Travel Medicine for the Modern Executive: Health Tips for the Frequent Traveler

Marshall Medical Group • April 10, 2025

For today’s business executives and frequent flyers, travel is a way of life. But with long flights, changing time zones, unfamiliar food, and varying healthcare standards around the world, staying healthy on the go can be a challenge.


At Marshall Lifestyle Medicine, we offer comprehensive travel medicine services designed specifically for busy professionals. Whether you’re preparing for a trip across the country or halfway around the globe, our concierge care model ensures you have direct access to your physician—anytime, anywhere.



Let’s explore how concierge medicine can support your travel lifestyle and what steps you can take to protect your health while away from home.

The Challenges of Frequent Travel

Executives who travel often are exposed to a unique set of health risks, including:


  • Jet lag and poor sleep quality
  • Digestive issues from unfamiliar foods or irregular meals
  • Airborne illnesses on planes or in crowded places
  • Dehydration and fatigue
  • Limited access to quality medical care abroad
  • Exposure to infectious diseases in certain regions


These issues can derail productivity and impact your long-term health if not addressed proactively.



How Concierge Medicine Supports Travelers

With concierge medicine at Marshall Medical Group, our patients enjoy 24/7 access to their physician—a critical benefit for frequent travelers. Whether you need a last-minute prescription, health documentation, or virtual support while abroad, we’re here for you.

Concierge Travel Benefits Include:


  • Pre-travel health consultations and vaccinations
  • Rapid access to care for urgent concerns abroad
  • Prescription management and international pharmacy coordination
  • Travel documentation, including vaccine records and fit-to-fly letters
  • Personalized wellness advice to keep you feeling your best on the road


Pre-Travel Checklist: Stay Ahead of Health Issues

1. Schedule a Pre-Travel Health Visit

We recommend visiting your physician 4–6 weeks before international travel. During this appointment, we can:


  • Review your itinerary and associated health risks
  • Recommend and administer travel vaccines (e.g., hepatitis A/B, typhoid, yellow fever)
  • Prescribe preventative medications for altitude sickness, malaria, or traveler’s diarrhea
  • Update your regular immunizations
✈️ Pro Tip: Even domestic travel can impact chronic health conditions—let’s ensure your prescriptions and care plans are up to date before you leave.


2. Pack a Travel Health Kit

We’ll help you assemble a custom travel kit based on your destination and needs. It may include:


  • Prescription medications
  • Rehydration salts
  • Motion sickness or altitude sickness meds
  • Antidiarrheal or antimalarial treatments
  • First-aid essentials


3. Consider Travel Health Insurance

In case of emergencies abroad, travel health insurance or medical evacuation coverage can be a wise investment. We can advise you on your options and what type of coverage makes the most sense.



On-the-Go Wellness: Tips for Staying Healthy in Transit

Whether you’re hopping time zones or sitting through long meetings, try these tips to stay well:



  • Hydrate often—air travel and stress dehydrate the body
  • Stick to a sleep routine to minimize jet lag
  • Avoid heavy meals and alcohol during flights
  • Move regularly to prevent blood clots (try in-seat leg stretches or walking the cabin)
  • Bring healthy snacks to maintain stable blood sugar
  • Use sanitizing wipes on plane surfaces and hotel remotes
