Check your stress

Practicing law can be extremely stressful. Looming deadlines, demanding clients and social obligations all vie for a lawyer’s time and contribute to stress, bad diets and lack of exercise. Cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, lung cancer and osteoporosis are the leading causes of death and disability in American adults and are often caused or contributed to by a high stress lifestyle.

But here’s the amazing part: These diseases all are preventable if diagnosed early. HealthWISE Wellness Diagnostic Center in Dublin uses the latest technology available anywhere to find these diseases in their earliest stages. These tests are non-invasive, safe and painless and can be completed in minutes.

These tests include cardiovascular testing of the heart/vascular system for cardiovascular disease including a heart scan to predict cardiac risk and a full vascular scan, which includes a heart scan and also allows assessment of the peripheral cardiovascular system as well as the lungs and more; a non-invasive, “virtual colonoscopy” screening test for color cancer; visceral body fat analysis (which defines risk for diabetes and hypertension); a bone scan for osteoporosis; and a high-resolution lung scan for early detection of lung cancer.

Discount pricing is available for Columbus Bar members. Many of these services are covered by insurance or are a great way to use your Flexible Health Spending Account to maintain your good health or get some peace of mind.

If you have questions about any of these benefits, contact Emily Eastin at the Columbus Bar at 614/221.4112 or emily@cbalaw.org or visit the HealthWISE website at www.healthwisecenter.com.
