Lifestyle History

How is your lifestyle related to your health profile? Lifestyle has an impact on our stress levels, what environments our bodies are exposed to, what we eat, how much exercise we get, how well we sleep, and many more health factors. Our lifestyle directly affects and shapes the way we look at life and how we incorporate healthy choices into our schedules. If we spend a lot of time working or commuting, we have less time and energy for exercise, are more likely to make quick, unhealthy eating decisions, and experience more symptoms related to stress. The effects of stress on our health are significant and important to both understand and manage. Even those of us with a low-stress lifestyle need to integrate how we live our life with our health goals. For example, if we try to integrate a new fitness routine that doesn't include activities we love to do, we are less likely to stick with it. Lifestyle and health go hand-in-hand.

Create a Comprehensive Lifestyle History
Create a comprehensive, integrated lifestyle history to share with your health professionals. It can be difficult to know what is important and most critical to share with our health and fitness advisors. Providing a detailed history of your health and lifestyle can help them build a tailored plan and personalized assessment to get you on the right path. Taking a more integrative approach to health management makes you more informed, the first step in becoming your own best health advocate. Our Lifestyle History features provides members with a way to log details about their lifestyle and exercise habits with a way to associate conditions, procedures, medications, and other profile areas to each other for a more integrated view of your health.

Generate Lifestyle History Reports
Personalized lifestyle reports are available so you can share them with health professionals or save them in your documents folder. Be steps ahead of the rest and help your health advisors get the most comprehensive health assessment and history available. All of the reports are generated in PDF format, making it easy to save, print, or email.

Learn more about the many powerful features available in Lifestyle History:

Education: Your level of education and current education schedules can impact your overall health.
Exposures: One of the most direct impacts to your health can be the types of environments you are subjected to on a regular or isolated basis. From chemicals and other health hazards to second-hand smoke or pollutants, our health is linked to the places we spend time. Even healthy activities have health exposures that could be significant to our overall health.
Hobbies and Recreation: Do you ever consider the impact of hobbies and recreational activities on your health? These activities help keep us active and mold the way we look at our lives. They also provide significant stress-relievers and can be associated with both positive and negative health indicators.
Occupations and Volunteer Work: Stress levels are significantly impacted at our job and at social events. Is it influencing your health in positive or negative ways? Does volunteering help you feel better about yourself? Does your job make you feel overwhelmed or highly stressed? Did you begin experiencing certain symptoms after you changed jobs? Or did some of your conditions improve now that you left your high-stress position?
Residences: Do you move around often or have you lived in the same home your entire life? Moving is one of the most stressful activities we go through, often comparable to the stress of losing a job. Where we live, from our neighbors to our location, can all have impacts on our overall health.
Schedule: How active are you during the day? Log your schedule from wake time to bedtime. See how your schedule might be helping or hurting your health.
Travel: Crossing time zones and being exposed to new foods and environments can affect our health and habits. It is harder to make healthy lifestyle choices when we are traveling and our surroundings are regularly changing. All forms of travel, especially international travel, expose our bodies to new health conditions. Tracking your travel history could help reveal a significant correlation to a health condition. Did your digestive problems start after a trip overseas? Or have you been sleeping better since your trip to that tropical island?
