured approach designed to organize complex health data, reduce guesswork, and build a clear plan you can actually use. This method follows three phases: Learn the Why, Address the Root, and Maximize Longevity. Here is how we apply the LAM Method™ to Elite Physical Exams:
Phase 1 of LAM Method™
Learn the Why
We start by getting to know you. That means going through your full history, what symptoms you are dealing with now, what runs in your family, what your previous labs showed, and what has or has not made a difference so far.
From there, we move into the workup itself. Rather than sending you to multiple specialists across different offices and weeks, we pull it all together in one coordinated visit at our Tustin clinic.
After establishing care with a new patient appointment, your Elite Workup includes:
Cardiovascular Assessment
- EKG (Electrocardiogram) – measures heart’s electrical signals and rhythm
- Heart Rate Variability Analysis – evaluates stress resilience and autonomic function
- Carotid Artery Ultrasound – detects early plaque buildup and stroke risk
- Echo – assesses heart function and ejection fraction
- Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) – screens for peripheral artery disease
- Photoplethysmography – analyzes blood vessel health and circulation
Metabolic and Body Composition Analysis
- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) – precisely measures muscle mass, body fat, and visceral fat
- Liver Scan – detects fatty liver disease and early fibrosis
Neurological and Respiratory Function
- Sudomotor Neuropathy Testing – detects earliest stages of nerve damage
- Pulmonary Function Testing – measures lung capacity and oxygen flow
- Spirometry – evaluates respiratory efficiency
- Balance Assessment – tests coordination and fall risk
Additional Screenings
- Thyroid Ultrasound – Identifies nodules or structural abnormalities
- Abdominal Aorta Ultrasound – screens for potentially life-threatening aneurysms
- Allergy Scratch Testing – identifies sensitivities affecting overall health
Phase 2 of LAM Method™
Address the Root
Your next steps are built around what your data and patterns show. We interpret results in context, clarify priorities, and focus on what is actionable now, using:
- Lifestyle targets you can sustain
- Nutritional strategies matched to your needs and tolerance, including supplements our team has vetted for quality and fit. Browse our recommendations at Dr. Lam’s Online Store
- Therapies when appropriate, selected for safety, fit, and clear purpose
Phase 3 of LAM Method™
Maximize Longevity
As you move from awareness to maintenance, we track trends over time and adjust your plan as your health, goals, and physiology change.
Follow-up and selective retesting are used only when they help guide your next step and support long-term resilience.
Why Patients Choose Lam Clinic for Gut Health and Digestive Healing
Elite Physical Exams at Lam Clinic are physician-led, with more than 25 years of experience integrating conventional and functional medicine.
Your doctor evaluates findings through a clinical lens, so decisions stay grounded, coordinated, and appropriate for your overall health picture.
Medications, existing diagnoses, supplements, and prior workups are reviewed together before new recommendations are made. Results are interpreted in plain language and placed in context, not handed back as isolated reports.
We do not replace your primary care provider. We encourage partnership for routine screenings and urgent needs while providing structured, long-term follow-up focused on prevention, risk reduction, and longevity planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an Elite Physical / Elite Workup include?
An Elite Workup combines cardiovascular testing (such as EKG, heart rate variability, carotid ultrasound, echocardiogram, ABI, and vessel assessments), metabolic and body composition analysis, liver screening, neurological and respiratory testing, balance assessment, thyroid and abdominal aorta ultrasound, and allergy scratch testing.
How is this different from executive physical programs at major hospitals?
Hospital executive physicals focus on disease detection. We combine disease screening with functional medicine assessment, looking at optimal function. Our structured process allows deeper investigation and more personalized follow up than many single-day programs that end with a brief summary.
Is the Elite Workup right for me if I feel generally healthy?
Yes, many people schedule an Elite Workup when they feel mostly well but have a strong family history, are focused on longevity, or want a more detailed baseline. It is especially helpful if you want to catch early changes in heart, vessel, liver, nerve, or metabolic health before symptoms appear.
Do you offer virtual visits and where are you located?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth visits for patients worldwide, along with in-person care at our clinic in Tustin, California. Many patients visit us from across Orange County, including Irvine, Santa Ana, Orange, Costa Mesa, and Anaheim.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept most PPO insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan. We do not accept Medicare, Medicaid/Medi-Cal, or HMOs. When something isn’t covered, we’ll explain costs upfront and help you prioritize what matters most.
Can I use my insurance for the Elite Workup?
While insurance may cover some individual components, comprehensive prevention typically isn’t covered. We provide detailed documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement and can submit covered portions to insurance when applicable so you understand what is and is not likely to be reimbursed.
Interested in a Preventive Checkup That Looks Beyond Basic Labs?
If you are serious about prevention and want a detailed baseline for your heart, metabolism, nerves, and organs, we are here to explain what an Elite Physical involves. Share your questions and concerns, and we will let you know whether this level of testing makes sense for your situation. You can request a breakdown of costs, what is often covered by insurance, and how follow up works. A Treatment Coordinator will follow up with you, or you can call 714-709-8000 to speak with our care team.
