Well Person Profile

This is an extensive general wellness profile for both men and women.

It gives you vital information about a wide range of very important health conditions. Having a blood test today can add years of health and wellness to your life. The conditions tested for very often take many years for symptoms to develop and some do not show any symptoms at all, but if not tested for, in the meantime, untreated, damage is being done.

A full blood count tests for haemoglobin levels, red cells, white cells and platelets. This checks for anaemia and can also give early insight into a very wide range of blood diseases and health conditions that are commonly slow to become apparent from symptoms. It adds vital insight into the activity of your immune system and your clotting function.

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) – there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day.

Your thyroid function is tested. Over 4% of people currently have low thyroid function and do not know about it. It is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose by symptoms or medical examination. It is a blood test that gives you a definitive answer and can potentially avoid months, and often years, of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, constipation, depression, anxiety, and more. If your thyroid is overactive there is a whole other set of problems that need treating.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very signficant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

A full iron status profile, including ferritin is analysed. Iron is essential to maintain blood health (among other things) and your current levels and storage capacity are very important indicators for many health conditions.

This profile also checks your liver function. Your liver is probably the most complex and vital organ in your body. It does such a wide range of things including digesting all your food and removing toxins and poisons – like alcohol. Finding that your liver is being stressed can make a huge difference to its (and your) long term health and wellness.

Included is a kidney function test. Your kidney is also a vital organ. Checking that it is working properly is done primarily by blood tests which will give you the opportunity to get treatment early if any is needed.

It checks your bone health with a calcium level, which is vital for bones and many other bodily systems, and checks you muscle health with creatine kinase which can show if you have damaged muscles. It checks for gout which can be altered dramatically with lifestyle and treatment and can cause a lot of misery if ignored.

This profile includes 49 health indicators and because of its extensive size needs a phlebotomy sample.

Biomarker(s) Measured:  Haematocrit, Alkaline Phosphatase, Free T4 (thyroxine), White Cell Count, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), Lymphocytes, Mean Platelet Volume, Transferrin Saturation, Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity, Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Haemoglobin, Total Protein, Globulin, Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Creatine Kinase, Triglyceride, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Low Density Lipoprotein, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol, Cholesterol – Total, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, Urea, Calcium, Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Mean Cell Haemoglobin, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration, Red Cell Distribution Width, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Red Cell Count, Platelet Count, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Urate (Uric acid), Monocytes, Total Bilirubin, Alanine Transaminase, Creatinine, Ferritin, Basophils, Iron, Albumin, Adjusted Calcium, Eosinophils, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Neutrophils

Tiredness/Fatigue Profile

This test is designed to discover clues in your blood as to why you may be feeling unusually tired or fatigued.

It will give you information on on several common things that doctors look for in blood tests that may give physical reasons for tiredness. It includes a full blood count and tests for vitamin D, inflammation, iron levels including ferritin and thyroid function tests.

Analysis of 9 essential biomarkers including:

Due to the inclusion of a full blood count this test requires a phlebotomy sample

Biomarker(s) Measured: Free T4 (thyroxine), Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Platelet Count, Haematocrit, Lymphocytes, Mean Platelet Volume, Transferrin Saturation, Haemoglobin, White Cell Count, Ferritin, Red Cell Count, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration, Red Cell Distribution Width, Monocytes, Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Neutrophils, Iron, Basophils, Vitamin D (25-OH), Eosinophils, Mean Cell Haemoglobin

Sports Fitness Profile

If you want to know what your blood can tell you about your fitness – either before starting a programme, or to monitor progress during one., this is the profile for you.

It includes all the essential biomarkers that are of interest to a sports person – a Full Blood Count, Liver & Kidney function profile, Iron levels, Ferritin, Heart & Muscle Enzymes, Cholesterol profile, Inflammation, Magnesium, Vitamin D , Vitamin B12 and Testosterone.

We are able to monitor and track these results over time to see how well your body is functioning in response to your exercise regime and flag up anything that may need to be looked at.

Due to the size of this profile and the inclusion of a full blood count we need a phlebotomy sample.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Vitamin B12, Haematocrit, Alkaline Phosphatase, White Cell Count, estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR), Lymphocytes, Mean Platelet Volume, Transferrin Saturation, Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity, Total Iron-Binding Capacity, Haemoglobin, Total Protein, Globulin, Mean Cell Volume (MCV), Creatine Kinase, Triglyceride, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Low Density Lipoprotein, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol, Cholesterol – Total, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, Urea, Calcium, Mean Cell Haemoglobin, Mean Cell Haemoglobin Concentration, Red Cell Distribution Width, Red Cell Count, Platelet Count, HDL percentage, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Urate (Uric acid), Monocytes, Total Bilirubin, Alanine Transaminase, Creatinine, Testosterone, Ferritin, Basophils, Iron, Albumin, Adjusted Calcium, Eosinophils, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Neutrophils, Vitamin D (25-OH)

Sports Hormone Profile

Analyse the widest range of hormones and systems in your body affected by fitness activity, that can be measured with a blood test.

If you are taking supplements and want to monitor the affects these are having then this is the test for you.

If you are concerned that you may not be responding to your exercise as you should then these are the hormones and systems to check.

Your liver function is tested which is where your body processes most of the food and substances you introduce into your body.

Thyroid function is checked with TSH and FT4 as if this is not working you will not have the energy you should.

The widest range of hormones are analysed. All these hormones are very important for both men and women – although in different concentrations of course.

Free & Total Testosterone, SHBG, DHEAS and Free Androgen Index are checked.

Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Prolactin are all included.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Albumin, Free T4 (thyroxine), Free Androgen Index, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Total Bilirubin, Free Testosterone Calculation, DHEA-Sulphate, Testosterone, Prolactin, Globulin, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Total Protein, Luteinizing Hormone, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase, Oestradiol (E2), Alkaline Phosphatase, Alanine Transaminase
