A baseline blood test measures your levels of essential vitamins and minerals key to health such as vitamin D, vitamin B12 and ferritin (iron). This will help identify whether your diet is providing the right nutrients. In additional a baseline blood test can also check for thyroid and liver function, heart health and diabetes risk, as well as bodily inflammation and cortisol levels.
Baseline Plus is our most comprehensive blood test and is designed for those who want to improve and optimise their health. You’ll gain scientific results for 19 of your body’s most essential biomarkers for good health including key micronutrients (vitamin D, B12, ferritin), good and bad cholesterol, average blood sugar levels, inflammation, liver function as well as stress.
It is recommended you collect your sample for this test within 3 hours of waking and before food.
Measuring your levels of active B12, ferritin and vitamin D will help you understand whether your diet is providing you with the right nutrients. Low levels of active B12, ferritin and vitamin D can contribute to low energy levels and feelings of fatigue. Vitamin D is also key for muscle function, bone health and a healthy immune system. The test also measures the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) which can indicate a thyroid imbalance – the symptoms of which include changes in weight, mood and energy.
It is important to track your risk of developing heart disease, liver disease or type 2 diabetes as these are all, on the whole, preventable illnesses. The Baseline Plus test gives you a breakdown of your different types of cholesterol levels (both good and bad), HbA1C which gives you a measure of how much sugar is in your diet and helps identify your risk for type 2 diabetes, together with key biomarkers to assess the performance of your liver.
Sleep is crucial for your overall wellbeing. Getting a good 7-8 hours sleep a night helps your mind and body repair and improves your immune system. Stress from our daily lives can impact our ability to sleep and stress also takes its toll on both the mind & body. Our Baseline Plus test measures your levels of the stress hormone cortisol so you can see what impact your lifestyle is having on your body.
Our Baseline Plus test is a subscription product which enables you to track your progress over a period of 3, 4, 6 or 12 months – the choice is yours. This means you see what lifestyle changes work best for you and helps you to build a picture of your own unique biomarker profile so you can gain an early alert if things start to go off-track.
Having a good, balanced diet is the most important part of staying healthy along with getting enough good quality sleep each night. This will ensure your body is getting the right nutrients to function well, and you have enough energy to exercise.
A poor diet that is high in fat, sugar and salt will impact your heart health and will not provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs to function well. High blood glucose levels can also cause inflammation in your body which is a risk factor for heart disease. High blood glucose also raises your cortisol levels.
We all know that drinking too much alcohol can affect our livers, but it also impacts our mental health by interfering with chemicals in our brain and our bodies ability to absorb nutrients.
Drinking too much caffeine can also have a negative impact on our bodies, such as increasing our cortisol levels.
Exercising and not taking in the right amount of nutrients and calories will put stress on our bodies and impact energy levels as well as our immune system. Mid to high intensity exercise can also increase cortisol levels, so you need to ensure sufficient rest periods between training sessions.
It’s also important to ensure your exercise routine is made up of weight bearing exercise to help with bone and muscle strength. Plus, exercise that increases your heart rate and makes you feel out of breath which will keep your heart and lungs healthy.
Having a stressful lifestyle can have a big impact on our bodies. Raised cortisol levels can contribute to weight gain, low mood, reduced libido and high blood pressure. Exercise and lifestyle changes will help reduce stress levels and improve overall wellbeing.
“Our age, biological sex, lifestyle and family history all have an impact on our health, so it’s important to keep track of changes over time, particularly as we get older. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or loss, sleep issues or you know your lifestyle needs improving, then this test gives a good overall assessment and can highlight problem areas. It can identify the causes of symptoms, be it vitamin deficiencies, thyroid problems, or pre-diabetes, or rules these out, so other areas can be investigated.”
