Optimal Medical Group

Optimal Medical Group Understand all of the elements that make up your total health.

Juan Chavez, MD and Lucia Mireles-Chavez, MD, FAAP have been practicing medicine for more than 15 years in Central California. Both have developed a deep appreciation for the need for Preventative and Restorative Age Management Medicine centered on evidence-based medical research. After years of training and the realization that consumers in Fresno were traveling to Beverly Hills and San Francisco

for services, the couple envisioned and opened Optimal Medical Group in Northwest Fresno. This exciting new Medical Practice provides a wide-range of services for the people of the Central Valley to experience Age Management Medicine. The philosophy of the medical practice includes: balancing the whole body through nutrition, exercise and hormone optimization. The couple says, "We practice these same strategies and plans in our lives and have seen a remarkable difference in our overall health and that of our families. We invite you to visit our website or give a call to learn more about the incredible opportunities available to you right here in our Valley."

Women Make Testosterone Too, and the Level Affects Strength and Drive.

Testosterone is the most abundant active s*x hormone in a woman's body, and optimizing it changes how strong and motivated she feels.

It circulates at lower concentrations than in men and does substantial work. Testosterone builds lean muscle, maintains bone density, sharpens focus and motivation, and drives a significant share of libido.

Levels decline gradually through the thirties and forties, well before menopause, and the change is slow enough to be blamed on a busy schedule rather than a measurable number.

The useful measurements are free testosterone and DHEA-S, which stands for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. DHEA-S is the adrenal precursor your body converts into testosterone, so reading them together shows the supply and the result.

The OMG Hormone Optimization Program measures both and uses Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) to bring them into range.

Strength and drive are measurable too.

Visceral Fat is the Only Fat That Behaves Like an Organ.

Losing the fat around your organs delivers the fastest health return available in weight loss, and it can be measured in grams.

Subcutaneous fat sits under the skin and stores energy. Visceral fat packs around the liver, pancreas, and intestines, and it is metabolically active tissue that releases inflammatory signals into your bloodstream and drives insulin resistance.

A DEXA scan quantifies it directly, separate from everything else on your frame.

The encouraging part is how quickly it responds. Visceral fat is often the first thing to move under a proper plan, well before the scale reflects much.

Your Thyroid Panel is Probably Missing Thyroid Antibodies.

Feeling energetic, sharp, and comfortably warm depends on thyroid testing that goes past the one number most panels report.

Nearly every thyroid screen starts and stops with TSH, a pituitary signal that tells you how loudly your brain is asking the thyroid to work. Free T4 and Free T3 show what the gland produces and what your cells can use.

The piece almost nobody orders is thyroid antibodies. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, written TPO, and thyroglobulin antibodies reveal whether your immune system is targeting the gland itself. That is autoimmune thyroid disease, and it is the most common cause of thyroid dysfunction.

Antibodies often appear years before hormone levels shift, which makes them the earliest signal available. Finding them early means the gland can be monitored and supported while it is still working well.

The OMG Hormone Optimization Program includes them before Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) begins.

Test the gland, not just the signal.

How Men Get the Strongest Results From the P-Shot®.

The men who see the biggest change approach the treatment as a plan rather than a single appointment.

The P-Shot®, short for Priapus Shot®, uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate new blood vessel growth. Each treatment lays down a vascular network, and the next one builds on what is already there.

That is why the results compound. Circulation improves, the tissue holds the improvement, and the following session starts from a stronger position than the first one did.

Optimizing hormones and blood sugar alongside the treatment raises the ceiling further, because healthy tissue responds to growth factors more readily.

Grip Strength Predicts Your Odds Better Than Blood Pressure Does.

A test that takes under a minute tells your physician more about your long term health than most of what happens at an annual visit.

The instrument is a handgrip dynamometer. You squeeze it, and it reports your force in kilograms. That figure reflects total body muscle quality, nerve efficiency, and how well your system recovers, which is why it tracks so closely with long term outcomes.

In a study following nearly 140,000 adults across seventeen countries, grip strength outperformed systolic blood pressure as a predictor of mortality.

The reason it earns a place in your chart is that it responds. Resistance training raises it at any age, and the next reading confirms the gain in a number you can see.

The OMG Signature Concierge Longevity Program measures it at baseline and repeats it alongside your body composition.

One minute, one number, decades of information.

Your Metabolism is Measurable. Most People Never Measure It.

The number of calories your body burns at rest can be measured directly, and knowing it changes how a weight loss plan is built.

The test is called indirect calorimetry. You breathe into a mask for about ten minutes while an analyzer reads the oxygen you consume and the carbon dioxide you produce. That ratio reveals your resting metabolic rate and whether you are burning primarily fat or carbohydrate at rest.

Online calculators estimate the same number from height, weight, age, and s*x. Real people vary from those estimates by several hundred calories in either direction, driven largely by how much lean muscle they carry.

That gap matters. A target set too high stalls progress. A target set too low costs you muscle and slows the rate further.

The OMG Medical Weight Loss Program builds your calorie and protein targets from your measured rate in both OMG Lean and OMG Lite.

Precision beats estimation every time.

The Omega-3 Index Measures What a Fish Oil Label Cannot.

A bottle tells you what you swallowed. This test tells you what actually reached your cells.

The Omega-3 Index reports EPA and DHA, the two long chain omega-3 fatty acids, as a percentage of the total fat in your red blood cell membranes. Because those cells turn over across months, the result reflects your real intake over time rather than what you took yesterday.

That distinction matters. Absorption varies widely between people, and two individuals taking identical doses can land in very different places.

An index at eight percent or higher is associated with the most favorable cardiovascular outcomes. Most people who have never measured come in well below that, and the gap closes predictably once the dose is matched to the starting number.

The OMG Signature Concierge Longevity Program measures it at baseline and confirms the change on your next draw.

Measure the level, then match the dose.

hs-CRP Finds the Inflammation That Cholesterol Numbers Miss.

Two people can have identical cholesterol results and very different cardiac futures, and one inexpensive test explains much of the difference.

High sensitivity C-reactive protein, written hs-CRP, measures low grade inflammation throughout your body. Inflammation is what makes an artery wall receptive to plaque. Particles supply the material and inflammation opens the door.

The standard version of this test was built to detect infection. The high sensitivity version reads the far lower range that predicts cardiovascular events, which is why the ordinary version is not interchangeable.

The encouraging part is how responsive it is. Training, better body composition, and targeted nutrition move it within months, so your next draw confirms the plan is working.

The OMG Signature Concierge Longevity Program measures hs-CRP at baseline and tracks it alongside your particle count.

Inflammation is measurable, and it responds.

Who is the Right Candidate for the P-Shot®?

The men who see the strongest results have one thing in common, and it is not their age.

The P-Shot®, short for Priapus Shot®, uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from your own blood to stimulate new vessel formation. That process depends on the biology already in place, which is why the evaluation comes before the treatment.

Free testosterone matters, because hormone levels influence how tissue responds to repair signals. Hemoglobin A1c matters, because steady blood sugar protects the small vessels doing the work. Blood pressure rounds out the picture.

Good candidates are men in generally good health who want stronger, more reliable performance and are willing to have those numbers optimized alongside the treatment.

DHEA-S is the Hormone Precursor Most Panels Skip.

One adrenal hormone supplies the raw material for much of what testosterone and estrogen accomplish, and it is rarely measured.

DHEA-S stands for dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. Your adrenal glands produce it in larger quantities than any other steroid hormone, and your body converts it into testosterone and estrogen in the tissues that need them.

Production peaks in your twenties and declines steadily from there. By fifty, levels are a fraction of what they once were, and the change goes unnoticed because nothing on a routine panel is looking for it.

Measuring DHEA-S explains outcomes that a testosterone number alone leaves unaccounted for. Two people with identical testosterone can convert and use it very differently depending on what the adrenal supply looks like underneath.

The OMG Hormone Optimization Program measures it before Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) begins.

Optimize the supply, not just the output.
