Personalised Assessments for Optimal Health
Unlock a Healthier Future
Undergoing a full body MOT health check is a great way of getting a snapshot of your current health status to catch signs of worsening health or the early stages of actual disease. Our tests include and are not limited to:
- Full Body MOTs: Comprehensive evaluations covering all major body systems to identify potential health issues early.
- Hormonal Checks: Assessments of hormonal balance, including thyroid function, adrenal health, and reproductive hormones.
- Gut Health Checks: Evaluations of digestive health, and screening for conditions like IBS.
- Diabetic Checks: Screening and monitoring for diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions, including blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity.
Expert Interpretation Does Make a Difference
A simple Google search will show numerous companies currently offering home finger prick tests that cannot do full body MOT health checks, or actual laboratory tests that can. They vary in price and usefulness, most importantly in the quality of the feedback they give with the results. If a test is positive or negative, it may not need any extra interpretation. However, most medical tests need to be interpreted by a doctor who knows what the results mean and how they relate to you personally. That takes experience.
Results of health screening need to be interpreted according to your circumstances depend on your age, gender, build and general health. Interpretation of results is also affected by any medical problems you may have and the medication and supplements you are taking.
The real utility of health screening comes from the follow up when the results are seen in the light of your own unique circumstances. The outcome may be lifestyle advice, or medication if your results are very abnormal. If your results are completely normal then you can be given advice on how to maintain good health, optimise it further, or avoid certain habits that may put your good health at risk for the future.
Treat the cause of disease
Dr Sheikh has an interest in lifestyle medicine, so he puts an emphasis on natural methods to reverse chronic disease, treatment and prevention. He prescribes medication as a last resort because it only ‘manages’ medical problems and does nothing to address the underlying causes which just continue to get worse over time.
There are a number of health screening packages to get an all-round view of your health. Dr Sheikh may suggest tests that may also be useful in addition to the standard health screens.
Holistic and Personalised Care
The integration of modern medical practices with holistic approaches aims for:
- Optimised Health Plans: Tailored strategies that fit your lifestyle and health goals.
- Reversal of Chronic Diseases: Guidance on managing and potentially reversing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and obesity.
- Preventive Strategies: Advice on how to prevent future health issues through diet, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments.
Already Have Test Results? Bring Them Along!
If you’ve had tests done at another clinic or laboratory, you’re welcome to bring your results. Dr Sheikh can review them with you, providing a comprehensive interpretation and advising on next steps.
Preparation for the tests?
- Fasting: Fasting is not strictly required. It has only a slight effect on your cholesterol results. However, it will give you more accurate triglyceride (a type of fat) results, and is required for a fasting glucose test. In these cases, you should fast for 8-10 hours before the test; you can drink water without any problem.
- Medications: Continue to take any prescribed medications as usual, unless advised otherwise.
