Who This Is For

The Summit Assessment is built for individuals who:

  • Operate at a high cognitive, physical, or leadership level
  • Make decisions under pressure
  • Cannot afford preventable health decline
  • Want early detection, not late diagnosis
  • Think in strategies, not symptoms

If your health is an asset, it deserves the same rigor you apply to everything else.

Where Answers Start

The Summit Assessment: the deepest look at your health you've ever had.

Before we treat anything, we map everything. The Summit Assessment is our comprehensive evaluation — advanced labs, functional testing, and a full review of your history — analyzed by physicians with the time to connect the patterns everyone else missed.

50 +

health indicators analyzed to find the root cause of your symptoms — for lifelong health

Sate-of-the-Art Physiologic Testing Suite

The Summit Assessment integrates best-in-class diagnostics to evaluate how your body actually functions under load.

The James Clinic Standard

We don’t wait for failure. We don’t rely on averages. We don’t guess.

We assess. We analyze. We plan.

We look at:

  • What is trending
  • What systems are under strain
  • What is likely to fail next if unaddressed
  • Where leverage exists to course-correct early

Because for high-achievers, health isn’t about comfort. It’s about capacity.

What the Summit Assessment Includes

Intake & Pre-Assessment Review

  • Your performance demands
  • Cognitive and physical stressors
  • Travel, sleep, and recovery patterns
  • Past medical and family history
  • Current symptoms and blind spots

Comprehensive Advanced Lab

  • Metabolic resilience
  • Cardiovascular risk
  • Inflammatory burden
  • Hormone optimization
  • Nutrient status
  • Thyroid performance
  • Longevity and risk markers

 

Brain Gauge® Neuro Assessment

Objective measurement of neural processing speed, accuracy, and cortical efficiency.
We assess the hard wiring of your brain, not subjective questionnaires

Multi-Function Cardiogram (MCG)

FDA-cleared early cardiac risk grading with pattern analysis across functional cardiac domains.
Ideal for identifying functional cardiac stress before structural disease appears.

GlycoCheck® Microvascular Assessment

Direct evaluation of glycocalyx and capillary health—the foundation of:

  • Cognitive performance
  • Cardiac output
  • Renal function
  • Peripheral circulation

This is where organ performance begins or degrades.

FibroScan® Liver Assessment

Early detection and grading of fatty liver and fibrosis.
The liver is a metabolic command center—and one of the earliest systems to signal trouble.

VO₂ Max & Metabolic Performance Testing

Gold-standard assessment of aerobic capacity, metabolic efficiency, and physiologic reserve.
One of the strongest predictors of long-term survival and performance capacity.

InBody® Body Composition Analysis

Detailed evaluation of lean mass, fat mass, visceral fat, and cellular hydration—far beyond BMI.

Questions about Summit Wellness ?

The Summit Assessment is not complete until analysis is complete.

You will receive:

  • A comprehensive physician-led debrief
  • Integrated interpretation across all systems
  • Identification of near-term (3–6 month) risks
  • Long-term trajectory analysis
  • A tactical, prioritized health action plan

Not a binder.
Not a dashboard.
A clear operational roadmap.

Most executive physicals:

  • Emphasize imaging and routine labs
  • Miss functional and early physiologic decline
  • Offer reassurance without strategy
  • Provide no actionable follow-through

The Summit Assessment is:

  • Predictive, not reactive
  • Functional, not superficial
  • Integrated, not siloed
  • Tactical, not theoretical

This is health intelligence, not health theater.

The Summit Assessment is designed to uncover:

  • Early cardiovascular and microvascular stress
  • Cognitive inefficiencies before decline
  • Metabolic dysfunction before diabetes
  • Hormonal drift before burnout
  • Inflammatory load before disease
  • Recovery gaps before breakdown

These are interceptable windows—if you know where to look.

Some individuals use the Summit Assessment as a standalone intelligence briefing.

Others choose to:

  • Enter concierge care
  • Implement a longer-term optimization strategy
  • Monitor progress over time

There is no pressure to enroll.
But for those who do, the Summit Assessment becomes the baseline blueprint for ongoing performance medicine.

Our Philosophy

Predict, Prepare, Perform

Traditional medicine reacts. The Summit Assessment anticipates.

I love the James Clinic and everyone there! I have learned so much about how to improve my health and not just how to treat my symptoms. They are so real there. They talk to you. They engage on a personal level and really care about my health and wellness. I feel very in control of my healthcare rather than being controlled by the provider or insurance company. I highly recommend this clinic and its providers!!

I cannot say enough positive things about Dr James and her entire staff. We work primarily with Sara Taylor, NP, and she has been nothing short of amazing. Our whole family, including my two teenage boys, have been with them for over a year now and we are thankful every day that we found them. One of my teenage sons has ASD, on top of numerous health issues and the attention Sara and the team has given to help him has been life changing!

In addition to being incredibly knowledgable, I really appreciate the care Kate takes with her patients. It's very valuable to me that they are functional medicine physicians/NPs at this practice vs those who wear the doctor title without having medical training.

NPs Justina Timms and Sarah Taylor are always incredibly well prepared, knowledgeable and take all the time needed to explain labs and test results to me in ways that I can understand. Their professionalism and expertise continue to astound me. They also check in after procedures or explanations with well documented follow up. In addition, every nurse at the clinic is warm, friendly, personable, knowledgeable and professional to the Nth degree! Theresa, Michelle, Whitney, Lauren, Brenda, Mary and Chelsea all work hard and are extremely timely when completing procedures such as HBOT and MDI treatments. I have nothing but the highest regard for the James Clinic and all who work there including their lead Dr. Mollie James. My gratitude runs deep for their services.

You deserve answers. Let's go find them.

One free, unhurried conversation — your story, your symptoms, and an honest assessment of whether we can help.
