SHIFT HEALTH · Lab-test
Heart Health Lab-test
Coming soon: a laboratory lipid panel with several cholesterol measurements. It gives more detail than the home total-cholesterol band, but does not assess the whole heart.
SampleFinger-prick blood sample
ResultConfirmed at launch
AvailabilityComing soon
Laboratory testing is delivered with our specialist testing partner.
01
WHAT IT IS
What it checks, explained.
This planned blood test looks at the fats carried in your blood: total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides are the currently listed markers. Final panel details will be confirmed before sale.
The separate figures help explain the balance behind a total-cholesterol number. They do not measure blood pressure, show whether an artery is blocked or check your heart rhythm.
- Total cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- Non-HDL cholesterol
02
YOUR REASON
Why it might be useful.
It may suit someone who wants a fuller cholesterol picture to discuss with a healthcare professional, especially where a family history or an earlier result has raised a question.
For the SHIFT journey, this is about understanding risk alongside everyday changes—not trying to prove your heart is healthy with one test.
03
HOW IT WORKS
The evidence. The limits.
A laboratory analyses the returned blood sample. A healthcare professional interprets a lipid profile alongside factors such as blood pressure, age, smoking, diabetes and family history.
These independent sources explain the health context. They do not endorse this particular product.
04
USING IT WELL
Use it with the right advice.
If you take a statin or have known cardiovascular disease, ask your clinician which tests you need and when. Follow the final collection instructions, including any preparation requirements.

THE SHIFT VIEW
Why we include it.
We include a planned lab option because a detailed lipid profile answers a different question from the simpler home total-cholesterol test. The distinction should help you choose the level of information you actually need.
You can keep using My Timber without buying a test, supplement or bundle. If a GP assessment or a different product better answers your question, that is the better next step.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple steps.
Clear instructions.
A quick overview of the current product information. Your kit’s leaflet gives the full preparation, sample amounts and reading window; follow it when testing.
01
Receive your kit.
Once ordering opens, the delivery charge and timing will be clear before payment.
02
Collect your sample.
Collect a small finger-prick blood sample using the lancet and collection equipment supplied.
03
Return it to the lab.
Put the sample in the supplied prepaid return packaging and post it as the kit instructs.
04
Receive your report.
Access your report through our testing partner’s secure results portal when analysis is complete.
YOUR NEXT STEP
Put it in context.
Discuss the report with a GP or qualified clinician. They can consider your overall risk and whether lifestyle support, repeat testing or treatment is appropriate.
