Proactive Care
Proactive care should be the standard in the health industry. It focuses on preventing disease or chronic conditions before they arise. Through annual physical exams in Leesburg, we can monitor your health and provide personalized lifestyle guidance to help you live life longer and free of disease.
Reactive Care
Reactive care, on the other hand, happens after you get sick and then works to mask symptoms. This approach is more commonly known and practiced.
It’s not to say that reactive care isn’t important or necessary. Injuries happen, illnesses come out of nowhere, and sometimes emergency visits and disease management come up unexpectedly. But our goal at Dynamic Health & Wellness is to provide you with personalized care that focuses on optimizing your health so you require as little reactive care as possible.
Proactive Care at Dynamic Health & Wellness
What does proactive care look like at Dynamic Health & Wellness? Well, it all starts with your annual physical exam in Leesburg. Once we have a baseline for your health, we provide you with tailored lifestyle guidance and treatments to keep you off medicine for as long as possible. Here is what to expect.
Lab Testing
Through lab testing, we can uncover concealed health risks and spot imbalances that are currently causing symptoms or are on the verge of emerging. At Dynamic, we perform the following tests:
- Hormone panels – We test your levels of testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.
- Vitamin and mineral levels – We detect nutrient deficiencies that could affect your energy, sleep quality, and even your skin health.
- Cholesterol – An evaluation of your cardiovascular health that allows us to create a plan to reduce your risk of heart disease.
- Thyroid function test – Your thyroid makes and releases hormones and your metabolism. We test how this hormone is functioning.
- Blood sugar analysis – A screening for diabetes and pre-diabetes.
- Complete blood count – Measures the number of red and white blood cells and platelets. This gives us an understanding of your overall health.
- Liver and kidney function – Ensure these vital organs are functioning properly.
If we determine that you are healthy, we can give you lifestyle advice to maintain that health.
These comprehensive tests give us a blueprint to develop a personalized treatment plan for you based on whether we need to focus on hormonal balancing, blood sugar regulation, or nutrient replenishment.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Each treatment plan varies from patient-to-patient. Wendy’s main goal is to get you off of prescription medication. Usually, when patients receive reactive care, they are given different medications to manage their symptoms. For example, you may be on a medication for hypertension, but really you have sleep apnea. That’s far too many medications that aren’t actually addressing the root cause.
Using the results from your labs and your annual physical exam in Leesburg, she works to find the root cause of your health concerns to find a holistic solution.
Functional Medicine
Some medicines do more than simply mask symptoms; they actually address the root cause of your concerns. We offer a range of functional medicine treatments here at Dynamic Health & Wellness that help you live longer and feel younger, including:
- Hormone replacement therapy – When your hormones are imbalanced, it causes symptoms like fatigue, low libido, and unexpected weight changes. HRT replenishes your hormones and improves your overall health.
- Medical weight loss – Weight loss is not always as simple as changing your diet or exercising habits. Sometimes it requires medications that work with your body’s system to reduce appetite and control cravings.
- IV therapy – If nutrient deficiencies are causing you to feel fatigued or run down, we offer custom IV infusions that get delivered directly to your cells and organs to use immediately.
Ongoing, Evolving Care
Each year, Wendy Clow establishes your health baseline and evolves your care to match your unique needs. Wendy’s goal is to see you less often in her office and more often out and about enjoying all that life in The Villages has to offer. That is, of course, until your next annual physical exam in Leesburg.

Yes, even when you feel healthy and have no pressing concerns, you may still be at risk for certain health conditions. During your annual physical exam in Leesburg, we focus on preventing symptoms of diseases or chronic conditions from ever even arising.
Visiting us yearly helps you remain healthy and unconcerned about your health for as long as possible.
Each physical has its own purpose.
An annual physical exam focuses on early detection and prevention of diseases. It’s a proactive check-up to make sure you’re on top of your health and to establish health benchmarks. During an annual exam, we measure your vitals, height, weight, and perform bloodwork.
A DOT physical is an exam that ensures you can safely drive a commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) like semi-trucks and buses. The DOT physical includes a vision and hearing assessment, urinalysis, and diabetes screening.
A sports physical usually has a parameter set by the school or organization you’re hoping to play for. What we check and test for varies on the sport or activity you’re going to engage in. We typically check vitals, lungs, cardiovascular health, range of motion, and vision.
If your blood work comes back abnormal (meaning the values are not within normal limits), we can request further testing or refer you to a specialist.
Next, we focus on bringing your labs back to a normal range through medical intervention and holistic guidance.
It’s also possible that your labs may come back normal, but you still feel symptoms, like fatigue or low energy. Wendy Clow measures her patients’ health against their own unique health history. This allows for a truly personalized experience.
