The At-Home Health MOT also includes a free review from a clinician who will personally check your results to make sure they’re normal. They will give feedback based on the outcome of your test and, if necessary, organise a free phone consultation with you to discuss your results in further detail.

The At-Home Health MOT is a convenient way to get clear and accurate insights into your health. This is especially useful if you’re thinking about making lifestyle changes and want to see the exact impact these changes have on your body.

Once you’ve taken your first Health MOT, a clinician can track your progress as the months progress and offer tailored health advice based on your needs. With the clinician’s support, you’ll be able to make informed adjustments to your lifestyle that can help to optimise your health and wellbeing.

Additionally, you may want to use the At-Home MOT if you have concerns about:

• Tiredness: extreme fatigue can sometimes be caused by anaemia, low testosterone, or thyroid problems. To help you identify if your tiredness is being caused by one of these conditions, the At-Home Health MOT measures your ferritin level (to test for anaemia) as well as your testosterone level and thyroid function.
• Sexual function and fertility: testosterone is crucial for male fertility and plays an important role in maintaining a healthy sex drive (libido). Low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction (ED) and fertility issues, which is why it’s recommended that you have your testosterone level measured with an At-Home Health MOT if you’re experiencing ED, or have problems with your fertility.
• Long-term health: the At-Home Health MOT is able to determine heart disease risk by measuring the level of cholesterol and other fats in your body. The test also assesses the function of your liver and kidneys to see if they are performing normally. This is important, as these organs play a vital role in keeping the body free of toxins.
• Muscle and bone health: vitamin D helps to maintain muscle and bone health. However, about 1 in 5 people in the UK are low on vitamin D. Therefore, it’s a good idea to measure your vitamin D level with an At-Home Health MOT, as it can indicate if you are likely to benefit from taking a vitamin D supplement to help you maintain your muscle and bone health.
• Vitamin and mineral levels: vitamins and minerals play key roles in keeping the body healthy, which is why it’s important to make sure you have normal levels of these nutrients. The At-Home Health MOT measures your magnesium, zinc, and B12 folate levels to give you a clear picture of your nutrient levels, and help you decide if you should take supplements to give your body extra nutritional support.

You should receive your blood test results three to five working days after you post your samples. Your results will arrive via email, so keep an eye on your inbox so you don’t miss them.

You will also have access to your results on your Numan Account. These can be viewed whenever you wish to help you track your progress over time.

Our blood test results are easy to understand and any readings that aren’t optimal will be highlighted clearly. Your results will also be reviewed by a clinician who can offer feedback and advice based on the outcome of your test.

Once you receive your results, a clinician will give you feedback related to your test. Please note that our clinicians personally review each test, so please allow some time for their feedback to come through. When it does, you’ll be able to use their guidance to make lifestyle choices that help to optimise your health.

Each blood sample is carefully processed by County Pathology: a fully accredited, MHRA approved UK laboratory.

Both At-Home Health MOTs can be taken in the comfort of your own home, and both test for the same biomarkers and health indicators. What’s more, both come with a free review from a UK clinician who can give you personalised health advice based on your test results.

The main difference between the two is that the At-Home Health MOT (One-Off) is a blood test that you take once, whereas the At-Home Health MOT is a recurring blood test that you take every three months.

The test you choose depends on how you’d prefer to monitor your health. The At-Home Health MOT (One-Off) provides a one-time snapshot of your health, which one of our clinicians can review to give you expert health support.

On the other hand, the At-Home Health MOT is ideal for tracking your health over time. By taking a blood test every three months, you and the clinician can accurately monitor your health and chart your progress. The clinician will be able to give you personalised lifestyle advice to help you improve your health, and may also suggest medication or supplements to complement any lifestyle changes you make.

The At-Home Health MOT is a finger-prick blood test, so you may feel a small scratch when you use the lancet provided with it to take a blood sample.

Once you’ve completed your At-Home Health MOT and sealed your blood sample in the prepaid envelope provided with it, you can post it in any UK postbox to send it to the lab free of charge.
