Why Not Just See My GP?

GP services are essential for diagnosing illness. However:

  • Routine full health screening isn’t always available

  • Advanced hormone or performance panels are rarely offered

  • Appointment wait times can be long

Our service is ideal for:

  • Preventative health monitoring

  • Performance optimisation

  • Hormone assessment

  • Reassurance and clarity

It complements — not replaces — your GP care

Do I Need to Fast?

Some tests (cholesterol, glucose, insulin) may require fasting for 8–12 hours. If required:

  • Drink water only

  • Avoid tea, coffee and supplements

  • Continue prescribed medication unless advised otherwise

We’ll confirm when you book.
