Cholesterol
A cholesterol blood test will measure your good and bad cholesterol which may determine if you are potentially at risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Having a high Non HDL (bad) cholesterol tends not to show any symptoms.
Discover Your Cholesterol Levels at Home –
Before It’s Too Late
Imagine waking up to a heart scare that could have been prevented.
High cholesterol is a silent threat – no symptoms, no warnings – until it leads to heart disease, strokes, or worse. But you don’t have to live in uncertainty. Our at-home cholesterol blood test gives you the clarity and control to protect your health, with a nurse visiting you on your schedule.

The Hidden Danger Lurking in Your Blood – And Why It Matters to You
You need cholesterol for healthy cells, hormones, and energy. But too much “bad” cholesterol (LDL) builds up silently, narrowing arteries and raising your risk of heart attacks or strokes. “Good” cholesterol (HDL) fights back by clearing it out – but without testing, you won’t know if your levels are out of balance.
The scary part? 80% of your cholesterol is made by your body, and the rest comes from diet. Factors like family history, poor eating habits, smoking, or inactivity can tip the scales – often without a single sign. If you’re over 40, carrying extra weight, or have a family history of heart issues, this could be affecting you right now.
Don’t let “what if” become “if only.” A quick blood test reveals your risks and empowers you to act – potentially adding years to your life.
Is High Cholesterol Sneaking Up on You? Common Triggers to Watch For
High cholesterol doesn’t discriminate – it could be genetic (like Familial Hypercholesterolaemia) or from lifestyle choices. Ask yourself:
- Do you eat fatty foods, drink regularly, or skip exercise?
- Are you overweight, diabetic, or dealing with high blood pressure?
- Does heart disease run in your family?
Without symptoms, it’s easy to ignore – until a health crisis hits. But knowledge is power. Our test spots issues early, so you can make simple changes and avoid regrets.
Your Easy Path to Lower Cholesterol – And Lasting Peace of Mind
The good news? You can turn things around. Start with:
- Diet Tweaks: Swap saturated fats for heart-healthy options – think more fruits, veggies, and lean proteins.
- Daily Movement: Just 30 minutes of walking 5x a week can boost your “good” HDL.
- Lifestyle Shifts: Quit smoking, cut back on alcohol (under 14 units/week), and shed excess weight.
- Medical Support: If needed, your GP can add meds – but testing first gives you the full picture.

Cholesterol
Your liver makes cholesterol and can be found in many foods you eat such as dairy, meats and fish.
There are two main types of cholesterol: HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are the most common type of fat in your body. They come from foods we eat (such as dairy, meat, oils) or made by our liver. Any excess calories your body doesn’t need straight away is converted into Triglycerides and stored in your fat cells to be used when needed for energy.
LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)
LDL is known as the bad cholesterol, as it can block up our blood vessels causing them to narrow. Sometimes a clot can form and get stuck in these narrow vessels leading to a heart attack.
Non-HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol
Non-HDL cholesterol is your total cholesterol minus your HDL. The higher the number of the Non-HDL cholesterol may be indicative that you could be at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)
HDL is known as the good cholesterol as it helps remove other forms of cholesterol from your bloodstream. Higher levels of HDL are associated with lower risk of heart disease.
