How BetterHealth works
BetterHealth is a personalised programme that fits your needs so there's no one-size-fits-all approach. We start with diagnostics to understand your current health, then we work with you to create a health plan that evolves with you over time. You'll have regular check-ins with your doctor to track your progress and adjust your plan as needed and they'll also be on hand for any questions you have along the way.
Step 1: Discovery call
Start with a free discovery call with one of our expert doctors. This allows us to understand a bit about you and your health goals so we can put together a bespoke test panel to understand where your health's at now.
Step 2: A personalised test panel
Next we'll dive deep on your health with a bespoke test panel to look at your core organ health, metabolic health, hormonal health and essential vitamins and minerals.
Step 3: An in-depth consultation
Then you'll have a one-on-one consultation with your doctor to go through your results in detail. We'll put the results into context with your medical history, lifestyle and health goals to build your health plan.
Step 4: Ongoing support & prescribing
You'll have regular check-ins with your doctor to track your progress and adjust your plan along with unlimited messaging for any questions. We can also help with prescribing for weight loss, cholesterol and blood sugar control, HRT/TRT.
Just imagine you had your own doctor who's job it is to keep you as healthy as possible, for as long as possible. Imagine they only care about you, not "the system". Imagine they have the time to actually get to know you and what makes you tick.
Then, back this up with consults, prescribing and diagnostics so you can get expert guidance and support and track your progress over time.
Finally, what if you added in a bit of science, a bit of tech and a pinch of Selph magic?
Well, then you'd have BetterHealth - your personalised, preventative healthcare service.
Our goal is to give you 10 more healthy years. What you choose to do with them is up to you. Dance at your grandchild's wedding. Get a scratch handicap. See the Taj Mahal. Learn to play the guitar. Write a book. With BetterHealth, anything's possible.
We do this by:
- preventing disease
- identifying problems early
- optimiising your metabolic health
- planning for your future health needs
There's no single "right" way to better health, there's only the right way for you and even that changes over time.
Maybe you're trying to lose weight, gain muscle, have a baby or going through menopause. Whatever stage of life you're in and whatever your goals, we'll support you with diagnostics, expertise, lifestyle, supplements and therapeutics.
BetterHealth comes in two flavours - BetterHealth Solo and BetterHealth Plan.
BetterHealth Solo is a one-off test panel and consultation with one of our doctors. It's perfect if you want to get an in-depth snapshot of your health and understand your risk of disease, understand your risk of disease and get a personalised health plan to get you started on your journey to better health.

What's tested with BetterHealth?
To kick-start your journey to better health we've put together a comprehensive test panel that covers all the bases.
We'll check your liver, kidney, thyroid, bone health and key vitamins and minerals. We also go deep on your cholesterol, sugar-handling and inflammation to get a thorough understanding of your metabolic health.
However, BetterHealth is for everyone and we're all different. That's why we recommend having a chat with one of our doctors to make sure you're having the right tests for you and your goals. Maybe we need to check your hormones or screen you for bowel cancer? We'll personalise the test panel to suit your needs.
Full blood count
A full blood count is a fundamental test which checks for anaemia and inflammation which can be caused by many conditions.
What's measured:
Advanced lipid profile
Your lipid profile - the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in your blood - is one of most important risk factors for heart disease. High cholesterol also increases your risk of stroke and dementia. In addition to this standard panel we check your Lp(a) level, the commonest genetic cause of heart disease (affecting 1-in-5 of us) and your ApoB level. ApoB is a marker of the number cholesterol carrying particles in the blood and it a better predictor of heart disease than LDL- and non-HDL cholesterol.
What's measured:
Sugar handling
How your body is handling blood sugar is a fundamental part of your metabolic health influencing your risk of heart disease cancer and dementia.
What's measured:
Inflammation
High sensitivity CRP is an accurate way to measure the levels of inflammation in the blood. Chronic inflammation can have many causes such as autoimmune disease, heart disease and gum disease. We also check your uric acid level which is related to high blood pressure, heart disease and gout.
What's measured:
Thyroid Health
Your thyroid gland controls many aspects of you metabolism. Thyroid problems are common and will affect all aspects of your health from your gut to your skin and mental health.
What's measured:
Liver Health
Your liver is the main organ affecting how you metabolise pretty much everything you put inside your body, including food, drink and medications. Alcohol and excess body fat are common causes of liver injury.
What's measured:
Kidney Health
Along with your liver, your kidneys are crucial to filter and detox your blood. But common conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can cause damage over time.
What's measured:
Iron Status
Iron is essential for your red blood cells and immune system. Iron deficiency is the commonest mineral deficiency in the UK, particularly if you're on a plant-based diet or are a woman before the menopause. Iron deficiency can also be a sign of cancer.
What's measured:
Calcium and Bone Health
We check your calcium and phosphate levels along with alkaline phosphatase, a marker of bone metabolism. In addition to bone health, calcium is a useful marker of your parathyroid gland function.
What's measured:
Essential Vitamins
Vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin D are fundamental to health and deficiency is common.
What's measured:
