AVAILABILITYNo stock available todayNo order or booking can be made on this page. The guide below explains the intended route. Provider, product, price and follow-up arrangements must be confirmed before ordering opens.
01 · UNDERSTAND IT

Know what you’re choosing.

A joined-up home health check for the markers that commonly sit behind weight, heart and metabolic risk. It is designed to turn a laboratory report into a useful conversation and a sensible next step.

02 · PROPOSED SCOPE

What the route would need to include.

Proposed scope — subject to confirmation
  • A home sample kit with clear collection and return instructions
  • Core heart, metabolic, liver and kidney context
  • Results presented in plain English
  • A record inside My Timber so the result is not lost in an email
How to get a useful result
  • Complete the health questions before sampling
  • Collect the sample at home and return it as directed
  • Review each result in context rather than chasing one number
  • Escalate anything needing clinical attention through the advised route
03 · MAKE THE DECISION

Useful for the right bloke. Not magic.

Choose this when you want a broad baseline. Choose the Testosterone & Energy Check when persistent energy, libido or strength concerns are the main question.

Who it’s for

Men who want to understand their wider health without starting with a diagnosis.

The positives

  • Taken at home and returned by post
  • Brings key health markers into one understandable picture
  • Creates one useful next step instead of a wall of numbers

Who it’s not for

Urgent symptoms or anyone who needs immediate medical care.

The honest negatives

  • A blood test is a snapshot, not a guarantee that everything is fine
  • Some results need follow-up with a clinician or your GP
  • Home samples occasionally need to be repeated
DON’T WAIT ON A WEBSITE

When this is not the next step.

Chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, new weakness or confusion need urgent medical help. A postal blood test is never the right first step for acute symptoms.

04 · WHY SHIFT HAS INCLUDED THIS

Evidence before shelf space.

This route earns its place by solving a defined health problem. These are the standards and public-health sources behind the decision.

Risk works as a picture

The NHS Health Check combines measurements and questions to estimate cardiovascular risk; no single blood marker tells the whole story.

Silent problems are real

High blood pressure and early kidney disease can exist without obvious symptoms, which is why appropriate measurement and follow-up matter.

Evidence checked 7 September 2026. Sources can change; the latest linked guidance takes precedence.

THE POTENTIAL

A useful baseline for your heart, metabolic health, energy and longer-term Journey.

05 · WHERE IT FITS

Under the bonnet

How this could fit My Timber

Results become a baseline beside weight, waist, sleep and energy.

07 · USEFUL QUESTIONS

Before you decide.

Does it diagnose everything?

No. It provides a structured snapshot. Results, symptoms and medical history still need to be considered together.

What if a result is outside range?

The result journey explains the appropriate next door, including routine or urgent clinical follow-up where needed.
