SHIFT is a River North concierge practice built around a full-day executive physical followed by twelve months of medical care. Four physicians are named alongside two physical therapists, a registered dietitian and a nurse. The assessment day runs labs, a DEXA scan, VO2 max, an EKG and vision and hearing screening, and members can add cancer, genomic and biological-age testing.

Tests and services

Everything SHIFT lists

14 tests and services across 7 kinds of care

People come here for

Whole-body baseline, Cancer risk & screening, Genetics & biological age, Strength, fitness & body composition, Gut & digestive health and Advanced diagnostics & emerging care.

Advanced laboratory testing & biomarkers

Labs & biomarkers

Advanced lipid panel: Measures ApoB, Lp(a) and particle counts, which a standard cholesterol panel misses.

Cancer-detection testing

Imaging & screening

Multi-cancer early detection blood test: Screens one blood draw for signals of 50+ cancers.
Skin cancer screening: Examines skin and moles for cancer, sometimes with imaging.

Genetics, inherited risk & biological age

Labs & biomarkers

Genetic & genomic testing: Reads DNA for inherited risk and drug response.
Biological age testing: Estimates aging pace from epigenetic markers.

Fitness, strength & body-composition assessment

Fitness & tracking

DEXA scan: Measures bone density, lean mass and visceral fat precisely.
VO₂ max testing: Measures cardiorespiratory fitness, the strongest exercise predictor of longevity.
Strength, mobility & balance testing: Measures grip strength, movement quality and fall risk.

Gut & digestive testing

Labs & biomarkers

Gut microbiome testing: Profiles gut bacteria to guide digestive care.

Preventive screening & executive assessment

What gets measured

The testing panel

As the clinic describes it. Marker counts are not measured the same way from clinic to clinic, so they are not comparable between profiles.

What it coversBlood count, metabolic panel, lipids, thyroid, A1C, vitamin D, ferritin, PSA and urinalysis · Body composition by DEXA · Cardiorespiratory fitness by VO2 max · Cardiac electrical activity by EKG · Vision and hearing · Movement and gait · Skin lesion evaluation · Advanced lipids, inflammation and insulin resistance · Cardiovascular genetic risk · Multi-cancer early detection · Biological age and pace of aging · Gut microbiome · Whole genome sequencing

Where the sample is takenTesting is published as delivered in-house at the River North facility, with the practice stating that it provides preventive health tests and advanced diagnostic screenings in-house, without the need for a referral.
