Regional fat distribution (including visceral adipose tissue)

VO2 Max test
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that can be utilized during intense exercise. This test, performed on a treadmill or bicycle, provides us with aerobic and anaerobic thresholds as well as individualized heart rate zones to reference when building a fitness regimen. VO2 max tests are considered the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.
Video-based gait analysis
An advanced form of movement analysis, video gait analysis allows us to observe body mechanics at different phases of the gait cycle, including foot strike, hip extension, arm swing, and hip/ankle angle. We identify asymmetries that lead to a greater risk of injury. Data from this test in combination with information gathered from your consultation with your physical therapist help us provide personalized exercises and routines.

An executive physical is a comprehensive health exam that goes beyond the standard annual physical. At SHIFT, this includes a full medical history, head-to-toe exam, advanced bloodwork, a DEXA scan, a VO2 max test, injury and movement screen, and consultations with specialists. This executive health exam provides our patients with a complete picture of their health status and long-term risks.
How long does an executive physical take?
Members can expect to meet with multiple providers during a single visit. During the assessment, the Member will complete lab tests, comprehensive screenings, and diagnostic tests as well as receive personalized health plans.
How much does an executive physical cost?
The cost of our executive health exams vary depending on the scope of testing. Advanced diagnostic screenings and specialty consults with our registered dietitians and physical therapists may also impact the price. While some insurance may cover testing, the executive physical itself is usually paid for directly by the patient or your employer.
How is SHIFT’s Executive Physical different from a typical physical at a doctor’s office?
Unlike traditional healthcare experiences that are largely transactional, reactive, and brief, our Executive Physical involves an end-to-end examination process that takes into consideration every aspect of your health and well-being. Our Chicago-based concierge medical team conducts a wide range of diagnostic tests, including laboratory analysis, DEXA body composition scan, and VO2 max testing, to uncover health risks and to understand the current state of your health at a fundamental level. In one-on-one consultations, our medical experts empower you to address current risks and prevent future issues through lifestyle modifications focused on healthspan and longevity.
What is a female executive physical exam?
A female executive physical exam, also known as a women’s executive health checkup, combines a comprehensive health exam with a deeper focus on women’s preventive health screenings. Our concierge physicians identify risk factors early, develop personalized disease-prevention plans, and help women extend their lifespan.
How much does a female executive physical cost?
The cost of an annual physical for female executives is similar to our standard executive exam. Additional women’s preventive health screenings may adjust the total cost.
Can I request a female doctor for my executive physical?
Absolutely! Many women prefer a female doctor for an executive physical exam, especially when undergoing sensitive screenings. At SHIFT, patients may request a female doctor to ensure their experience is as comfortable as possible.
Are executive physicals worth it for women?
Yes. Annual comprehensive physicals are important for women who want to improve their health and extend their healthspan. SHIFT offers an elevated, forward-looking experience focused on delivering patient-centered, accessible, and innovative care for women. Your physician will discuss your specific health concerns and questions in depth. We believe that understanding the conditions of your life, your patterns of behavior, your values, and your aspirations is essential to providing the best care. We use a much broader range of diagnostic tests in combination with insights from one-on-one consultations to establish your true health baseline.
