Metabolic Health Tests

Metabolic health looks at how well your body is coping with everyday challenges such as what you eat, how you move, stress and sleep.

Poor metabolic health means that your body is not coping well and this accelerates ageing and increases the risk of common killers such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and dementia.

Our metabolic health tests allow you to easily check your cholesterol levels, how your body is handling sugar and more advanced markers such as lipoprotein (a). All results are explained by one of our metabolic health experts so you get the insights you need to optimise your lifespan.
