Routine checkups are the foundation of preventive healthcare, helping you stay ahead of potential issues before they become serious. From annual physicals to screenings for heart health, diabetes, and cancer, regular visits to your doctor can catch concerns early and provide the personalized guidance you need. These appointments aren’t just about spotting illnesses—they’re an opportunity to track progress, discuss lifestyle goals, and make informed decisions about your well-being.

At Staying Healthy Together, we believe preventive care empowers you to live a healthier, longer life. However, we are not medical professionals, and the information shared here is for educational purposes only. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical advice and guidance tailored to your needs. Stay tuned for expert-backed advice on essential checkups, how to prepare for appointments, and the latest health screening recommendations.

“Prep for Your Checkup”

“Make the most of your visit—here’s how to go in confident and come out informed.”

Health Snapshot – Jot down symptoms, questions, or changes since your last visit.

Medication & Supplements List – A reminder to bring everything, even vitamins.

Family History Notes – Remember to update and bring any relevant changes (e.g., new diagnoses).

Insurance & Referral Info – For ease at check-in, and to be on the safe side.

Wellness Wins & Challenges – A reflective space: “I’ve started walking daily!” or “Still struggling with sleep.”

Goals for the Visit – E.g., “Ask about my cholesterol,” or “Discuss switching medications etc.”

Memory Concerns & High Tau Levels

If you’ve received high pTau test results but your MRI came back normal, you’re not alone—and it’s important to ask the right questions during your neurology memory visit. These biomarkers can signal early changes in brain health, even when imaging looks fine.
