Regular health check-ups are crucial for keeping yourself in good shape, and your annual physical is the most important one of the year. It’s not just about checking how you’re doing now – it’s a proactive way to spot potential health problems before they turn into big issues and stay one step ahead in your health and well-being!

In this article, we will discuss the importance of getting your annual physical and explore the advantages of seeing your Radish Health doctor for this all-important visit. It’s easy to schedule your physical either at work or from the comfort of home, so that you can free up some time while staying on top of your health!

Why your annual physical matters

  1. Early detection of health issues: A simple blood test or blood pressure measurement today can add years to your life down the road. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer can be more effectively managed when spotted early.
  2. Personalized health planning: During the conversation with your doctor, you will discuss a personalized health plan which may include dietary recommendations, exercise plans, or screenings based on your age, gender, and family medical history.
  3. Monitor chronic conditions: If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or another condition, your annual physical is an opportunity to assess how things are going, get refills, and make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary.
  4. Preventive screenings: Depending on your age and risk factors, screenings may include a blood pressure check, sugar and cholesterol levels, cancer screenings, and a mental health assessment to identify signs of stress, anxiety, or depression.

Why you should schedule your physical with Radish Health

  1. Convenience is key: Complete your physical at work or at home so that you don’t need to travel to your doctor’s office and wait to be seen. With Radish Health, schedule your physical same day on your lunch break!
  2. Your Radish doctor knows you: Meet your dedicated Radish doctor during your physical, and rest assured knowing that they know your medical history and will be available anytime you need help throughout the year.
  3. Care guides available: Your Radish Care Team also includes your dedicated Care Guide who can help schedule blood work and mammograms, find high quality in-network specialists, and ensure the best price for your prescriptions.
  4. It’s free: did you know that your health insurance or employer plan covers your annual physical at no cost to you? You already have insurance, so might as well use it! There’s no reason not to take advantage of better health.
