Explore your Essential Body Health
This inclusive blood test investigates your health essentials, including heart health, immune system, blood sugar balance and diabetes risk, as well as liver function markers providing a foundational starting point to explore and improve your health and wellbeing.
Whats Included?
The Function & Efficiency package tests 14 important markers and enables you to make informed decisions on how you can optimise your health and vitality. The tests included will give you an insight into your kidney health, electrolyte balance including monitoring sodium and chloride, liver health and how much stress hormone your body is producing.
Electrolytes
A kidney function test will tell you lots about your electrolytes - important chemicals that regulate your hydration, blood pressure, blood acidity, nerve and muscle function, and nearly all chemical reactions in the body. Electrolytes are also essential minerals the body needs before, during and after exercise to maintain homeostasis, and maximise your workout.
Detox
Do you feel a bit sluggish or weighed down? Our body naturally detoxes all the time and our liver plays many roles in the process of removing unwanted chemicals or toxins from the blood. This package includes a range of tests to investigate liver health.
Stress
Cortisol is a hormone our body produces in response to stress. It also plays a key role in regulating sleep, blood pressure, blood sugars, energy levels and helps to reduce inflammation.
Fluid Balance
Your kidneys are responsible for regulating fluid balance, and removing harmful toxins or excess fluid from the blood by producing urine. Fluid retention, high blood pressure, headaches and swelling in your hands, feet or other areas of the body are all possible signs of reduced kidney function.
