About the Healthy Lifestyle Blood Test

The Healthy Lifestyle blood test offers a thorough examination, evaluating your liver and kidney functions, pinpointing your nutritional profile, and assessing risks for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. It highlights potential imbalances in your lifestyle, prompting timely interventions.

In the busy world of today, sedentary habits combined with unhealthy dietary choices and alcohol consumption have become all too common. Such choices can silently inflict harm over time, with many unknowingly grappling with conditions like fatty liver disease, impaired glucose responses, and heightened cardiovascular threats.

While these health challenges pose significant risks, early detection offers a pathway to address them effectively. This health evaluation acts as a crucial tool, helping identify lurking health threats.

This test not only provides a snapshot of your present health but also guides you on areas needing improvement. It showcases the positive strides made through healthier life choices.

Doctor's notes

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

The modern lifestyle is all too often low in exercise and high in unhealthy foods and alcohol.

This lifestyle can cause gradual, unseen damage over the course of years and decades and many of us are living with conditions such as fatty liver disease, impaired glucose tolerance, and high cardiovascular risk without knowing it.

All of these issues can have disastrous consequences, but all can be addressed if caught early.

This health check is the ideal means by which you can see if you are storing up trouble for the future. It is a great test to see what your current state of health is, to help you work out what you need to do to improve things and to let you know what impact positive lifestyle changes have already made.

Red flag symptoms for the Healthy Lifestyle Blood Test

Even with normal blood test results, it's essential to consult a physician if you experience the following symptoms, as they could indicate a severe hidden condition:

  • Exertional chest pain or difficulty breathing
  • Unexpected abdominal bloating or fluid accumulation near the ankles or eyes
  • Mysterious weight reduction.

Your Results and Health Dashboard

The results of your Healthy Lifestyle Blood Test will be emailed to you as a secured PDF file, ready for your GP and will also be uploaded to our Health Dashboard area of the website. It’s a unique and powerful tool, powered by our in-house clinical analysis research, to match your biomarkers across test panels and symptoms, as well as provide clinical commentary on all individual biomarkers you tested for.

The health dashboard will also provide "panel level" commentary - a birds eye view of the biomarkers that were tested. This feature allows you to view your test results and clinical commentary, and compare them to previous results, giving you a clear understanding of how your health is progressing.

By using the Health Dashboard, you can identify changes in your biomarkers and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. This added value is immense, as it empowers you to monitor your health and make informed decisions about your well-being.

It's free and is available with all of our tests.

Special instructions

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the Healthy Lifestyle Blood Test.

Take this test after any symptoms of a short term illness have settled as illness and infection could interfere with the results. If you are taking biotin supplements, stop these 72 hours before the test.

The blood glucose test is ideally done as a "fasting" test and so you should have nothing to eat or drink (except water) from 10 pm the night before the test, and then take the test in the morning.

Venepuncture appointment - how to prepare

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit for Healthy Lifestyle Blood Test - how it works

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

What type of problems can this set of blood tests detect?

The health and lifestyle blood tests can detect liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes and pre-diabetes and a range of nutritional deficiencies.

These tests can also be used to assess your risk of future problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

Many of these problems may be causing no symptoms at the moment but may be storing up trouble for the future.

How does this tell me about my cardiovascular risk?

This test looks at your blood lipid levels. This gives you a broad idea of your risks but a much more accurate assessment of your risks can be made using a tool such as the QRISK calculator which takes account of lots of different parameters such as your cholesterol levels, your blood pressure, your sex and age.

This can give you a good estimate of what your risk of heart attacks and strokes is over the next ten years and help guide your treatment decisions.

What does this tell me about my risk of diabetes?

The fasting glucose test will pick up if you have diabetes but doctors now recognise a condition of "pre-diabetes" (sometimes known as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glycaemia). This is shown by a fasting blood sugar that is not in the diabetic range, but also not completely normal.

If this is detected it should be a prompt to make immediate lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of going on to get diabetes.

Why take this test?

Hi, I am Dr. Marco Esposito and here is why it's important to take this test.
  • You want a general health check
  • You are worried about your cardiovascular risk
  • You have a family history of cardiovascular disease, liver disease, or kidney disease
  • Your are concerned about your risk of diabetes

Is this test right for you?

Hi, I am Sandeep Patel, I am the Laboratory Director at One Day Tests. Here are the symptoms that you may wish to address with this test.

The Health and Lifestyle Test is right for you if you are concerned that your lifestyle may be negatively impacting your health, or if you want to see if lifestyle changes you have already made are having a positive impact.
