What is your biological age?
Your biological age is a measure of how well or
poorly your body is functioning relative to the
optimal physiology achieved during young
adulthood. After the age of 30, functional capacit y
begins to slowly decline. This manifests as slowing
metabolism, declining athletic performance and
imbalanced hormones. But what if there was a
personalized health solution to preserve your
functional capacity?

Next Generation Exam
Your DeerFields Experience begins with our Next Generation
Exam. Combining the latest screening and diagnostic equipment
available in Canada, we measure the biological aging of your cardiovascular system, lungs, cognitive functioning, skin, immune
system and telomeres. Taken together, these measures not
only screen for early signs of disease, but also provide a clear
picture of your state of health, true biological age and health span.
Experience a truly customized medical exam that at its most basic, surpasses
other premium medical exams available in Canada, and at its most advanced,
provides a complete understanding of your biological aging. With an emphasis
on personalized care, the DeerFields team will work with you to customize your
medical exam experience by adding specialty tests to your Next Generation Exam.
Features:
r Comprehensive history review and physical with a physician
r Extensive blood work, hearing and vision test, abdominal and pelvic
ultrasound, resting ECG.
r Enhanced cardiovascular disease risk screening, including a cardiac
stress test (GXT) and Carotid Intima Media Thickness Test (CIMT) – the
most advanced method of detecting atherosclerosis
r Evaluation of your physical fitness including VO2Max testing – the best
single measure of aerobic fitness and comprehensive body composition
assessment with the InBody 520
r A comprehensive consultation with an expert Lifestyle Coach who will
provide personal nutrition, fitness and supplement recommendations
based on your test results
r Same day reporting – meet with your examining physician at the end
of your exam to review your results and discuss recommendations
“Health span” is a term that denotes
not how long we live, but how long
we remain independent, free of
disease, and enjoy a good quality of
life. The average Canadian spends
the last 10 years of their life in
sickness. DeerFields’ mission is
to preserve our clients’ health span
so that they can enjoy the entire
length of their life.

improve it.
Telomere Length
Telomere length is a powerful biomarker of genetic aging, shorter
telomeres are associated with an increased risk of chronic diseases such
as heart disease and Alzheimer’s. Telomere shortening can be slowed,
stopped, or even reversed through lifestyle change and supplementation.
Complete Biomarker Testing
Complete Biomarker Testing includes both the Hormone and Telomere
length assessments, and also measures the biological age of your
cardiovascular system, lungs, cognitive functioning, skin, and immune
system to help craft a personalized health and wellness plan to preserve
your quality of life and maintain optimal function.
Genomics
Your unique genomic makeup provides functional insights into your
cardiovascular health, metabolic profile, body composition, detoxification
pathways, as well as your mood and personality traits. Through targeted
genomics testing, we uncover your health risks and disease risk disposition,
then work with you to implement personalized preventive healthcare
and lifestyle plans so that you can take greater control of your health and
wellbeing.
Functional Tests and Advanced Risk Assessments
DeerFields is partnered with world-leading laboratories to deliver advanced
cardiac risk screening as well as evaluate different components of your
metabolism, such as digestive health and food sensitivities. These tests may be
added to your exam based on your unique risk profile, or specific symptoms you
share during your initial consultation.
Hormone Assessment
Maintaining proper hormone balance is essential to your health and wellness.
Our hormone assessment evaluates your testosterone, estrogen and
progesterone levels using comprehensive serum and saliva testing to
uncover hormone imbalances.
What are telomeres?
Similar to the plastic tips on a shoelace, telomeres are small “caps”
at the end of our chromosomes that protect our DNA. Our telomeres
shorten as we age, but stress, smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet
and obesity can cause premature telomere shortening. When
telomeres get too short, cells don’t divide properly causing
inflammation, cellular aging, and tissue degeneration.
Telomere length is a measure of biological age as compared to
chronological age. Numerous scientific studies have proven a
strong connection between short telomeres and premature cellular
aging. Elizabeth Blackburn’s discovery of telomerase, the enzyme
that replenishes telomeres, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or
Medicine in 2009.
