Baseline Bloods + Functional Medicine Consult (Male)

A comprehensive 65-biomarker blood panel designed for men, drawn by registered nurses at Super Young and reviewed in a follow-up consultation with a functional medicine doctor. Covers ten categories: blood count, hormones (free testosterone, DHEA-S, cortisol, LH/FSH), thyroid (TSH, FT3, FT4), liver function (LFTs + AST), kidney function (UEC), bone health (corrected calcium, phosphate), inflammation (hsCRP, homocysteine), lipids (including ApoA1/B and HDL ratio), sugar and metabolism (HbA1c, insulin, glucose), and vitamins and minerals (active B12, vitamin D, ferritin, magnesium). Results tracked in the Super Young app.

Super Young's baseline blood panel is a functional medicine-grade blood test covering 65 biomarkers across ten categories — substantially more comprehensive than a standard GP blood test. The male panel includes full hormone profiling (free testosterone, DHEA-S, cortisol, LH, FSH, oestradiol) alongside metabolic, inflammatory, thyroid, and nutritional markers. The process begins with an onboarding questionnaire completed before your appointment — covering health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Blood is drawn by registered nurses at the clinic, typically taking around 30 minutes. Draws are available daily between 8am and 12pm, and you should fast for 8–12 hours beforehand (water is fine). Once results return from the pathology lab, you attend a separate follow-up consultation with a functional medicine doctor. Unlike a standard GP review that flags values outside reference ranges, a functional medicine approach interprets results in the context of optimal ranges — narrower, evidence-based thresholds where the body functions best. A fasting glucose of 5.4 mmol/L might be 'normal' by pathology standards but is already moving toward insulin resistance from a functional perspective. The 65 biomarkers include: - **Blood count**: Full blood count (FBC/EDTA) - **Hormones**: Free testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, cortisol, DHEA-S, progesterone - **Thyroid**: TSH, FT3, FT4 - **Liver**: LFTs + AST - **Kidneys**: UEC, urate - **Bone health**: Corrected calcium, phosphate - **Inflammation**: hsCRP, homocysteine - **Lipids**: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, HDL ratio, ApoA1, ApoB - **Sugar & metabolism**: HbA1c, insulin, glucose - **Vitamins & minerals**: Active B12, vitamin D, ferritin, magnesium Results are tracked in the Super Young app, allowing you to compare markers over time — particularly valuable when retesting at 6 or 12 months via the annual blood work package. The functional medicine doctor provides personalised recommendations covering supplementation, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle adjustments based on your individual results.
