Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea and Trichomoniasis are three of the most common STIs. They can be symptomless and the only way to detect them is with a test. If you're sexually active or have been in the past, it's important to keep your sexual health in check. Early detection is crucial in reducing any long term consequences that may have a considerably damaging effect on your health.
\r\nLong term consequences can include pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, infertility in women; and epididymitis, which causes infertility in men by inflaming the reproductive tubes.
\r\nCortisol is a steroid hormone and is released by the adrenal gland in response to stress or low blood glucose. It is responsible for controlling the body’s blood sugar levels, regulating metabolism, acting as an anti-inflammatory, influencing memory formation, controlling salt and water balance, influencing blood pressure and helping development of a foetus in pregnant women.
\r\n\t\t\t\tCortisol balance is essential for human health and problems may arise if the adrenal gland releases too much or too little cortisol. Cortisol levels can become imbalanced during the different stages of adrenal fatigue.

The Female Hormone test is taken at Day 3 of your cycle and provides a broad picture of a woman’s fertility status by looking at a number of key hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Lutenising Hormone (LH), Prolactin and Oestradiol.
\r\n \r\nHemoglobin (Hb for short) is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen around your body. It is the part of your blood that makes it red. Glucose or sugar in your blood can stick to hemoglobin, this makes HbA1c. The more glucose in your blood, the higher your level of HbA1c will be. Red blood cells in your body survive for 8-12 weeks before they are renewed, by measuring HbA1c, you can get an idea of your average blood glucose level of the last 2-3 months.

Your kidneys are responsible for filtering your blood and removing waste products through your urine. They also manage water retention and control ion concentrations and the acid balance in your blood. Your kidneys do this through millions of structures called nephrons and maintaining them is very important for your overall health.
\r\nThis test will indicate how your kidneys are performing by measuring levels of urea, creatinine and eGFR Glomerular filtration rate. High levels of urea, creatinine and a low eGFR Glomerular filtration rate can indicate acute or chronic kidney disease. \r\n

Progesterone is checked on \"Day 21\" of your menstrual cycle to confirm that ovulation has occurred. This is because progesterone levels rise following ovulation. A low 21 Day Progesterone level suggests that your cycle was anovulatory and no egg was produced. If no egg is produced, pregnancy cannot be achieved.
\r\n \r\nChlamydia and Gonorrhoea are the two most common STIs. Both infections can be symptomless and the only way to detect them is with a test. If you're sexually active or have been in the past, it's important to keep your sexual health in check. Early detection is crucial in reducing any long term consequences that may have a considerably damaging effect on your health.
\r\nLong term consequences can include pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain, infertility in women; and epididymitis, which causes infertility in men by inflaming the reproductive tubes.
\r\nThis test will measure the amount of testosterone which is present in your blood.
\r\nTestosterone is a hormone, secreted by a man's testes and is responsible for maintaining a number of important bodily functions. Such functions include the development of muscle mass and strength, maintaining adequate levels of red blood cells, bone density, male fertility and sexual function.
\r\nIrregular or low levels of testosterone can lead to erectile dysfunction, infertility or cardiovascular disease in men. This test will give you a clear indication of your testosterone levels and can help identify a means of restoring your testosterone levels to a normal range.
\r\nYour thyroid is an endocrine gland found in your neck which produces the hormones Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4). The amount T3 and T4 produced by the thyroid gland is regulated by another hormone known as Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) which is produced in the pituitary gland in the brain. An increase in TSH will result in a drop in T3 and T4 leading to hypothyroidism. A decrease in TSH will lead to an increase in T3 and T4 which causes hyperthyroidism.
\r\n\t\t\t\tThis test will determine how your thyroid is performing by looking at thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4) and free triiodothyronine (T3).
\r\n\t\t\tThe male hormone test plus provides a comprehensive picture of a man’s hormonal health by looking at testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and free androgen index.
\r\nThis test also measures oestradiol, which is a female hormone. High levels of oestradiol in a man can lead to erectile dysfunction, enlarged breast tissue, increased abdominal fat, feeling of tiredness and type 2 diabetes.
\r\nThe male hormone test advanced provides a comprehensive picture of a man’s hormonal health by looking at testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index, prolactin and oestradiol which is known as a female hormone.
\r\nLow levels of bioavailable testosterone and high levels of prolactin and oestradiol in a man, can lead to erectile dysfunction, enlarged breast tissue, increased abdominal fat, feeling of tiredness and type 2 diabetes.
\r\nThe Herpes test looks for the Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV-1) and Herpes Simplex 2 (HSV-2) virus using a blood sample.
\r\nHerpes is a viral infection transmitted by skin to skin contact. After the initial infection, HSV remains dormant in certain nerve cells of the affected area of the body for life. The dormant virus may reactivate and cause recurrences.
\r\nHepatitis B and C are viral infections that can lead to long-term issues with the liver if left untreated. They are most often transmitted through the sharing of needles, the receiving of infected blood products or unprotected sex.
\r\nThe Hepatitis B & C test is a standalone blood test.
\r\nCeliac disease is caused by an immune response to a protein called gluten. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley and oats.
\r\n\t\t\t\tCeliac disease is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system believes that gluten is a threat. The body then produces antibodies that attack the immune system with an enzyme in the intestine called tissue transglutaminase (tTG)
\r\n\t\t\t\tImmune responses damage the small intestine and interferes with the absorption of nutrients from food, therefore, a person who has celiac disease could become malnourished regardless of how much food is consumed.
\r\n\t\t\t\r\n Anybody with a generally persistent feeling of tiredness, fatigue or weakness. Vegans, vegetarians or woman trying to conceive should monitor their vitamin levels. \r\n
\r\nVitamin B12 is one of the eight B vitamins. It is a water-soluble vitamin and any excess or unwanted amounts are usually excreted through urine.
\r\n\t\t\t\tVitamin B12 plays a vital role in the normal functioning of the brain and the nervous system and in the formation of red blood cells. It also helps to regulate and synthesize DNA.
\r\n\t\t\t\tVitamin B12 deficiency can sometimes lead to temporary infertility (an inability to conceive). This usually improves with appropriate vitamin B12 treatment.
\r\n\t\t\t\r\n Anybody with a generally persistent feeling of tiredness, fatigue or weakness. Vegans, vegetarians or woman trying to conceive should monitor their vitamin levels. \r\n
\r\nFolate or folic acid, known as vitamin B9 works in conjunction with vitamin B12 and vitamin C to help the body break down, use and make proteins. Folate generates red and white blood cells. It helps to produce DNA and RNA and sets out the building blocks for the rapid growth of cells during infancy, adolescence and pregnancy. Folate helps the development of a baby's neural tube develop into their brain and spinal cord during gestation.
\r\n\t\t\t\tVitamin B9 is one of the 8 water-soluble B Vitamins. It is the generic term for both naturally occurring food folate and the folic acid form of the vitamin used in dietary supplements and fortified foods.
\r\n\t\t\tYour thyroid is an endocrine gland found in your neck which produces the hormones Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4). The amount T3 and T4 produced by the thyroid gland is regulated by another hormone known as thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which is produced in the pituitary gland in the brain. An increase in TSH will result in a drop in T3 and T4 which can lead to hypothyroidism. A decrease in TSH will lead to an increase in T3 and T4 which causes hyperthyroidism.
\r\nThe presence of TGAB or TPEX antibodies can indicate damage to the thyroid gland which can include autoimmune disorders.
\r\nThis thyroid test will determine how your thyroid is performing by looking at thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (T3), T4, TGAB, TPEX.
\r\nLyme disease is transmitted via the bite of an infected black-legged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. Lyme disease is caused by four main species of bacteria: Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii are prevalent in the United States, while Borrelia afzelii and Borrelia garinii are the leading causes of Lyme disease in Europe and Asia.
\r\nIf you are bitten by a tick or have gotten a tick removed, a small, red bump appears at that point which should resolve over a few days. This is normal after a tick bite and does not indicate Lyme disease. If symptoms of Lyme disease persist, it's time to get checked.
\r\nVitamin D is sometimes called the “The Sunshine Vitamin”. This is because your body can create its own Vitamin D from sunlight.
\r\nVitamin D has several important functions. The most vital of which are regulating the absorption of calcium and phosphorous, and facilitating normal immune system function. Getting enough vitamin D is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Deficiencies can affect bone strength, calcium absorption and the prevention of osteoporosis.
\r\nA deficiency in vitamin D is also linked to seasonal adjustment disorder which can lead to a constant feeling of tiredness, fatigue or weakness.
\r\nThis test will look at nutrient imbalances for folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin D which can cause your body to underperform.
