DNA Based Nutrition Test
Are you constantly feeling tired, even after getting 8+ hours of sleep?
Does your training partner always seem to recover faster than you, even though you have been training together for years?
Do you always seem to pick up "niggles" when exercising, meaning you're always out of action for a day or two?
If you have answered yes to any of the above, then the answer to your problems may lie in your DNA and with our new test, we can analyse your DNA to identify a range of factors including:
Training exercises
The best training exercises to suit your body
Best time of day

Health MOT
Our health screening assessment focuses on identifying risk factors for potential ill-health, and suggest areas to enhance wellbeing.
What we check:
Personal Medical History and Lifestyle Questionnaire
This helps us understands all the factors influencing your health so that we have a strong foundation to make positive changes.
Body Composition
We work out the percentage of lean muscle mass verses overall body fat composition, which can help you specify your goals and identify areas of improvement.
Cholesterol
Evidence strongly suggests that high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death both in the UK and worldwide. Our full lipid profile test identifies the exact levels of good and bad cholesterol in your body.
Blood Pressure
Many people have elevated blood pressure. If left untreated, high blood pressure increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. We will manually measure your blood pressure to ensure that blood pressure is maintained at a healthy level.
Kidney Function
The liver is responsible for functions vital to life. The liver primarily processes nutrients from foods, removes toxins from the body and builds proteins. It breaks down fats, and converts glucose into energy stores and produces hormones. It also helps the body fight infections.
Diabetes
Over half a million people in the UK have diabetes without knowing it. With a thorough blood test, which gives an average diabetic count of the previous 3 months, we can identify if your blood sugar levels are too high, indicating possible diabetes risks. From these results we can help you manage your blood glucose levels through a tailor made nutritional plan.
Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition where a lack of iron in the body leads to a reduction in the number of red blood cells. Common symptoms include tiredness, lethargy, lack of energy and shortness of breath. With a simple blood test we will be able to identify whether you are anaemic. If so, our individualised nutritional plan would then be tailored to naturally.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 plays a really important role in red blood cell production and helps your nervous system to function properly. Vitamin B12 levels are important for aspects including boosting your energy, improving your memory and helping to prevent heart disease.
SpO2 and Pulse Check
This non-invasive assessment measures arterial blood oxygen saturation, together with your pulse rate (resting heart rate). This can be used as a tool to measure your fitness levels and also to ensure that your normal body function is keeping up with the demands of your body (i.e. blood flow to organs and muscles).
