Measure the essentials that keep your health on track and in your control
It is easy to second-guess how you are doing when tiredness, low mood, or slower recovery creep in, and nothing feels clear enough to act on.
The Fundamental Health Check gives you a solid baseline across core health areas, including blood sugar control (HbA1c), cholesterol and inflammation (hs-CRP), liver and kidney function, and key nutrients such as vitamin D and iron stores (ferritin). It is designed to help you understand what is happening now, spot changes earlier, and track progress over time with evidence rather than guesswork.
If you want a practical health MOT and a clearer starting point for decisions, this is a reliable place to begin. Order the Fundamental Health Check when you are ready for a data-led view of your fundamentals.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly found in your liver. ALT is used by your body to break down food into energy, with levels in the blood normally low.
Following liver damage, the levels of ALT in your blood will rise making it a useful means to indicate liver problems.
Fluctuation of ALT levels is normal over the course of the day, and can also increase in response to strenuous physical exercise.
