Medicine 3.0
Managing Your HealthSpan for the Next Thirty Years

If you're only concerned with whether you're sick today, you're already too late.

​

Preventing chronic disease and extending healthspan is a long game—and sadly, no one is talking about managing health for the next 20, 30 years. Yet your body is sending signals now. Subtle warnings that conventional medicine often dismisses as "normal for your age."

​

This is the fundamental limitation of what physician Peter Attia calls Medicine 2.0—our current healthcare system that excels at treating acute emergencies but struggles with prevention. Medicine 2.0 waits until you're diabetic to intervene. It waits until you've had a heart attack to get serious about cardiovascular health. It manages disease after it appears rather than preventing it before it starts.

​

Medicine 3.0 takes a different approach. It asks: what do your numbers today tell us about your health in twenty or even thirty years from now? What interventions now will keep you vital, energetic, and independent in your seventies and eighties?

​

Signs You Need Medicine 3.0

Your cholesterol story doesn't add up — Your doctor says your numbers are "borderline" but never ordered apolipoprotein B, the most predictive cardiovascular marker. You're being offered medication without understanding the root cause.

​

• You're prediabetic (or headed that way) — Your hemoglobin A1C is creeping up to 5.6 or 5.7%. Your doctor says you're "fine," but nobody's checked your fasting insulin, which predicts diabetes years earlier.

• Your body isn't doing what it used to — You're sore for days after activities that used to be easy. Stairs leave you winded. Sleep is disrupted. These aren't just signs of aging—they're modifiable with the right interventions.

• Chronic symptoms nobody can explain — You're exhausted despite sleeping eight hours. Digestive issues your gastroenterologist calls "probably IBS." Joint pain, headaches, brain fog. Everything tests "normal," but you don't feel normal.

• Family history that worries you — Your father had a heart attack at fifty-eight. Your mother developed diabetes. You're watching your parents' health decline and thinking: I don't want that to be me.

• You're successful in every area except your health — You've built a career, raised a family, invested for retirement. Now you're ready to bring that same intentionality to your health and optimize for the long term.

• Weight that won't budge despite your efforts — You've tried low carb, intermittent fasting, more exercise. Nothing works. Your body feels like it's working against you—because underlying metabolic dysfunction is sabotaging your efforts.

Why Choose Dignity Integrative?

 

• 25 Years of Clinical Experience: Before founding Dignity Integrative, and in addition to his training as an integrative medicine physicians, Dr. Falcone spent a quarter century as an emergency medicine physician. He understands acute medicine—and he's seen firsthand how our healthcare system fails at prevention.

• Comprehensive Baseline Testing: We establish detailed baselines across metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, hormonal balance, inflammatory status, and nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Falcone orders tests most primary care doctors never consider—fasting insulin, apolipoprotein B, comprehensive thyroid panels with antibodies, vitamin and mineral levels, inflammatory markers.

• Dedicated Health Coaching: Every patient partners with  our certified health coach for monthly follow-up sessions. Implementing changes to nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management requires ongoing support—not just a handout at the end of one visit.

• Long-Term Partnership: We track your health trajectory over years, not just across a few appointments. Follow-up testing in three to six months shows whether interventions are working. Adjustments happen as your circumstances change. New issues get caught early, when prevention is still possible.

• Time That Matters: Initial consultations run 90 minutes to two hours. Lab review appointments are 30-45 minutes of detailed discussion. This isn't medicine squeezed into 15-minute slots—it's the time required to truly understand you and optimize your health for the next thirty years.​​
