Early Detection Health Screening – Prevent Problems Before They Start
What Is Early Detection?
Early detection means identifying hidden health risks before symptoms appear. Our advanced screening combines comprehensive blood tests, microbiome analysis, and a 90-minute doctor consultation, helping you take control of your long-term health.
- Detect risks early, before symptoms
- Go beyond NHS health checks
- Personalised prevention plan with a doctor
- Improve vitality, longevity, and peace of mind
What’s Included in Our Standard Package
- Advanced lipid panel: LDL-particle size, lipoprotein(a), cholesterol subtypes
- Full metabolic panel: Blood sugar control, liver, kidney, thyroid antibodies, complete blood count
- Hormone screen: Baseline stress and energy markers, including DHEA and key sex hormones
While a standard NHS lipid panel measures basic cholesterol levels, it doesn’t reveal how cholesterol behaves in the body. Advanced lipid testing can identify hidden risks—such as small, dense LDL particles or elevated lipoprotein(a)—that may increase cardiovascular risk even when conventional results appear normal. These deeper insights help detect issues earlier and guide more personalised prevention strategies.
Checking metabolic markers helps highlight early changes in blood sugar regulation, inflammation, or organ function that can contribute to long-term disease risk. Measuring DHEA and sex hormones provides additional insight into stress response, metabolic health, and healthy ageing, as imbalances can influence energy, resilience, and overall physiological function. Together, these markers give a more complete picture of long-term health and potential areas for early intervention.

How It Works
Book a Discovery Call
Speak with one of our doctors to learn how early detection works, what’s included, and which tests fit your needs, before committing to a full package.
Book Standard Tests and your 60-minute Doctor Appointment
Schedule your blood and stool testing at your convenience. We’ll send you everything you need.
Collect Samples
Arrange your blood test – we will advise you where and how, then complete the stool kit at home.
Get Tested by Experts
Our partner labs (not available through NHS) process your samples with industry-leading precision.
Follow up Consultation
Sit down with your doctor to unpack results, identify risk areas, and work together to create a realistic and evidence based personal plan. Take this opportunity to act on any concerns found in the tests. Follow up length varies depending on the number of tests sent off but can be between 45-90 minutes.
Annual Follow-Up
We recommend repeating the standard testing annually, so you can measure progress, adjust plans, and stay ahead of future risk.
Add-Ons as Needed
Choose optional advanced tests when deeper insight is warranted. We’ll arrange a follow-up to interpret and act on those.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can’t I get this through the NHS?
The NHS provides excellent care, but its standard panels don’t include advanced lipids, in-depth hormonal profiles, or microbiome/genetic screening—essentially, early detection tools designed for proactive health. Our long term goal is to work towards this kind of preventative medicine to be available within the NHS and our team are actively working to try to change this – but it will take time. In the meantime, we want to offer the service and prove this form of medicine reduces future health issues.
How quickly will I get results?
This depends on what tests you sent off. Blood tests can take up to 2 weeks to come back but stool and other optional add-ons take up to 4 weeks so we would generally arrange your appointment for at least 4 weeks after you send off your test. Note, you will need to stop taking any probiotics and possibly other gut supplements for 2 weeks before taking this test so it can be a 6-week process.
What if I need more than one consultation?
Our doctor will recommend a follow-up plan if your tests indicate that some closer monitoring will be helpful. Appointments can be booked with your practitioner via our website on an ad-hoc basis if required.
Can I pay per test?
Yes. While the standard package offers the greatest value, each advanced or optional test is available à la carte, and your doctor will guide you on relevance and timing.
Will my health insurance cover this?
Not yet – we are working on it but the shift of emphasis to early detection takes time.
What if I need medication?
We are all GMC registered doctors so can prescribe as needed but we would always advise that we write to your GP so that your NHS records remain up to date. We can also write to your GP and ask them to review you and prescribe if you prefer.
