Letter from Dr. Padma

In our busy lives, along with the demands of daily activities and aging, taking time for yourself might be a challenging task. Your body deserves the tender, loving care it needs. If you have taken the time to care for yourself and have started a diet and exercise routine, we are here to help facilitate your journey to well-being. If you haven’t started yet and are waiting for that one person you can open up to, to take your health journey to a higher level of well-being, then look no further—I am here for you.

We grow older every day, and we cannot turn the clock back. We are here to help you maintain or restore your functional age, as we cannot reverse biological age. Imagine feeling good when someone says, “You look like you’re in your 30s, but you’re actually in your 40s.” Managing your modifiable risk factors for some chronic diseases and identifying genetic risk factors early may help you manage or mitigate the disease process early. At WellnestMD, we will work with your goals and provide you with tailored, personalized care. Let’s all enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and mindset, so why wait!
