At Eastside Longevity Clinic in Kirkland, WA, we view the annual physical not just as a routine obligation but as a powerful opportunity to create a personalized roadmap for lifelong wellness. Dr. Frank Marinkovich, M.D., combines expertise in Internal Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Sports Medicine to offer more than just disease detection. Our approach helps patients optimize health, strengthen resilience, and proactively prevent the chronic diseases that can limit longevity, ensuring a long and active life.

Why Your Annual Exam Matters More Than You Think

Many chronic diseases progress silently over time, often without noticeable symptoms. This is why preventive screenings are essential—they catch potential issues like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances early on. By identifying these risk factors, we can create actionable plans that help you avoid the impact of these conditions.


Functional assessments during your annual physical also provide insights into changes in strength, balance, and mobility—early indicators that can affect your independence. When we assess these areas, we can act before they limit your everyday activities.

Why it matters: By transforming your annual checkup into a proactive evaluation, you can shift from reactive healthcare to a more preventive and personalized model, staying ahead of health challenges that may arise.


What a Longevity-Focused Physical Includes

Our comprehensive annual physicals at Eastside Longevity Clinic go far beyond the basics of a typical checkup. Here's a breakdown of the advanced assessments and screenings included in our holistic approach:


Advanced Testing and Screenings

  • Comprehensive blood panels covering key areas like hormones, inflammation, and metabolic health.

  • Cardiovascular screenings and advanced imaging to detect diseases before they become severe.

  • Nutrient testing and genetic analysis to personalize your risk and tailor your health plan.


Strength, Mobility, and Balance Assessments

  • In-depth evaluations of muscle mass, flexibility, and coordination.

  • Identification of areas of weakness or joint dysfunction that increase the risk of falls or injury.

  • Targeted strategies designed to help you maintain independence and stay strong as you age.


Cognitive and Mental Health Evaluation

  • We screen for changes in mood, sleep quality, and memory as part of a holistic approach to overall wellness.

  • Tools like qEEG mapping and neurofeedback are available for enhancing brain health and emotional well-being.


Personalized Longevity Planning

  • Customized nutrition plans and exercise prescriptions based on your specific needs, genetics, and lifestyle.

  • Stress management techniques, sleep optimization, and recovery strategies to enhance your overall wellness.

  • When appropriate, we provide targeted interventions like peptide therapy, IV therapy, or regenerative care to help promote recovery, vitality, and long-term health.


The Benefits of Using Your Physical as a Roadmap

By making your annual physical a strategic part of your health journey, you get several long-term benefits:

  • A clear understanding of your current health status and any potential risks.

  • Early detection of silent risk factors—such as undiagnosed diabetes or cardiovascular disease—before they escalate.
