What comes first-the health or the goal?

Why do I provide Blood tests and DNA tests in my Life Coaching packages?

As you may know, if you have been following my progress of late, I provide a unique Life Coaching service, whereby my clients have access to the latest Ultimate Performance Blood test and Athlete DNA test report, which enables me to see ‘under the hood’ and offer a bespoke training and nutrition program, individually designed exactly to your actual blood biomarkers and genotype.

How can you be expected to perform at your very best, reach your optimal potential if your engine is not working at full speed? Scientists and doctors alike, now know that mental health and wellbeing stem from your body’s health and wellbeing. Take for example the neurotransmitter Serotonin, the ‘feel-good’ chemical that regulates your sleep as well as your mood. This brain neurotransmitter is mostly produced in your gut, almost as much as 90% of it in fact. By optimizing your gut health, you benefit your mental health, they are synonymous with each other. Therefore, what would be the point of sitting down with a Life Coach and discussing all of your goals and aspirations when we haven’t even started to look at the foundations of your actual wellbeing and health, then and only then can we start to look at your issues and build upon the fundamentals of your values and life-principles.

How does it work?

The tests are provided as simple home testing kits which are super easy to administer. Take your samples either as a blood sample or a mouth swab, and then send off your samples in the provided kit. You will have to wait just a couple of days for your results and report.

From here I will work with you to create the optimal diet and training program not only in line with your actual health but also what you are comfortable in doing. The best diet and exercise in the world are the ones you stick to. That’s what I’m here for, to ensure you stick to your diet and training program to achieve your goals. From here we can focus on your life ambitions, aspirations, dreams and help you strategise a way to succeed. 

Why take the Ultimate Performance blood test?

· We want to establish your pre-transformation baseline for health, hormones and nutrition

· We want to track your progress at key stages through your training programme

· We want to optimise your endurance, strength and recovery

· We want to be proactive about many aspects of your health

The Ultimate Performance test is the most comprehensive sports performance test yet, combining a thorough health check with a full hormone profile, thyroid function and sports nutrition. With tests for liver, kidney, heart health, diabetes and more for general health; a full hormone panel including testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin and cortisol for body composition; testosterone:cortisol ratio as a good measure recovery; full thyroid function for weight loss and energy, and key nutritional markers like iron, vitamin D, active B12 and folate for energy and optimal performance.

Take this test before you start your transformation programme with me to establish your baseline levels and to check any personal health risks you or I need to be aware of. Use the insights it gives you to focus on the areas of your diet and nutrition that can help you achieve your health and fitness goals and then take again at the end of my program to see how the transformation you’ve made in the gym and to your lifestyle has impacted your inner health. If you want, for added motivation, you can even check your progress along the way.

Extended upper limit. Many testosterone tests will not measure testosterone levels above 52 nmol/L. Our test will measure values up to 520 nmol/L. This is especially useful for men who are taking testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or anabolic steroids and who expect to have supranormal levels of testosterone. Please note, if your reading is above 520nmol/L the lab will not be able to calculate free testosterone or free androgen index value. If this is the case, you will not be entitled to a refund.
