At Beach Health Center, we know life gets busy. Between work, family, and everything else on your to-do list, it’s easy to push your own health to the back burner, especially if you feel okay. But staying on top of your wellness visits can make a big difference in how you feel today and in the years ahead.
Preventive care isn’t just about checking off a box. It helps catch small concerns before they grow into something bigger. If it’s been more than a year since your last check-up, here are five signs it might be time to schedule your next wellness exam:
1. You’ve Noticed a Dip in Your Energy
Feeling more tired than usual, even after a good night’s sleep? A wellness exam can help uncover the cause, whether it’s vitamin deficiency, stress, or something else that needs attention.
2. Your Weight Has Changed Without Trying
Sudden weight gain or loss without a change in diet or activity can be a red flag. Your provider can help you get to the bottom of it and guide you on next steps.
3. You Have a Family History of Chronic Illness
If heart disease, diabetes, or certain cancers run in your family, regular check-ups can help you stay proactive. Your provider may recommend earlier screenings or lifestyle changes to lower your risk.
4. You’re Behind on Screenings or Vaccines
From blood pressure checks to cholesterol and mammograms to colon cancer screenings, wellness visits keep you on schedule. Your provider can also update any needed vaccines based on your age and health history.
5. You Just Feel… Off
You know your body best. If something feels different—even if you can’t quite put your finger on it—it’s worth checking in. Wellness exams are designed to catch issues early and help you feel your best.
At Beach Health Center, we make your health a priority with friendly, judgment-free care that’s tailored to you. Whether you’re due for an annual physical or just want to talk about a concern, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
