Health Questionnaire & Deep Listening

To gain a deep understanding of your overall well-being, we first provide you with a comprehensive health questionnaire. This exploration covers your health history, current lifestyle practices, and your approach to nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and emotional well-being. Additionally, we kindly request that you fill out a 3-day food diary, which allows us to gain further insights into your dietary patterns. Through this process, we extract a wealth of information to develop a thorough understanding of your health, enabling us to tailor our recommendations accordingly.

Your initial consultation — what does it involve?

During your initial consultation, which typically lasts up to 90 minutes, we will thoroughly review your comprehensive health questionnaire and delve into your health concerns, goals, health history, diet, and lifestyle. Together, we will decide on the necessary tests required to build a detailed picture of your health status and investigate any related concerns.

Functional Laboratory Tests — which tests transform your health?

To develop a unique first-class overview of your health status we tailor functional laboratory tests for the individual. Looking at key indicators of health and nutrition is key to assessing nutritional status and identifying deficiencies and imbalances. Moreover it gives us the information we need to reverse the aging process and improve your health span.

Blood biomarkers - Uncovering Your Health Status

To be able to analyze your health status, we design tailored blood biomarker panels for each individual. These tests examine key indicators of health and nutrition, assessing nutritional status, identifying deficiencies, and addressing imbalances. Our comprehensive blood biomarker testing provides valuable insights into your nutrition status, inflammation levels, and overall aging process. By investigating specific micronutrients, lipids, hormones, proteins, inflammation markers, and longevity markers, we gain a deeper understanding of your body’s unique needs and can address any potential issues.

Allergy screening and food sensitivity testing can also be included in the panel, helping to reduce the risk of chronic health problems associated with hidden food intolerances. By taking a blood sample we can analyze your body’s reaction to 221 common foods and 295 allergens.

To carry out these tests we ask that our clients come to the initial consultation fasted.

DNA Analysis - Unlocking Your Genetic Potential

An extra step to truly understand your body is to analyze your very own DNA. Your unique genetic profile can reveal how your body responds to different types of food and exercise. Your DNA profile can help you understand how your body reacts to fats and carbohydrates, whether you are likely to lack certain vitamins or minerals, and your genetic risk of infections like colds and flu. DNA testing can uncover genetic predispositions that may impact your response to caffeine and if you require more protein in your diet to support muscle growth. Discovering your anaerobic threshold ability and injury risk can help you reach your potential quicker in your exercise or training plan.
Vitamins and supplements are critical to your health and wellbeing, and your DNA report will highlight how your body responds to specific supplements. The report also identifies 13 specific health risks related to micronutrient deficiencies like iron and vitamin B12. By understanding your genetic profile, you can customize your nutrition and fitness plan to support your unique needs and goals.

Your DNA sample will be taken during the first consultation. Therefore do not eat or drink one hour prior to sample collection.

Epigenetic Testing - Discover & Lower Your Biological Age

Epigenetic testing provides a deeper understanding of your health status by analyzing changes in gene expression that are not caused by alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. This testing can provide an accurate picture of your biological age, which can be used to develop a personalized health plan that addresses your unique needs and supports optimal health and longevity.

Epigenetic reports can also assess memory health, hearing age, eye age, and inflammation, providing a comprehensive overview of how your cells are aging relative to your chronological age. Gaining insight into the aging process of your cells relative to your chronological age can be a profound revelation that positively transforms your life.

The epigenetic test serves as a valuable tool to assess the efficacy of your behavioral modifications and make your rejuvenation journey measurable.For optimal tracking, we recommend repeating the test approximately six months later to monitor your progress and ensure continued success.

Your follow up consultation

Your second consultation will involve explaining all functional test result data. Based on all collated information, you will receive a report with bespoke dietary and lifestyle recommendations including exactly what you need to do next on your journey to optimizing your health and lowering your biological age. Nutritional supplements may also be recommended and purchased for specific nutrient imbalances or deficiencies.

How many consultations will you need?

The number of consultations you will require depends on your specific circumstances. Additional sessions may be recommended to evaluate your progress and address any ongoing or new health concerns. To gauge the effectiveness of your progress, we highly recommend scheduling a follow-up Epigenetic test after a period of six months. This allows us to comprehensively assess the success of your personalized plan and make any necessary adjustments to optimize your health journey.
