At Hourglass Wellbeing, we believe that prevention is better than cure. Many cardiovascular, metabolic and hormonal conditions develop silently over many years before symptoms appear. Our consultant-led screening packages are designed to identify risk factors early, allowing timely intervention and personalised advice to help optimise long-term health.

Whether you are looking to better understand your cardiovascular risk, assess diabetes and metabolic health, investigate hormonal concerns, or review nutritional status, our screening packages provide evidence-based insights supported by expert interpretation.

Advanced Lipid Assessment

Our Advanced Lipid Assessment moves beyond standard cholesterol testing and incorporates contemporary cardiovascular risk markers increasingly recognised by international guidelines. In addition to a conventional lipid profile, this panel includes Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and advanced lipoprotein particle analysis, providing a more detailed assessment of cardiovascular risk than traditional cholesterol testing alone.

Ideal for:

• Individuals with a family history of heart disease

• Patients seeking a more comprehensive cholesterol assessment

• Those wishing to optimise long-term cardiovascular health

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Our Cardiovascular Risk Assessment provides a broad overview of cardiovascular and metabolic health. The panel combines a full blood count with kidney, liver and thyroid function tests, iron studies, calcium levels, lipid profile, C-reactive protein (CRP) and HbA1c (diabetes risk assessment).

This assessment is designed to identify common cardiovascular risk factors and establish a baseline picture of overall health.

Ideal for:

• General health screening

• Cardiovascular risk assessment

• Individuals with risk factors such as hypertension, obesity or family history

Premium Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Our most comprehensive cardiovascular screening package combines the Cardiovascular Risk Assessment with our Advanced Lipid Assessment and a resting ECG.

All results are reviewed by a Consultant Cardiologist, who provides a personalised written report explaining the findings and outlining any recommended next steps, lifestyle measures or further investigations where appropriate.

Ideal for:

• Individuals seeking a detailed cardiovascular review

• Professionals wishing to undertake preventative health screening

• Patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors or significant family history

Diabetes & Metabolic Risk Assessment

Designed to identify early metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance, this assessment combines conventional cardiometabolic markers with a dedicated metabolic profile including lipid assessment and urine protein-creatinine ratio (PCR).

Where clinically appropriate, insulin and C-peptide testing can be added to provide further insight into insulin resistance and metabolic health.

Ideal for:

• Individuals concerned about diabetes risk

• Patients with pre-diabetes

• Those with obesity, metabolic syndrome or a family history of diabetes

PCOS Hormone Assessment

Our PCOS Hormone Assessment includes nine key hormones commonly used in the investigation of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related hormonal conditions.

The panel can assist in evaluating menstrual irregularities, fertility concerns, symptoms of androgen excess and other features commonly associated with PCOS.

Ideal for:

• Suspected PCOS

• Irregular menstrual cycles

• Fertility investigations

• Hormonal symptoms such as acne or excess hair growth

Testosterone Profile

A focused assessment of male hormonal health, including testosterone, luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).

This profile may be useful in the assessment of fatigue, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced exercise performance and other symptoms associated with testosterone deficiency.

Ideal for:

• Men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone

• Performance and wellbeing assessment

• Hormonal health monitoring

Thyroid Profile

A comprehensive thyroid assessment including Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T3 and Free T4.

Thyroid dysfunction can contribute to fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbance, palpitations and other non-specific symptoms.

Ideal for:

• Fatigue or unexplained symptoms

• Weight management concerns

• Monitoring known thyroid conditions

Nutritional Assessment

Our Nutritional Assessment evaluates a range of important micronutrients and vitamins involved in energy production, immune function and overall wellbeing.

The panel includes trace elements such as copper, zinc and selenium, alongside selected vitamin assessments and folate.

Ideal for:

• Fatigue and low energy levels

• Dietary optimisation

• Nutritional monitoring

• Individuals seeking a broader assessment of wellbeing
