Philosophy in Action
|
Scienta Health was created because our North American health care system is anything but.
It is a disease care system.
Disease care is deeply entrenched in our medical education, delivery systems
and institutions, payment and insurance practices and in our own conditioning.

Why wait until we are ill before we take action, allowing chronic conditions to worsen? Why not rather prevent what we now have to cure? Why rely on diagnostic and screening procedures that are outdated, yielding results that are one part trial and error and one part educated guessing, when new science offers us more probing and precise insights?
Your continuing good health need no longer be a function of chance, of beating the odds. Especially when you can reduce those odds easily and dramatically.
We believe the time has come when you can manage your own health. You can
reduce the risk of disease by using the latest science. You can stay healthy by
preventing illness, reinforcing wellness, and working with the best professional
advisors around. In other words, you can own your own health. In other words, you can own your own health.
Scienta Health was founded in 2004 to put this philosophy into action.

Scienta
is a “dream come true” and has changed our family’s health world.
Its preventative approach has given me the confidence and direction
to adjust how I manage my way of life. The program is
understandable, the staff outstanding and the solutions are
responsive and timely. It is the health care system we all dream
about but believed unattainable in Canada. Well, guess what, it is
here, it is available and it’s called Scienta.”

We are one of the few resources anywhere in North America to provide this
very different and highly effective kind of personalized health management.
While the Scienta Health model is relatively new to the market, it is not new to
common sense:
It is founded on five principles:
- Symptom-free peak health. Helping you attain and sustain peak health and
performance.
-
Prevention.
Applying 21st Century science to identify your risks of devastating disease and detect any developing problems very early - before symptoms manifest and while it’s still possible to cure.
- You are unique.
‘One Size Fits All’ makes no sense for your health. Genetic science is here – powerful new discoveries lie ahead, but we already know enough to fundamentally change our approach to managing health. As a world-leading early adopter of preventive genetic analysis, we are committed to pursuing an informed, individualized approach to nutrition and lifestyle practices and to precision-based prescription of medications – eliminating the “trial and error” medicine that renders over 60% of drugs prescribed to be ineffectual or even harmful.
- Integrating all the pieces for you.
We live in an era of specialty and sub-specialty medicine. Who is looking out for the “whole person”, especially when one is critically ill? Most physicians have little training in fundamentals of nutrition and fitness. Healthcare is mired in a world of specialization ‘silos’. We in Scienta Health believe that everything begins with you, the customer – you are entitled to know and understand and to make your choices based on sound, integrated and understandable advice. Each health discipline has something to offer – they need to be integrated intelligently. All should work from the same diagnostic analysis in a coordinated way – no silos, no conflicting advice and all science-based.
- Personal responsibility – you own your health! We can assess you. We can help you. We can give
you everything you need to take charge of your own health. But the rest is up to you. Fortunately, taking charge is much easier when you have real information, proven programs, and expert, thoughtful, highly-responsive health advisors to keep you on track and happy.
