Our Functional Approach
Building a Complete Health Picture So You Can Plan for a Longer, Stronger Life

You know your body. Your labs may be called “normal,” yet you feel tired, unfocused, or not quite yourself, and you sense something important is being missed.
Standard physicals are designed to find clear disease, not early changes in heart, brain, metabolism, or nerves that can build over many years. They often look at whether you are in the average range, not whether you are truly in an optimal range for your age, goals, and family history.
At Lam Clinic in Tustin, California, our Elite Workup is a more complete health evaluation. It goes beyond basic blood work to look at your cardiovascular health, metabolism, nerves, lungs, and key organs using advanced imaging, comprehensive diagnostics, and functional medicine analysis.
The focus is early detection and prevention so you can intervene while changes are still easier to work with.
Research shows that many conditions begin quietly years before symptoms become obvious. Cardiovascular disease can start 20 to 30 years before chest pain or shortness of breath. Fatty liver changes can affect many adults without clear early symptoms. Peripheral neuropathy and cognitive decline can progress long before tingling, numbness, or memory problems are noticeable. Many cancers also grow in the background for years before standard tests pick them up.
Your body often sends early signals through subtle symptoms and small lab shifts. The question is whether anyone is looking closely enough to catch them. Your Elite Workup brings this information together in one place so you can understand what is happening now and what may be developing over time.
You receive a personalized health optimization plan based on your results and story. You can use this plan with our team and with your other doctors to guide next steps with more clarity and confidence.
Foundations of Care
The Four Pillars of
Elite Physical Exams at Lam Clinic
Our Elite Workup is organized into four clear pillars so you know exactly what is being checked and how it supports your long term health.
Cardiovascular and Metabolic Screening
We evaluate your heart, circulation, and metabolic function with advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to identify early risk patterns before they become serious problems.
Whole Body and Organ Health Assessment
We assess your nerves, lungs, thyroid, liver, and major vessels to detect subtle changes in organ function long before noticeable symptoms develop.
Integrated, Functional Interpretation of Your Results
We review all findings together to see how your systems are interacting and where early strain or imbalance may be affecting your daily energy and performance.
Personalized Prevention and Optimization Plan
We create a clear plan with tailored nutrition, movement, supplements, and lifestyle guidance so you can act on your results with confidence and direction.
Patient Profiles
Who May Benefit from an Elite Workup
An Elite Workup can be a good option if you want a clearer picture of your health than a standard physical usually provides.

An Elite Workup may be a good fit if you:
- Have been told your labs are normal, yet you still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, poor focus, or low stamina.
- Rely on steady mental and physical performance for work, business, caregiving, or sport and feel your edge is slipping.
- Have a family history of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, or memory loss and want a more thorough baseline evaluation.
- Care about prevention and longevity and want to stay active, mobile, and independent as you get older.
- Prefer an MD-led team that looks at your results in context and explains what they mean for your current health and long term risk.
- Already invest in your health and want objective data to refine your nutrition, exercise, and supplement choices.
Common reasons people schedule an Elite Workup include:
- Ongoing fatigue, brain fog, or reduced resilience under stress.
- Concerns about heart health, circulation, blood pressure, or cholesterol.
- Worry about fatty liver, blood sugar changes, or weight gain around the midsection.
- Numbness, tingling, or balance changes that raise concern about nerve health.
- A desire to check organ function and vessel health before starting a new training, travel, or life plan.

Your Elite Workup - Guided by
the Lam Method™

Our Elite Workup combines advanced diagnostics typically scattered across multiple specialists into one thorough assessment. 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 & 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 & 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

Why These Tests Matter
Early Detection = Simple Solutions
Cardiovascular disease develops 20-30 years before symptoms appear. Fatty liver affects 25% of adults silently. Cognitive decline begins decades before memory issues. Our Elite Workup catches these changes when intervention is still simple and effective.
Everything Is Connected
Your fatigue might stem from reduced cardiac output, hidden liver dysfunction, or early insulin resistance. Brain fog could indicate compromised circulation or neuroinflammation. By analyzing all systems together, we identify root causes your regular doctor misses.
Optimal vs. “Normal”
We don’t compare you to the average American (who’s often unhealthy). We evaluate your results against optimal ranges for peak performance and longevity.

Proven Excellence
Why Choose Lam Clinic
Many people who come to Lam Clinic for an Elite Workup feel like they are doing “all the right things” yet still do not have a clear picture of their true health.
They may have had executive physicals, basic checkups, or scattered tests, but no one has connected everything into one understandable plan.
Lam Clinic in Tustin, California is a family-led, integrative medical clinic with more than 25 years of experience in complex, chronic, and preventive care.
Your Elite Workup is not a generic executive physical. It is a physician-directed evaluation that uses advanced cardiovascular imaging, metabolic and body composition testing, nerve and lung assessments, and targeted ultrasound in one coordinated visit, so you are not driving from specialist to specialist or trying to interpret separate reports on your own.
We review your results through an integrative and functional lens, using the NeuroEndoMetabolic (NEM) Stress Response model to understand how stress, hormones, inflammation, sleep, and lifestyle may be affecting your numbers and your day to day symptoms. This helps us explain why you feel the way you do.
You are supported by a collaborative team that includes medical doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who share notes and discuss cases. This reduces the chance that small but important findings are overlooked and allows your plan to be safer and more coordinated.
We also balance conventional and natural options carefully. When medications, referrals, or standard procedures are the safest choice, we recommend them. When appropriate, we add nutrition, movement, supplements, IV support, and lifestyle strategies in a way that fits your capacity and preferences.
Whether you see us in person in Tustin or connect through a virtual visit for your consultations, our goal is straightforward. Give you a clear, data-informed view of your health today, help you understand your real risks, and provide a realistic, stepwise plan you can follow over time.
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. All of these are brought together and interpreted in one coordinated, physician-led review so you receive a clear summary and plan, not just a stack of reports.
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, not just pathology. 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.
How often should I repeat the Elite Physical?
We recommend annual comprehensive reassessment, with quarterly biomarker tracking for optimization when appropriate. Your personalized schedule depends on your initial findings, family history, and health goals.
How long does the Elite Workup visit take?
Plan for a single, comprehensive testing visit that typically takes several hours, depending on your specific test panel and scheduling. Your detailed results review is done at a separate follow up visit, either in person or via telehealth when appropriate.
How should I prepare for my Elite Workup?
Before your Elite Workup, you will complete a new patient visit so we can review your history, medications, and goals and confirm which tests are right for you. Our team will give you clear instructions about eating, drinking, medications, and clothing on the day of testing so your results are as accurate and comfortable as possible.
Do I need to stop my current medications?
No. We work with your current treatments and providers. Our goal is optimization and prevention, complementing rather than replacing necessary medical care. If any medications need to be adjusted or timed differently around testing, we will review this with you in advance.
What if you find something serious?
We maintain relationships with top specialists throughout Orange County. If we discover anything requiring immediate intervention, we facilitate rapid referral while continuing to coordinate your overall care so you are not left to navigate the next steps alone.
How long until I see results?
Many patients report improved energy and clarity within 2–3 weeks of implementing their protocol. Objective markers typically improve within 3–6 months. Long term prevention benefits build over years as you stay consistent with your plan and adjust it over time.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most PPO insurance plans. Coverage varies by plan and benefits. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid/Medi-Cal, or HMO plans, but are able to offer affordable cash-based pricing. We’ll discuss which labs and therapies are typically covered and design a plan that minimizes non-covered costs while keeping the clinical impact high.
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.
Where are you located and what visit options do you offer?
We serve Orange County and surrounding areas from our Tustin clinic for in person autoimmune and whole-body healing care, including Elite Physical Exams and preventive screening. You can also work with our team through secure telehealth visits when allowed in your state or country, and we guide you through any forms and labs you need before your appointment.
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.
