This profile analyses some of the major risk factors for heart problems.

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.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very significant 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.

Generalised inflammation is tested with a high sensitivity C-reactive protein level. Firstly, Inflammation is bad for your heart. A high CRP level can also indicate the presence of a very wide range of other health problems like autoimmune disease, bacterial infections, osteomyelitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Low Density Lipoprotein, Triglyceride, Cholesterol – Total, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol

The Menopause Hormones Profile is a test that measures the levels of Oestradiol, Luteinising Hormone, Testosterone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone to confirm if you are in the menopause.

It also includes Thyroid Stimulating Hormone as it is not uncommon that thyroid problems can cause similar symptoms as the menopause.

Menopause is a natural process that occurs in women as they age, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. The ovaries stop producing eggs and the levels of hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone, decrease.

It is the big drop in oestradiol that causes most of the symptoms of menopause with may include:

• hot flushes, when you have sudden feelings of hot or cold in your face, neck and chest which can make you dizzy
• changes to your mood, like low mood, anxiety, mood swings and low self-esteem
• problems with memory or concentration (brain fog)
• difficulty sleeping, which may be a result of night sweats and make you feel tired and irritable during the day
• palpitations, when your heartbeats suddenly become more noticeable
• headaches and migraines that are worse than usual
• muscle aches and joint pains
• changed body shape and weight gain
• skin changes including dry and itchy skin
• reduced sex drive
• vaginal dryness and pain, itching or discomfort during sex
• recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• sensitive teeth, painful gums or other mouth problems

Periods may become irregular, heavier before stopping altogether.

Thankfully, Hormone Replacement Therapy can help most women with many of the symptoms and it is worth speaking to a doctor about this.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Testosterone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol (E2)

Sexual Health Serology is a test that checks for certain infections that can be transmitted through sexual contact. It helps to identify if a person has been exposed to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C.

The results of the test can provide important information about a person’s sexual health. If the test comes back negative, it means that the person has not been exposed to these infections. However, if the test comes back positive, it indicates that the person has been exposed to one or more of these STIs and further medical evaluation and treatment may be necessary.

It is important to get tested regularly, especially if you are sexually active or have multiple sexual partners, as many STIs do not show obvious symptoms. Early detection and treatment can help prevent the spread of infections and protect your overall health.

Biomarker(s) Measured: HIV 1 & 2 Antibodies + p24 Antigen, Hepatitis C Antibody, Syphilis (Treponoma) IgG/IgM, Hepatitis B Surface antigen

This blood test provides you with a comprehensive check-up of your general health giving 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 test 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.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very significant 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.

Your Iron levels are checked. Iron is essential to maintain blood health.

This profile also checks your liver function. Your liver is probably the most complex and vital organs 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 calcium which is vital for bones along with many other essential bodily functions, and checks your muscle health with creatine kinase which can show if you have damaged muscles.

Lastly 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 44 health indicators and because of the full blood count, it needs a phlebotomy sample.

Biomarker(s) Measured: 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, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Red Cell Count, Platelet Count, Urate (Uric acid), Monocytes, Total Bilirubin, Alanine Transaminase, Creatinine, Basophils, Iron, Albumin, Adjusted Calcium, Eosinophils, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Neutrophils

The Antimullerian Hormone (AMH Plus) test measures the level of AMH in the blood. AMH is a hormone produced by the ovaries in females and the testes in males.

In females, the AMH Plus test is primarily used to assess ovarian reserve, which refers to the number and quality of eggs remaining in the ovaries. It helps in predicting the response to fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Low levels of AMH may indicate a decreased ovarian reserve, while high levels may suggest polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or ovarian tumors.

In males, AMH is involved in the development of male reproductive organs. The AMH Plus test can be used to evaluate testicular function and diagnose conditions such as undescended testicles, disorders of sexual development, and testicular tumors.

It is important to consider that the reference ranges for AMH levels may vary depending on the age and reproductive stage of the individual.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Anti-Müllerian Hormone

The Hepatitis B Profile includes tests for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) and Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc)

Someone may have this test done for several reasons:

• Screening: It is commonly used to screen individuals who may be at risk of Hepatitis B infection, such as healthcare workers, pregnant women, or individuals with a history of high-risk behaviors (e.g., intravenous drug use, unprotected sex).
• Diagnosis: The test helps in diagnosing acute or chronic Hepatitis B infection by detecting the presence of HBsAg and other antibodies.
• Monitoring: It is used to monitor the progression and treatment response of Hepatitis B infection. Changes in the levels of HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc, and HBeAg can provide valuable information about the stage and activity of the infection.
• Vaccination status: The test can determine if someone has developed immunity against Hepatitis B after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine.
• Liver function assessment: Hepatitis B infection can cause liver damage, and this test can help assess the overall liver function by measuring liver enzymes and other markers associated with the infection.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Hepatitis B Core Antibody – Total, Hepatitis B Surface antigen, Hepatitis B Surface Antibody

This complete profile analyses the range of hormones that affect every aspect of a man’s health and wellness. Everything from energy, strength, concentration, mood, libido, to muscle strength and bone health is dependent on these hormones being at the right level and in balance.

Testosterone and all the other essential hormones steadily reduce after the age of 30 with rapidly accelerating loss later in life – particularly from 60.

The optimum levels needed for maximum male health and wellness are debated but whatever you decide about treatment, you need to start with understanding and monitoring these hormones.

All of these hormones exist in both men and women but in very different concentrations and have very different functions if you are male.

Testosterone we all know is directly associated with most of the a man’s physical characteristics of bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass and strength and it is also essential in the production of red blood cells and sperm.

A small amount of testosterone is converted to oestradiol which is also essential for healthy libido, erectile function and making sperm.

Prolactin has a vital role in balancing the production of testosterone.

LH also is essential to producing testosterone while FSH stimulates sperm production

DHEAS is essential to make testosterone and this oestradiol in men in the first place, and SHBG manages how much testosterone can be useful to all your tissues.

The complex interplay between all these hormones is responsible for so much there is to being a healthy man, physically and mentally.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Albumin, Free Androgen Index, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Free Testosterone Calculation, DHEA-Sulphate, Testosterone, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol (E2)

This comprehensive profile checks for health indicators which can contribute to erectile dysfunction and male impotence.

It is estimated that 48% of men experience difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection on at least some occasions. While the majority of the time there are psychological causes for this, it is vital to exclude physical causes as these causes may be due to a serious underlying illness – and can often be treated to reduce the effects of impotency.

The main categories of causes are problems with circulation and hormonal.

This profile checks for all the major causes of circulatory problems and checks the relevant hormones.

Testosterone, SHBG and Prolactin hormone levels, and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone.

Diabetes can cause circulation problems as well as nerve damage so Glucose and HbA1c levels are included along with a full cholesterol profile.

A Prostate Specific Antigen level checks for indications of possible problems with the prostate which can also result in impotence.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Low Density Lipoprotein, Triglyceride, Albumin, Cholesterol – Total, HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemoglobin), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Non-HDL-Cholesterol, Free Testosterone Calculation, Testosterone, Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio, Prolactin, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, HDL percentage, Prostate Specific Antigen

The Female Hormone Profile is a test that analyses the levels of specific hormones in a woman’s body that help regulate various functions in the body, including the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health.

This test specifically focuses on hormones that are important for female reproductive health, such as oestrogen, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone and prolactin.

By measuring these hormone levels, this profile can give valuable information about your hormonal balance and overall reproductive health.

It can help identify any hormonal imbalances that may be causing irregular periods, fertility issues, or other reproductive problems.

Additionally, this test can also be used to monitor hormone levels during hormone replacement therapy or to assess the effectiveness of certain medications.

Biomarker(s) Measured: Testosterone, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol (E2)
