| |  This test is used for the early detection of kidney disease occurring as a complication of diabetes or hypertension (high blood pressure). It is recommended to get the ACR test once diabetes or hypertension has been diagnosed, and those with diabetes or hypertension need their ACR levels to be checked at least once per year or more frequently if high ACR levels are detected. |

What is Adrenal Stress?
Two small glands, known as the adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys and help us deal with life’s stresses by releasing the hormones, cortisol and DHEA. These hormones are not released constantly throughout the day. Instead they are secreted in a cycle called the circadian rhythm (sleep/wake cycle), with the highest levels being secreted in the morning and the lowest at night.
Sometimes in periods of long-term or severe mental or physical stress these glands can go into overdrive. If this occurs for too long or too often then the adrenals later become exhausted. When this happens, the hormonal levels of Cortisol, DHEA in the blood stream become imbalanced.

The ANS Analysis measures the autonomic nervous system via the heart rate variability (HRV).
ANS Analysis is a very simple and fast method to show how well our body's primary control center, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is working and performing its regulatory duties. With its two main divisions, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system (or vagus), the ANS represents a superordinate control center in the body. It controls and regulates subordinate processes and all vital functions, including blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, immune system, endocrine system, digestive system, energy supply, etc.
In just 7-10minutes the ANS analysis assesses the condition of the fight or flight and rest and digest nervous system showing you whether your body is adapting to stress and everyday life in a healthy way.
Our in-house functional medicine practitioner would go through your results and give you appropriate advice as well as supplements if required. |
| | |  The Lipid panel cholesterol test includes measurements fot Total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol), Triglycerides and VLDL.
The Glucose test provides a measurement for a person's blood sugar level, where an elevated reading can indicate an increased risk for Diabetes.
|
| | | A complete cholesterol test is also called a lipid profile. This test is used to measure the amount of "good” (HDL) and "bad” (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, a type of fat, in your blood.
This test can help predict your risk of heart disease and allow you to make early lifestyle changes that lower cholesterol and triglycerides.
Too much cholesterol can lead to:
- heart disease
- stroke
- atherosclerosis, a clogging or hardening of your arteries

| | | A comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular risk, measuring various important markers such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and homocysteine, as well as key inflammatory markers. This unique test combines both traditional and cutting-edge indicators of cardiovascular health that can often be corrected with nutritional intervention.
This test analyzes blood for levels of HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol, ratios, triglycerides, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B, fibrinogen, and C-reactive protein. |
| | | C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance produced by the liver in response to inflammation in the body.
High CRP levels may also indicate that there's inflammation in the arteries of the heart, which may mean a higher risk of heart attack or stroke. |

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person's blood sugar level to become too high. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2.
Diabetes can lead to serious complications, and the higher your HbA1c, the more you're at risk of developing them.
We test your HbA1c levels here at the pharmacy as it is a more accurate measure of your blood glucose levels over the last 3 months and gives us an indication of your blood glucose control. Knowing your levels and understanding what they mean can help you reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes. We also offer personalised lifestyle intervention advice depending on your results.
All we need is a small blood sample, which is obtained with a simple prick of a finger. We will then measure levels of glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in your blood. HbA1c measures your average blood glucose levels over past three months. As a result, this is a useful indicator and allows for early detection of risk for diabetes.

The term ‘food intolerance’ and ‘food allergy’ are often confused and are two very different things.
Genuine food allergy is relatively rare. Only about 2% of the adult population are affected. A food allergy is a swift response by the body’s immune system to a specific food. In this type of reaction, the body’s immune system mistakes a food for an ‘invader’ which often results in a rapid allergic reaction often within minutes, but generally within a maximum of two hours. This type of allergic reaction is commonly associated with reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs and seafood.
Food intolerance is quite different to food allergy and whilst the symptoms can impact the person’s quality of life, they are not life threatening. Food intolerances are much more common than food allergies.
When foods and drinks are digested the proteins within them are broken down into smaller fragments for easy absorption into the body. Larger fragments can pass through without breaking down, and sometimes the body reacts by attacking them using antibodies called Immunoglobulin G’s (IgG).

Hormones: The Key to Vitality, Sex Drive, and Aging.
The Male Hormonal Health test provides a focused overview of hormonal balance in men.
Using a single serum sample, this test evaluates dynamics of sex steroid metabolism that can profoundly affect a man's health throughout his lifetime.
The test focuses specifically on DHEA, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Estradiol, Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA).
Gaining information about the body's hormone production can provide an insight to help maintain good health.
Hormones play a powerful role in the body's regulatory system. Proper hormonal balance is essential to maintain optimal health. Testosterone, for example, enhances sex drive, strengthens bone and muscle tissue, and reduces fat production. In addition, it is a natural energy booster that protects against the onset of depression and heart disease. Other male hormonal deficiencies or excesses affect sleep, metabolism, and the ability to fight disease. |

The Vitamin D test measures levels of Vitamin D to gain an overall perspective of a patient's health and dietary insufficiencies. Total Vitamin D (measured as 25-OH-D) generally refers to both its natural and synthetic forms. Vitamin D2 is synthetic, while D3 is naturally found in food and activated by sun exposure. To provide you with more complete information about your intake, our Vitamin D test measures both forms, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).
The likelihood of vitamin D insufficiency is increased in malabsorption syndromes, aging (elderly individuals have a reduced capacity for vitamin D3 formation), darker skin (higher concentrations of melanin reduce efficiency in vitamin D3 production), obesity (fat-soluble vitamin D is stored in adipose, which reduces bioavailability), and minimal sun exposure, such as in winter or at more northern latitudes.
