Essential Health Check - This test helps identify if there is any risk to your health and wellbeing including vitamin deficiencies, cholesterol, liver function, iron deficiency, folate, triglycerides and more.

Premium Food Intolerance Test - When food particles enter the bloodstream your immune system can sometimes identify these food proteins as ‘foreign’ and produce lgG antibodies to ‘attack’ the particular foods. This response is the immune systems natural defence and can create inflammation and can trigger troublesome symptoms, which may persist if neglected.

Food and Environmental Allergy Test - This test will help understand what is contributing to any symptoms. This will show clear results for IgE reactions to 23 foods and 19 environmental allergens.

Inflammation test - Inflammation can impact the whole body and can indicate underlying health conditions or an infection. It also has potential to damage the heart, arteries and blood vessels.

Menopause Test - This is used to understand whether your menopause status is impacting your health and can help track hormone levels over time.

Stress (Cortisol) Test - A small amount of stress is a good thing. However, when levels increase it can impact daily life. Raised or low levels of cortisol can tell us if stress is impacting your health.

Thyroid Check -This test can detect amy imbalance in thyroid hormones. Be aware of your thyroid function and whether you might have overactive thyroid or an underactive thyroid.

Diabetes Check - Obesity, a sedentary lifestyle and a Western diet can all contribute to developing Type 2 diabetes. This test checks your blood sugar levels over the past three months. This provides and accurate indication and early detection of your risk of developing pre-diabetes/diabetes.
