You can feel well, stay productive, and still have early changes in cholesterol or liver markers developing quietly. These shifts often happen before any obvious symptoms, which is why a clear baseline matters.

Core Lifestyle measures key blood fats linked to cardiovascular risk, alongside a complete liver function profile. It helps you understand what your current habits may be doing beneath the surface, so you can make informed, practical choices with confidence.

If you want a straightforward starting point for your general health profile, Core Lifestyle is a reliable place to begin.

What the Core Lifestyle test is for

It is possible to feel fine and still have early shifts in blood fats or liver markers that develop quietly over time. This home blood test gives you a clear, clinical snapshot of two systems that often reflect lifestyle risk before symptoms appear: your cholesterol profile and your liver function.

On the cardiovascular side, Core Lifestyle measures total cholesterol and the balance between HDL (often described as “good” cholesterol) and LDL (“bad” cholesterol), alongside triglycerides and related values such as non-HDL cholesterol. These results help indicate how your current lipid profile may relate to long-term risk for heart disease and stroke, and whether there are areas where diet, weight, alcohol intake, activity levels, or family history may be playing a role.

It also includes a complete liver function profile, looking at enzymes and proteins such as ALT, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin and total protein. Liver markers can shift with alcohol intake, excess body fat, certain medications, and other common factors, even when you feel well. Seeing these values together can help explain tiredness or low energy in context, and support more informed conversations with your GP if follow-up is needed.

With a home test kit for testing from home, Core Lifestyle is designed to give you a straightforward baseline you can act on. It helps you understand what your day-to-day habits may be doing beneath the surface, so you can make practical choices with more certainty, then recheck over time if you want to track change.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance known as a lipid and is vital for the normal functioning of the body. It's mainly made by the liver, but can also be found in some foods.

Having a high cholesterol level, associated with a high amount of fats in your blood (hyperlipidaemia) can be detrimental to your health. There is evidence that having high cholesterol increases your risk from cardiovascular diseases and associated death. It's also important to consider the ratio of 'Good' and 'Bad' cholesterol.

What people say about this test

Review starReview starReview starReview starReview star
Booked a nurse appointment because I know I’d mess up a finger-prick. The nurse was lovely and it took minutes. Results came back and were laid out in a way I could understand without googling everything. I liked seeing my HbA1c and lipid numbers together - it helped me make sense of why my GP keeps mentioning “watch the sugar”.

I’ve done the core lifestyle panel because I wanted a general check-in (cholesterol, HbA1c, that sort of thing) without booking time off for GP appointments. The finger-prick took me two tries to get enough blood, but the guide helped and the portal showed everything clearly once it came back. I liked the little notes explaining what “in range” means. No miracles, just useful info I can take to my next check-up.

Used Vitall through GenderGP to keep on top of my bloods. It saved loads of back and forth and I didn’t have to chase anyone. Everything came through in one place and I could download the results easily.
