Health Check & Blood Tests
Nicky Snazell Clinic is delighted to be able to offer health checks through both Patrick Holford and YorkTest.
Patrick Holford
Patrick Holford has been recognized as an authority on nutrition for many years. He has developed a comprehensive health check questionnaire which has already been completed by over 55,000 people.
Nicky Snazell Clinic can now offer you this health check as part of your treatment plan, which offers you a fantastic insight into where your areas of improvement lie and guidance on the changes you need to make to achieve optimum health.
YorkTest
Modern lifestyles have led to an explosion of obesity, diabetes, heart condition, cancer and osteoarthritis to name a few.
Obesity, diabetes and liver damage are all closely linked to glycemic load and this can be measured with a blood test at the clinic and the analysis done at YorkTest. A liver check test is also available.
Homocysteine can similarly be analysed. Most people in the UK have never heard of homocysteine and are unaware that it is the most important predictor of many degenerative diseases such as heart disease, stroke and peripheral artery disease. A homocysteine level above 13 has been shown to predict 67% of all deaths within 5 years. A quick blood test is all that is needed for you to find out how much at risk you are.
Around 45% of UK residents suffer from some form of food intolerance, which can manifest itself either rapidly, such as with peanut allergy, or more slowly with symptoms such as IBS, pain after eating, eczema or asthma. A comprehensive food tolerance test is available which will analyse your tolerance to 113 foods.
