Metabolism & Diabetes
Understand how your body makes, uses and regulates energy. These profiles assess blood sugar control and overall metabolic health to spot insulin resistance and prediabetes early, support diabetes management, and highlight the lifestyle changes that deliver the biggest impact—presented with optimal ranges and plain‑English guidance.
Use them to establish a baseline, troubleshoot fatigue, weight gain or post‑meal crashes, and track progress from diet, training, sleep and stress changes. You’ll get clear next steps and a sensible retesting cadence to prevent complications and improve long‑term metabolic resilience.

HormoneCortisolUnderstand your body's stress response with our Cortisol Blood Test. Often called the 'stress hormone', cortisol plays a crucial role in energy regulation, immune function, and how your body responds to daily challenges. This test helps identify if stress, fatigue, or mood issues might be linked to cortisol imbalances.
-
HormoneProlactinThe Prolactin Test measures levels of prolactin, a hormone made by the pituitary gland. Prolactin is important for fertility, sexual health, and milk production in women. Abnormal levels may suggest hormone imbalances that affect periods, fertility, or sexual function. In some cases, very high prolactin can be linked to growths in the pituitary gland (usually benign), so this test may help guide whether further checks are needed.
-
HormoneProgesteroneThe Progesterone Test measures levels of progesterone, a hormone important for menstrual cycles, fertility, and maintaining pregnancy. In women, levels change during the cycle and rise after ovulation. This test may help assess fertility, ovulation, or hormone balance, and in pregnancy it may help monitor placenta and foetal health.
-
HormoneOestradiol (E2)Wondering about your hormone balance? Oestradiol (E2) is the main form of oestrogen and plays a key role in fertility, menstrual cycles, bone strength, and overall hormone health. This test may help assess fertility, menopause status, or hormone-related symptoms in both women and men.
-
HormoneLuteinizing Hormone (LH)The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Blood Test measures a hormone that helps control ovulation in women and testosterone production in men. This test may help check fertility, menstrual cycles, or hormone-related symptoms.
-
HormoneFollicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test measures a hormone that controls egg production in women and sperm production in men. This test may help check fertility, menstrual cycle health, or symptoms linked to hormone imbalance.
-
HormoneDehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS)The DHEAS Test measures a hormone that the body uses to make oestrogen and testosterone. This test may help check hormone balance, fertility, and symptoms such as tiredness, irregular periods, or unwanted hair growth.
-
HormoneSex Hormone Binding GlobulinThe Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test measures the protein that binds to hormones like testosterone and oestrogen in the blood. SHBG levels affect how much free, active hormone is available, and this test may help assess hormone balance, fertility, and metabolic health.
-
ThyroidThyroid Function TestThe Thyroid Function Test checks how well your thyroid gland is working by measuring three key hormones: TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. These hormones control energy, metabolism, and growth. Abnormal results can explain symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, or temperature sensitivity, and may indicate an underactive or overactive thyroid.
-
HormoneTestosterone Free/Total + SHBGThis test checks testosterone in detail – total, free, and bioavailable – plus SHBG and the Free Androgen Index. It may help assess fertility, energy, mood, muscle health, and hormone balance in men and women.
-
DiabetesHOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance) TestThe HOMA-IR Test estimates insulin resistance by using fasting glucose and insulin results. This test may help assess your risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and related heart or hormone problems.
-
DiabetesFasting InsulinThe Fasting Insulin Blood Test measures insulin levels after not eating for at least 8 hours. High fasting insulin may be linked to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or metabolic syndrome, while healthy levels support balanced blood sugar and energy control.
-
DiabetesFasting GlucoseThe Fasting Glucose Blood Test measures blood sugar after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours. High levels may be linked to diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance, while normal levels show healthy blood sugar control and energy balance.
-
DiabetesGlycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) testGet the gold standard assessment of your long-term blood sugar control with our HbA1c Blood Test. This crucial test provides a 2-3 month average of your blood glucose levels, essential for diagnosing diabetes, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and preventing complications.
-
DiabetesGlucose TestThe Glucose (Random) Blood Test measures blood sugar at any time of day, without fasting. High results can suggest diabetes or problems with blood sugar control, while normal levels usually indicate healthy energy and metabolism.
-
DiabetesC-PeptideThe C-Peptide Blood Test measures how much insulin your body is making by checking C-peptide, a substance released alongside insulin. Low levels can suggest type 1 diabetes or poor insulin production, while higher levels may point to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, or pancreatic problems.
