Not feeling yourself? Something you can’t quite put your finger on? Do you have symptoms you can’t explain? Give yourself an all-round MOT for your health with the Well Man health test, an advanced health screening check that tests for 38 biomarkers and conditions including Liver & Kidney function, Cholesterol, Thyroid function, Diabetes, Male hormones, Vitamins, Minerals & Iron.

What conditions does the Well Man Health Test check for?

This comprehensive health test and MOT for the male body tests for 13 different conditions or health concerns including: Thyroid Function, Vitamin profile, Liver Function, Muscle and Bone Health (including factors that cause Osteoporosis), mineral profile, Kidney function, Iron Levels, Inflammation, Gout, Diabetes, Cholesterol levels, blood cells and male hormones.

What biomarkers does the Well Male Heath Test look for?

This advanced health screening check tests for 38 different biomarkers including the following:

Male Hormones:
Hormone imbalances can have a huge impact on your general health and wellbeing, affecting your mood, libido, energy levels and fertility. The test checks for:

– Testosterone

The Well Man test will check the levels of these Testosterone for your age and gender, identifying any issues which may be impacting your mood, sex drive, fertility, sports and performance.

Thyroid Function:
Your thyroid is a gland in your neck which produces hormones to manage and maintain your metabolism. The Well Man health test checks for:

– Free F4 (thyronine)
– Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

If your thyroid under-produces hormones you can experience symptoms such as tiredness and lethargy, dry or brittle hair, dry or sensitive skin and weight gain. An overactive thyroid can lead to weight loss or feelings of anxiety.

Our test will check for thyroid function and where specified in some tests, for thyroid antibodies, which if raised suggest the presence of an autoimmune thyroid disorder.

Diabetes:
Up to 33% of people in the UK live with prediabetes, when your blood sugar is higher than normal but not enough for a Diabetes diagnosis, putting them at high risk of full Type 2 diabetes. We check for the diabetes biomarker within this health test.

– HbA1c (Glycosylated Haemaglobin)

A blood test can check your blood glucose levels to understand the average level of sugar in your blood and determine whether you may have or be at risk of having diabetes or prediabetes.

Muscle and Bone:
The Well Man test, checks the following biomarkers to identify levels of important enzymes or minerals related to the health of your bones and muscles.

– Adjusted Calcium
– Calcium
– Creatinine Kinase

Calcium and Adjusted Calcium are vital for healthy bone structure and bone formation to avoid serous health complications such as neurological problems, osteoporosis, eye damage and dental problems.

Creatine Kinase (CK) is an important enzyme related to muscle tissues in the body, specifically muscles connected to your skeleton and your heart. High levels of CK in the blood can indicate muscle damage, heart attack or heart disease, or muscle wasting disorders such as muscular dystrophy.

Iron Profile:
Iron is used in the body to create new blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. This health test checks for the 5 different Iron markers:

  • Ferritin
  • Iron
  • Total Iron Binding Concentration
  • Transferrin
  • Unsaturated Iron Binding Concentration

Low levels of iron can lead to fatigue and reduced energy levels due to the inability to transport oxygen around the body in red blood cells. Athletes with low iron levels may find they suffer from reduced performance and energy levels and lower VO2 Max levels. Low iron can lead to anaemia or haemochromatosis (iron overload).

Liver Function:
Your liver has a wide range of jobs including converting food into energy for the body, removing waste and toxins, and managing some of the body’s hormones. Through a blood test we can measure enzyme levels which can indicate an inflamed liver, which if left intreated can led to damage and scarring, and eventually liver disease. The Well Man health test checks for 8 separate liver markers:

– Alanine Transaminase (ALT)
– Albumin
– Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
– Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
– Gamma GT
– Globulin
– Total Bilirubin
– Total Protein

Kidney Function:
Your kidneys remove waste products and fluid from the blood, which if not working effectively can lead to a build-up of toxins in the blood resulting in low energy levels, loss of appetite, weakness, trouble sleeping and more. This health test checks for the follow kidney markers:

– Creatinine
– Glomerular Filtration Rate
– Urea

Kidney disease can have very few symptoms in the initial stages, so it is important to monitor your kidney health especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or relations with kidney disease.

Cholesterol Levels:
Cholesterol plays an important role in the general function of the body, however too much can increase your risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood tests to check your levels of good or bad cholesterol can check levels within the blood and identify risks to your health. The Well Man health test checks for 6 separate Cholesterol markers.

– High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
– Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
– Non HDL Cholesterol
– Total Cholesterol
– Total Cholesterol : HDL Ratio
– Triglyceride

Vitamin Profile:
The body cannot make the vitamins it needs which is why it’s important that they come through a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle. Vitamin deficiency is common, which is why it’s important to understand which your own personal level of vitamins in your body. The Well Man health test, checks for 3 vitamins markers:

– Folate (Vitamin B9)
– Vitamin B12
– Vitamin D

Vitamin D is vital for bone strength, as well as protection against chronic illnesses and muscle function. It can be made by the skin when exposed to sunlight, or through supplements.

Vitamin B12 is used to produce oxygen-carrying red blood cells, and also plays a role in the nervous system maintenance.

Folate is a B Vitamin which is important in the production of red cells.

Gout:
Gout is a type of arthritis typically found in the fingers, wrists, ankles, and toes, affecting individual joints or multiple joints at the same time. It is caused by a build-up of uric acid which deposits crystals into the joints leading to inflammation and significant pain. The Well Man health test tests for a single gout marker.

– Uric Acid.

Uric acid is typically processed and excreted by the kidneys, however if there is too much in the body or the kidneys are not functioning effectively, it can accumulate in the body. Gout can be treated with steroids or anti-inflammatories once recognised.

Inflammation:
Inflammation often occurs when your immune system is acting to remove infections or antibodies from your body, with symptoms including swelling, redness, pain, and heat. Acute inflammation is usually short term and triggered by an injury or infection. The Well Man health test checks for the main inflammation marker:

– High Sensitivity C—Reactive Protein.

By measuring levels of High Sensitivity C—Reactive Protein, it will identify whether there is inflammation in the body which can lead to damaged blood vessels and potentially a heart attack or stroke, if left untreated.

Red & White Blood Cells:

Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen around your body, whereas White blood cells in your body are integral for fighting against infections and protecting from harmful germs or bacteria entering your system. The Well Man health test checks for:

– Full Blood Count (with 5-part White Cell Differential)

There are 5 different types of white blood cells, all of which are created within the stem cells of your bone marrow. Each white blood cell performs a different function within your immune system to identify and protect you from microbes, parasites, and bacteria.

The Well Man health test will check your red and white blood cells to ensure you have the right levels in your body and identify any issues with the health of your blood.

Minerals:
Like vitamins, the body cannot make the minerals it needs which is why it’s important that they come through a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle. This health test checks for 1 x mineral biomarker:

– Magnesium

Magnesium is a mineral found in nuts, legumes, wholegrains, bananas, and leafy green vegetables. Magnesium deficiency can lead to symptoms such as bad headaches, muscle weakness, muscle spasms or cramping, stiffness, or low energy. This can be especially common in athletes or those who regularly participate in sport and can be improved by eating a magnesium rich diet.
