PHYSICIAN-LED PREVENTIVE HEALTH
Preventive Health in Mallorca
Understand Your Health Before Problems Become More Complex.
Preventive health begins with understanding the individual — not simply ordering more tests.
At Galatzó Health, Dr. Indhira Ghyssaert provides personalised medical assessment to help identify relevant health factors, review existing medical information and determine which investigations or follow-up may be appropriate for each patient.

PREVENTION STARTS WITH CONTEXT
Preventive Health Is More Than a Check-Up
A preventive health assessment should not simply consist of completing the largest possible panel of tests.
Medical history, family history, previous investigations, medications, nutrition, lifestyle and individual health concerns can all help determine which areas deserve attention.
The objective is to identify medically relevant questions and decide whether further assessment, monitoring or investigation may be appropriate.
Assess individually.
Investigate appropriately.
Follow what matters.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH ASSESSMENT
What Should Your Preventive Health Assessment Consider?
Good preventive medicine is not about testing everything. It is about understanding which aspects of your health deserve attention based on your individual context.
Explore a few questions that can help illustrate what an individual preventive health assessment may consider.
Private assessment · Answers are not submitted or stored
YOUR REASON FOR ASSESSMENT
What has led you to think about your health proactively?
Preventive healthcare can be relevant even when there are no current symptoms.
This assessment is for orientation only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, risk assessment or treatment recommendations.
Your answers are not submitted, stored or transferred to the consultation request form.
Medical recommendations, including whether laboratory testing or other investigations may be appropriate, can only be made following an appropriate individual medical assessment.
Persistent, unexplained or concerning symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation. Urgent or severe symptoms require urgent medical care.
YOUR HEALTH IN CONTEXT
What Can a Preventive Health Assessment Consider?
Depending on the individual patient and clinical context, assessment may include consideration of areas such as:
Cardiovascular Health
Relevant risk factors, previous results and appropriate cardiovascular markers may be considered within the wider medical context.
Metabolic Health
Glucose regulation, metabolic markers and other relevant factors may be assessed where clinically appropriate.
Nutrition & Micronutrient Status
Dietary context and selected nutritional markers may be considered when medically relevant.
Hormonal & Thyroid Health
Relevant hormonal or thyroid investigations may be considered according to symptoms, history and clinical assessment.
Energy & Fatigue
Persistent changes in energy can have many possible contributors and deserve individual medical assessment.
Sleep & Recovery
Sleep quality, recovery and related health factors may form part of the broader medical discussion.
Healthy Ageing
Long-term health can be considered through relevant medical, metabolic and lifestyle factors.
Existing Laboratory Results
Previous blood tests and medical reports can be reviewed in their appropriate clinical context.
These examples do not represent a fixed screening programme. Appropriate assessment and investigation depend on the individual patient and clinical circumstances.
A MEDICAL PROCESS
From Preventive Assessment to Meaningful Action
01 · Medical Consultation
Your medical history, current health, relevant family history, previous investigations and individual objectives are discussed.
02 · Individual Risk Context
Clinically relevant factors are considered to identify areas that may deserve further attention.
03 · Appropriate Investigation
Where medically indicated, laboratory testing or other investigations may be recommended based on the individual assessment.
04 · Follow-Up
Results and findings are interpreted in context and appropriate next steps can be discussed, including monitoring, lifestyle considerations, treatment where medically indicated or specialist referral.
APPROPRIATE TESTING
Not Every Patient Needs the Same Tests
Preventive care should not be based on testing everything simply because testing is available.
The value of laboratory investigation depends on asking an appropriate medical question.
Dr. Ghyssaert considers which investigations may provide clinically useful information based on the individual patient, rather than relying on a predetermined testing package.
When laboratory testing is appropriate, results are interpreted alongside the patient’s medical history and wider clinical context.
More data is not always better medicine.
BEYOND LABORATORY VALUES
Health Cannot Be Understood Through Numbers Alone
Laboratory results can provide valuable information, but they represent only one part of a medical assessment.
Nutrition, metabolic health, sleep, physical activity, medications, medical history, symptoms and other relevant factors may all contribute to understanding an individual’s health.
At Galatzó Health, these elements are considered together where clinically appropriate.
This is what we mean by taking a 360° view of health.
The 360° approach describes how relevant information is considered together. It is not a separate medical specialty.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH WITHOUT SYMPTOMS
Do I Need to Feel Unwell to Request an Assessment?
No.
Some patients seek medical assessment because they have specific symptoms or concerns. Others want to review their current health, existing laboratory results or relevant risk factors even when they feel well.
The appropriate scope of a preventive assessment depends on factors such as medical history, age, family history, previous results and individual clinical circumstances.
Preventive assessment does not guarantee that future illness can be predicted or prevented.
LONG-TERM HEALTH
Preventive Health and Healthy Ageing
Healthy ageing is not about promising to stop or reverse the ageing process.
From a medical perspective, long-term health can involve understanding relevant risk factors, maintaining appropriate medical follow-up and addressing modifiable health factors where clinically appropriate.
Depending on the individual, this may include consideration of metabolic health, cardiovascular health, nutrition, sleep, physical activity and other relevant medical factors.
The objective is not to predict the future.
It is to make better-informed health decisions today.
