Energy & Metabolism
Metabolism is your body’s way of chemically processing sugar and fat for use within the body as energy. Metabolism levels are also a good marker of someone’s healthy weight and energy balance within the body. A poor metabolism can show signs of undesirable weight fluctuations, chronic fatigue, and inability to process food into energy efficiently.
HbA1c & Fasting Insulin –Chief source of energy for the body which if elevated slows down fat loss and is also a risk for diabetes
Cholesterol & Lipids – An essential fat that serves many vital functions such as energy creation and metabolism. It is the principal building block of many of our hormones including estrogen, testosterone etc and also plays a vital role in Vit D production.
Thyroid Function – Your thyroid plays a vital function in controlling metabolism, specifically through T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). Key functions such as energy, weight, and temperature control can be impacted by the thyroid.
Insulin Resistance
Beta Cell Function
– Measures the ability of pancreatic beta cells to produce insulin.
– Key indicator of pancreatic health and functionality.
– Essential for understanding the body’s insulin production capacity.
Insulin Sensitivity
– Assesses how effectively the body’s cells respond to insulin.
– Critical for identifying potential insulin resistance.
– Helps in evaluating the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
HOMA-IR Index
– Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance.
– Combines fasting blood glucose and insulin levels to estimate insulin resistance.
– Widely used and validated marker for assessing metabolic health.
Sex Hormones
Testosterone is a hormone important for both men and women that regulates your sex drive (libido), muscle mass, fertility, and mood.
FSH is produced in the pituitary gland and is essential for producing sperm in men.
DHEAS is a precursor hormone that coverts into testosterone. Low levels could contribute to low libido
Cortisol have an essential role in regulating stress, the metabolism and the body’s immune response
SHBG Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is a protein that’s made in the liver and attaches itself to sex hormones, primarily Testosterone, and removes it from direct utilisation in the body
Estradiol it’s vital to maintain an optimised ratio of Testosterone and Estrogen for male health. Symptoms like fatigue, excess fat around your waist and belly, bone loss, lack of sex drive, anxiety, irritability, and depression are when your body is not producing enough Estrogen
Progesterone Men produce progesterone in the adrenal glands and the testes. Progesterone in men plays a role in testosterone production
FSH , LH stimulates the testes to produce testosterone
Prolactin stimulates sex drive and abnormal levels interfere with lack of energy, ED and fertility problems
Essential Vitamins
Optimal levels of Vitamins (A, E, K, D, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) plays a very important role in strengthening your immune systems and cell repair.
Essential Minerals
Magnesium & Calcium keeps the immune system strong, helps heal wounds, and supports sex drive.
Iron Status
Iron is needed by the immune system and the body uses the free radical action of iron to attack some pathogens. Iron helps the immune system in another way by enhancing the ability of white blood cells to engulf and kill bacteria.
Ferritin is Oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is essential for endurance exercise as well as for normal function of the nervous, behavioural, and immune systems.
Inflammation
Creatine Kinase / CRP / Hs-CRP / Homocysteine helps to diagnose conditions associated with acute and chronic inflammation including infections and autoimmune disorders. Inflammation accelerates ageing and decreases vitality
Proteins
Albumin/Globulin/Total Protein Main carrier proteins in the blood and binds to key substances such as free fatty acids, testosterone and essential nutrient
Prostrate Health
PSA Main marker for Prostrate health and also an indicator for prostrate cancer.

What is the meaning of Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction or ED is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse.

Causes of an Erection?
An erection is the result of increased blood flow into your penis. Blood flow is usually stimulated by either sexual thoughts or direct contact with your penis. When a man is sexually excited, muscles in the penis relax. This allows for increased blood flow through the penile arteries, filling two chambers inside the penis. As the chambers fill with blood, the penis grows rigid.
