Lipid Profile

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in your blood. High levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. We conduct a blood test using the latest technology to screen you for 5 different types of cholesterol. 50% of the UK population have undiagnosed high cholesterol.

HbA1c

HbA1c is a diabetes test looking at your average blood glucose (sugar) levels for the last two to three months. Diabetes is one of the most common diseases in the UK effecting 5 million people. There are also over half a million people with undiagnosed diabetes meaning they have too much sugar in their blood.

Iron Level

Iron deficiency (anaemia) can result from inadequate intake of iron, a lack of absorption or blood loss e.g. menstruation or injury. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen around the body. Fatigue and tiredness are usually an indication of anaemia. This test looks at the 4 different types of protein in the blood that contain iron. If these are too low, that could be a sign of iron deficiency.

Liver Function

Liver function tests are a group of tests that give information about the state of your liver. The liver can become damaged through unhealthy lifestyle choices including obesity and excessive alcohol consumption. This test will help us assess your liver’s current health. After this test we will help you take proactive measures to protect your liver and prevent any complications in the future. Click here to learn more

Kidney Function

Your kidneys are responsible for filtering your blood and removing waste products through your urine. Blood and urine tests show how well the kidneys are doing their job and how quickly body wastes are being removed. This test is a measure of how well the kidneys are removing wastes and excess fluid from the blood. This is done through a blood test which will be sent to a laboratory for testing.

Bone Profile & Gout

A bone profile consists of 6 different tests including calcium, albumin, phosphate, uric acid, ALP and protein. These nutrients play a vital role in bone structure and density. If these are lower than normal, that could be a sign of bone disease such as osteoporosis or other bone related diseases.

Urinalysis

A urinalysis is a test of your urine. A urinalysis is used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as a urinary tract infections and kidney disease. We will use a urinalysis to check the appearance, concentration and content of urine.

Body Fat Percentage

Our Body Scan will determine your current body fat percentage and give you an ideal amount of body fat needed for your age, gender, height and weight.

Basal Metabolic Rate

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is an estimate of the amount of energy required for your body to function when at complete rest to perform essential activity such as breathing, circulation, body temperature regulation and cell growth. This will provide us with valuable information on your caloric needs to either reduce weight, gain or sustain your current weight.

Estimated Activity Requirement

Estimated Activity Rate (EAR) is an estimation of the number of calories you need each day. It is calculated by multiplying your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) by an activity factor. This test will give us an indication of the number of calories needed when you are active.

Muscle and Bone Mass

This test will give us an indication if you are under weight, which can be a sign of malnutrition or other diseases. If you are under the ideal threshold, it could lead to osteoporosis and frailty.

Hydration %

Water plays a vital role in our everyday bodily functions. This test will determine how much water is in your body and whether you are dehydrated, hydrated or if you are retaining too much water.

Waist To Height Ratio

Waist to Height Ratio Calculator is a measure of your body fat distribution. It should be less than 50% in healthy adults. A high fat distribution around the waist has been shown to correlate with diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and metabolic syndrome.

Ideal Weight

We will provide an ideal healthy weight based on your height, weight, gender, age and lean body weight.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

We will calculate your current BMI, and advise if it is high based on your body fat percentage or if it is your natural build. Although a useful indicator, muscle is much denser than fat, so very muscular people such as heavyweight boxers, weight trainers and athletes, may be a healthy weight even though their BMI is classed as obese.

Electrocardiagram (ECG)

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity. An ECG can help detect: Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Attacks, Cardmyopathy, Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Supraventricular Tachycardia and Ventricular Fibrillation.

Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can block and prevent blood flow to the heart muscle potentially leading to a heart attack or stroke.

Resting Heart Rate

Heart rate is the number of times a person's heart beats per minute. Normal heart rate varies from person to person. We check this using an Electrocadigram to make sure it is not too high or too low, which could be a sign of an underlying heart condition.

Healthy Heart Age

After all tests are conducted, we will use the data to determine your heart age. We will then provide guidance on how to reduce it and decrease your risk of heart disease.

Heart Disease and Stroke Risk

This test is a sophisticated algorithm that uses the 21 data sets that we test for to determine your risk of heart disease or stroke within 10 years.

Lifestyle Assessment

Using motivational interviewing, we will assess your current lifestyle and provide a bespoke lifestyle coaching to make any changes necessary that will either help improve your current and future health, or to achieve any personal health goals.

Diabetes Risk

This test is a sophisticated algorithm that uses the 19 data sets that we test for to determine your risk of type 2 diabetes within 10 years.
