This bundle is designed for women aged 55 and over who want to proactively monitor key health markers that become more important with age.

As women go through menopause and beyond, the risk of conditions like heart disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and chronic inflammation increases. Many of these health concerns develop gradually and may not show obvious symptoms early on.

This test bundle is particularly useful for women who:

• Want to check their cholesterol and blood sugar to assess their risk of heart disease and diabetes.
• Experience fatigue, weight changes, or brain fog, which could be linked to an underactive thyroid.
• Are interested in bowel health screening, as the risk of bowel cancer increases with age.
• Want to monitor inflammation levels, which can contribute to arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune conditions.

By testing these key health indicators, this bundle helps women take control of their well-being, detect potential concerns early, and make informed lifestyle or medical decisions.

No, you don’t need to send your sample to a lab.

All the tests in this bundle are rapid home tests, meaning you can take them yourself and get results within minutes. Each test is designed to be simple, accurate, and easy to interpret, with clear instructions included.

Each test provides a clear visual result within the recommended timeframe, so you can quickly check your health without waiting for lab processing. If any results suggest a potential issue, you may wish to discuss them with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

All the tests in this bundle meet strict quality and accuracy standards required for home health testing. They are CE-marked for use in the UK and Europe, ensuring they meet safety, reliability, and performance requirements.

Each test has been clinically validated and designed for ease of use, providing results comparable to those obtained in professional healthcare settings.

However, like any test, results should be interpreted carefully, and if you receive an abnormal or unexpected result, it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

This bundle is designed to identify key health risks that may not show obvious symptoms until they become more serious. Many conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, inflammation, and bowel issues, can develop gradually, making early detection crucial.

Here’s how each test helps uncover potential health concerns:

• Cholesterol Test – High cholesterol often has no symptoms but increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular testing helps you monitor your levels before complications arise.
• Diabetes (Glucose) Test – Elevated blood sugar can indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes, which, if left untreated, can lead to heart disease, nerve damage, and other complications.
• Thyroid (TSH) Test – An underactive thyroid can cause fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog, but symptoms are often mistaken for normal aging. This test helps identify thyroid imbalances.
• Bowel Health (FOB) Test – Bowel cancer risk increases with age, and early signs like hidden blood in the stool often go unnoticed. Regular screening can help detect issues early.
• C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test – Chronic inflammation is linked to heart disease, arthritis, and autoimmune conditions. This test helps assess your body’s inflammation levels.

By testing these key markers, this bundle gives you a comprehensive picture of your health, helping you take action early and make informed decisions about your well-being.

After menopause, estrogen levels drop, which can lead to higher LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and lower HDL ("good" cholesterol). This increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure—conditions that often develop without noticeable symptoms.

Women over 55 are particularly vulnerable because:

• Heart disease is the leading cause of death in postmenopausal women.
• Cholesterol imbalances often go unnoticed until they cause serious health issues.
• Lifestyle, genetics, and hormone changes all play a role in cholesterol levels.

Regular cholesterol testing helps detect imbalances early, allowing you to adjust your diet, lifestyle, or seek medical advice before complications arise. By monitoring cholesterol levels, women over 55 can take proactive steps to protect their heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones, slowing down metabolism and affecting energy levels, weight, and brain function. Women over 55 are at a higher risk, with up to 1 in 20 affected—many without realising it.

Common symptoms include:

• Fatigue and sluggishness even after rest
• Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
• Brain fog, forgetfulness, or trouble concentrating
• Dry skin, brittle nails, and thinning hair
• Feeling unusually cold, even in warm environments
• Low mood or depression-like symptoms

Because hypothyroidism develops gradually, symptoms are often mistaken for normal aging. Testing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels helps determine if your thyroid is functioning properly. Early detection can prevent long-term complications like heart disease, high cholesterol, and osteoporosis, making regular thyroid testing an important part of women’s health after 55.

Elevated glucose in urine suggests that your body isn’t effectively processing sugar, which can be an early sign of insulin resistance or diabetes. Normally, your kidneys filter out excess glucose, but when blood sugar levels are too high, glucose spills into the urine—this often happens in undiagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes.

Ketones in urine indicate that your body is breaking down fat for energy instead of using glucose. This can happen in uncontrolled diabetes, fasting, or low-carb diets, but in people with diabetes, it may suggest that the body isn’t producing enough insulin to regulate blood sugar properly.

If your test shows high glucose or ketones, it’s important to follow up with your doctor for further blood tests, as early detection of diabetes can help prevent complications like heart disease and nerve damage.

The Bowel Health (FOB) Test checks for hidden (occult) blood in stool, which can be an early warning sign of polyps, ulcers, or colorectal cancer. Since bowel cancer risk increases after 55, regular screening is recommended, even if you don’t have symptoms.

When should you take this test?

• If you experience persistent digestive issues like changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or abdominal pain.
• If you have a family history of bowel cancer or polyps.
• As a routine check-up for general bowel health, particularly if you are over 55.

A positive result doesn’t always mean cancer—it could indicate other conditions like haemorrhoids or inflammation—but it’s important to speak with your doctor for further evaluation if blood is detected.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. Inflammation isn’t always bad—it helps fight infections and heal injuries—but chronic low-grade inflammation has been linked to heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions.

For women over 55, estrogen levels decline after menopause, which may contribute to increased inflammation and a higher risk of conditions like osteoporosis, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. Elevated CRP levels can be a warning sign of hidden health issues even before symptoms appear.

Testing CRP levels can help assess your overall health, particularly if you have risk factors for chronic disease. If CRP is high, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes or further medical evaluation to help manage inflammation and prevent long-term complications.
