Cholesterol Testing
Know Your Good Cholesterol from Your Bad
We’ve all heard “cholesterol is bad”, but you might not know more than that. High levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, estimated to be present in up to 59% of British adults, can cause plaque to build up in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes.
But “good” LDL cholesterol actually helps the liver flush out harmful HDL. Knowing your good and bad cholesterol levels can help understand your risk of developing debilitating health problems, and access support to reduce, reverse or avoid them.
You don’t have to wait for a GP appointment or hospital referral, we can obtain your cholesterol levels from a simple finger-prick test in our private clinic room.
Once analysed, together we can discuss your results and appropriate next steps, including support with healthy lifestyle choices like exercise and diet, reducing smoking and alcohol consumption, combatting stress and a varied or specialist diet, or referring you for further treatment. Helping to keep you in the know and helping you to stay healthy.
