Think of all the ways you invest in yourself without so much as batting an eyelid. A massage? You had one last week. Gym membership? Absolutely standard. Night out with friends?

It would be rude not to. However, there’s one way of investing in you that could potentially change or indeed save your life: a private blood test.

Werlabs leads the way when it comes to private blood tests at clinics and home tests across Britain. So what, you might think. Well, blood is a vital part your body. In the past, there’s a strong chance you’ve felt a certain way (sluggish? sleepy? achy?) and tried to self-medicate by changing diet, workload or lifestyle. What if there’s a specific issue that needs addressing? If it’s something that creeps up on you slowly, a dietary change won’t necessarily cut it.

‘Werlabs helps people ‘Know more. Earlier on,’ explains Dr Rangan Chatterjee, author of The Four Pillar Plan and host of the Feel Better, Live More podcast. ‘This empowers them to make sensible choices about their health.

‘The fact that Werlabs can do this, at scale, fits with my desire to help both the general public and practitioners learn and apply lifestyle medicine in the 21st century.’

A simple test with Werlabs gives a detailed picture of your health, with the Werlabs doctors providing clinical analysis and feedback as to what steps you can take to improve your health. After all, armed with hard data, it’s much easier to lead a better and, ultimately, longer life.

Werlabs wants you to put health first and, with prevention being better than a cure, £99 for a home test could be a form of self-care that’s simply too good to resist.
