When you hear the term "executive physical," it might conjure up images of elite athletes or high-powered CEOs—but the truth is, a Platinum Physical isn’t just for professionals at the top of their game. It’s for anyone who wants to take control of their health with precision, early detection, and personalized insights that go far beyond a standard annual check-up.
At Novo Wellness Center in Aiken and Hilton Head Island, we’ve reimagined preventive care for everyday people who want more from their wellness journey.
A Platinum Physical is an advanced medical assessment designed to catch health issues before they become problems. It includes expanded lab work, imaging, cardiovascular and metabolic screening, hormone testing, and in-depth time with a provider to interpret results and create an action plan.
But here’s what makes it different from a traditional physical:
“A standard physical might last 15 minutes. Our Platinum Physical can take up to two hours—because your health deserves more than a quick glance,” says Dr. J. Clinkinbeard, Medical Director at Novo Wellness.
This comprehensive approach gives patients the clarity and confidence they need to make smarter decisions for their future, whether they’re managing chronic fatigue, struggling with weight loss, or just want to feel better in their own skin.
Think you need to be a triathlete to justify this kind of testing? Think again.
Our patients include:
Parents juggling family and career who haven’t had time to prioritize their health
Adults over 40 wanting to be proactive about aging
Young professionals managing stress, insomnia, or low energy
Retirees looking to stay active, independent, and sharp
Many people in the Carolinas are surprised to learn that a Platinum Physical is often covered by insurance, depending on the services included. We perform an eligibility review before your first appointment and help minimize out-of-pocket costs whenever possible.
“I assumed it was just for executives or athletes,” shares Mike, a Hilton Head resident in his 50s. “But after my Platinum Physical, I caught a blood sugar issue early and made lifestyle changes that likely prevented diabetes.”
The exact components can vary based on your needs, but most Platinum Physicals include:
Extensive lab panels (including advanced lipid, inflammatory, and hormone markers)
Cardiovascular risk screening (EKG, vascular ultrasound, or coronary calcium scoring when appropriate)
Body composition and metabolic analysis
Hormone and thyroid panel
Nutritional deficiencies and toxic exposures
In-depth provider review and a personalized health roadmap
Depending on your results, we may integrate additional services such as IV therapy, regenerative medicine, peptide protocols, or referrals to specialists.
In both Aiken and Hilton Head Island, we’ve seen a growing demand for personalized, preventive care that moves away from “sick care” and toward proactive health planning. Our Platinum Physicals are part of a broader movement toward patient-centered care—where your wellness journey is based on data, collaboration, and prevention.
A 2022 study published in Preventive Medicine Reports found that people who undergo comprehensive health assessments have improved health literacy, increased compliance with lifestyle changes, and significantly better outcomes in managing chronic diseases.
“Preventive care isn’t a luxury. It’s a smart, long-term investment in your health,” says Dr. Clinkinbeard.
Whether you’re a retiree in Hilton Head who golfs weekly, or a busy Aiken resident splitting time between work and family, a Platinum Physical can help align your healthcare with your lifestyle.
In fact, many of our local patients say the biggest surprise is how much information they were missing in previous annual exams. Our longer consultations allow us to explore concerns like:
Chronic stress and cortisol imbalance
Early signs of hormonal decline
Sleep issues and circadian disruption
Subclinical thyroid dysfunction
Elevated inflammatory markers linked to chronic disease
Here’s how to prepare for your Platinum Physical at Novo Wellness:
Fast for 8–12 hours before labs, unless otherwise advised
Bring a list of supplements and medications you’re currently taking
Complete your pre-visit forms to help us understand your goals
Be ready for an open, relaxed conversation—this is your time
Our team will handle the coordination of lab work, insurance review, and follow-up planning.
Investing in your health doesn’t require a corporate title or Olympic medal. Whether you're in Aiken or Hilton Head, a Platinum Physical at Novo Wellness Center can give you the insight and support to live with more energy, clarity, and confidence.
