Well Man Profile

This profile will tell you if you have diabetes (HbA1c) - there are over 1 million people with diabetes who do not know they have it. Finding out will enable you to make the lifestyle changes and start treatments that will significantly lengthen your life and improve how you feel every day. 

Your thyroid function is tested. Over 3% of men currently have low thyroid function and do not know about it. It is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose by symptoms or medical examination. It is a blood test that gives you a definitive answer and can potentially avoid months, and often years, of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, constipation, depression, anxiety, and more. If your thyroid is overactive there is a whole other set of problems that need treating.

It includes a full cholesterol profile analysing over 5 parameters. Over 40% of adults have high cholesterol levels which is a very signficant risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The only way to detect if you have high cholesterol is through a blood test. It will enable you to make the changes you need to reduce your risk of some of the most common causes of death.

Generalised inflammation is tested with a high sensitivity C-reactive protein level. Firstly, Inflamation is bad for your heart. A high CRP level can also indicate the presence of a very wide range of other health problems like autoimmune diease, bacterial infections, osteomyelitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

Testosterone levels are tested. This hormone is a vital component of any man's wellbeing.

A full iron status profile, including ferritin is analysed. Iron is essential to maintain blood health (among other things) and your current levels and storage capacity are very important indicators for many health conditions.

Vitamins tested are Vitamin B12 and Folate which are essential for health blood and other systems. Vitamin D is included. Over 1 in 6 people are Vitamin D deficient and this is higher at the end of winter and in people who cover their skin. Low Vitamin D levels cause a wide array of misery including muscle and bone pain, pins and needles, muscle weakness and more. It also increases the risks of a range of cancers. You need a blood test to determine exactly how low your levels are so you can follow the right treatment plan to restore your health and wellness.

This profile also checks your liver function. Your liver is probably the most complex and vital organ in your body. It does such a wide range of things including digesting all your food and removing toxins and poisons - like alcohol. Finding that your liver is being stressed can make a huge difference to its (and your) long term health and wellness.

Included is a kidney function test. Your kidney is also a vital organ. Checking that it is working properly is done primarily by blood tests which will give you the opportunity to get treatment early if any is needed.

It checks your bone health with a calcium level, which is vital for bones and many other bodily systems, and checks you muscle health with creatine kinase which can show if you have damaged muscles. It checks for gout which can be altered dramatically with lifestyle and treatment and can cause a lot of misery if ignored.
