Blood tests

What makes our blood tests different? 

Many clinics undertake basic blood tests with basic biomarkers.

Whilst these can provide indicative results, they are not always accurate and can give a misleading view of a person's overall health.

One example of this is in the area of Prostate Cancer testing. The go-to test is a PSA test - It is used by private clinics and the NHS alike. But this test is known for its inaccuracies and misleading readings.

We are the leading clinic in the country that currently undertakes both the Stockholm 3 and Ploclarix testing, with a 95% success rate.

How do blood tests work with your Medical DNA tests?

Blood tests work hand in hand with Medical DNA testing and most clients choose to undertake these together or opt for the Advanced Prostate Health Check or Annual Male Health check.

Our medical DNA is not a heritage DNA, it is a genetic DNA that measures over 300 different DNA biomarkers from your genes and epigenetics. It is a powerful tool for those who believe in preventative health and avoiding medical issues in the future. The medical DNA can identify:

  • The chances that you will develop certain conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cataracts, etc.
  • Your propensity to injury rises and intolerances e.g. Dairy or gluten.
  • Your deficiencies in particular minerals and vitamins, meaning multivitamins are a thing of the past
  • Your body's response to mental health issues and stress.

While DNA tests provide valuable insights into our genetic predispositions, blood tests offer real-time data about your current bodily state.

Regular blood tests can be an invaluable resource for fine-tuning your dietary and exercise plans by measuring various crucial parameters.
