What is the Advanced Health Screen?

The Advanced Health Screen is a comprehensive blood test designed to provide a full overview of your internal health by analysing multiple biological systems. It is one of the most complete screening panels available, combining essential biomarkers with advanced markers for cardiovascular risk, metabolic health, inflammation, hormonal balance and early disease detection.

This panel evaluates key systems including blood health, kidney and liver function, cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, glucose metabolism, thyroid function, inflammation, nutritional status and tumour markers. By combining these markers into a single test, it allows for a detailed assessment of overall health and early identification of potential issues.

The Advanced Health Screen is ideal for individuals seeking a preventive health check, executive screening or baseline health assessment. It helps detect subtle imbalances before symptoms develop and supports long-term health optimisation.

Why do I need an Advanced Health Screen?

Many health conditions develop gradually without obvious symptoms. Early detection through comprehensive testing allows for timely intervention and improved long-term outcomes.

The Advanced Health Screen provides insight into multiple physiological systems simultaneously, helping identify risk factors such as:

• Cardiovascular disease risk
• Insulin resistance or metabolic dysfunction
• Hormonal imbalances
• Chronic inflammation
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Thyroid disorders
• Liver or kidney dysfunction
• Early tumour marker changes

This test is particularly useful for individuals who want a proactive approach to health, especially those with busy lifestyles, family history of chronic disease or ongoing symptoms that require investigation.

Common symptoms that may prompt testing include:

• Persistent fatigue
• Brain fog or poor concentration
• Weight changes
• Hormonal imbalance symptoms
• Digestive issues
• Low energy levels
• Sleep disturbances
• Chronic inflammation
• Frequent illness
• General health concerns without a clear cause

Even without symptoms, this panel provides a baseline health profile for ongoing monitoring and prevention.

Benefits of the Advanced Health Screen

1. Comprehensive full-body assessment
Evaluates multiple organ systems and health markers in a single test.

2. Early disease detection
Identifies risk factors before symptoms develop.

3. Cardiovascular risk evaluation
Advanced lipid markers help assess heart health.

4. Metabolic health monitoring
Glucose, insulin and HbA1c evaluate blood sugar control.

5. Hormonal and thyroid insights
Thyroid markers and antibodies help detect dysfunction early.

6. Nutritional status analysis
Detects deficiencies affecting energy, immunity and wellbeing.

7. Inflammation monitoring
CRP helps identify chronic low-grade inflammation.

8. Preventive health optimisation
Supports personalised lifestyle, diet and treatment strategies.

Step by Step

We offer two convenient ways to take this test anywhere in the UK.

Option 1 – Visit a Clinic

• Choose your nearest UK clinic
• Attend your appointment
• A healthcare professional collects your blood sample
• Samples are sent to the laboratory
• Results are delivered securely

Option 2 – Home or Hotel Visit

For £60 extra, a phlebotomist can visit you.

• Book online
• A phlebotomist travels to your home, office or hotel
• Your blood sample is collected safely
• No need to travel

Both services are available UK-wide.

Your Results Explained

Low Levels

Low biomarker levels may indicate deficiencies or reduced organ function.

Examples include:

• Vitamin D: deficiency below ~25 nmol/L
• Ferritin: low iron stores causing fatigue
• B12/Folate: low levels affecting energy and neurological health
• Calcium: low levels affecting bone health

Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, reduced immunity and poor recovery.

Normal Levels

Normal results indicate healthy physiological function.

Typical UK ranges include:

• HbA1c: below 42 mmol/mol
• TSH: 0.4 – 4.0 mIU/L
• CRP: below 3 mg/L
• eGFR: above 90 mL/min

Maintaining normal ranges supports long-term health and disease prevention.

High Levels

Elevated biomarkers may indicate inflammation, metabolic dysfunction or organ stress.

Examples include:

• CRP: elevated levels indicate inflammation
• LDL cholesterol: high levels increase cardiovascular risk
• ALT/AST: elevated levels may indicate liver stress
• Glucose/Insulin: elevated levels may indicate insulin resistance
• PSA: elevated levels may require further investigation

Further clinical assessment may be recommended depending on results.
