Disease prevention focuses on identifying health risks before they become chronic conditions. At Atwell Longevity Institute in Palm Beach, Florida, highly skilled medical geneticist Paldeep Atwal, MD, FACMG, FRCP(UK), FRCP(Glasg), begins each patient’s journey with a comprehensive evaluation that includes physical exams, genetic testing, and advanced biomarker profiling. By targeting root causes such as inflammation, fatigue, and poor metabolism, Dr. Atwal and his team create personalized plans to prevent disease. Contact Atwell Longevity Institute by phone or schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment online today to start your proactive health journey.
Disease Prevention Q & A
What does disease prevention mean?
Disease prevention goes far beyond annual checkups. The Atwell Longevity Institute team believes in identifying and addressing the root causes of health decline before they lead to chronic illness.
Their approach combines advanced diagnostics, genetic insights, and targeted therapies to help patients feel energized, focused, and resilient at every stage of life.
Where does the disease prevention process begin?
Every patient’s longevity journey begins with a complete physical exam, including body mass index (BMI) and vital signs, pulse oximetry, and an eye, ear, nose, and throat (EENT) assessment.
This is followed by clinical-grade blood testing and an evaluation of aging biomarkers, hormone and inflammation levels, and metabolic and mitochondrial function to create a personalized health roadmap.
Why is genetic testing so important for disease prevention?
Your DNA holds powerful clues about your risk for chronic diseases and how your body responds to specific treatments. That’s why Atwell Longevity Institute uses MyOme® to investigate any relevant genetic profiles from single-gene panels up to whole-genome sequencing.
These insights allow the team to predict potential issues like weight gain, inflammation, fatigue, and cancer risk.
What kinds of genetic analyses are available?
Atwell Longevity Institute’s bespoke testing options include:
- Single-gene sequencing for critical disease-causing genes
- Custom panels for symptom-based investigation
- Multi-gene profiles to assess complex disease risk and progression
Declining cellular energy is a key factor in aging and disease, so the team also monitors metabolic and mitochondrial health. For example, they measure levels of the essential coenzyme NAD+, which decreases over time.
They also offer pharmacogenomic testing to understand how your genes influence your response to specific medications. This ensures that every treatment is safe and effective.
What additional therapies support disease prevention?
To complement metabolic optimization, Atwell Longevity Institute offers hormone replacement and peptide therapies that enhance mood, sleep, libido, tissue repair, and immune balance. Niagen® Nicotinamide Riboside, a unique form of vitamin B3, replenishes NAD+ to improve energy, reduce fatigue and brain fog, and support healthy metabolism.
You can also benefit from the practice’s signature Longevity intravenous (IV) infusion, created by board-certified biochemical geneticist Dr. Atwal. This IV delivers cellular rejuvenation through antioxidants, cofactors, and nutrients that promote focus, detoxification, and inflammation reduction.
