“Optional” Comprehensive blood tested health check
What you can expect
Unique to Yogalife retreats, as part of our first class service, we will also be able to provide you with insight into your cells’ health and productivity levels via a finger prick blood test. Your cells are responsible for nearly every single function in the body including building bones, organs, ligaments, cartilage, skin and muscle as well as repairing injuries. Your cells are also responsible for the absorption of nutrients (converting those nutrients to energy), removing toxins, fighting disease, the list is endless. Armed with the blood test results we can determine a number of things:
- Your cells’ omega 6-3 ratio - are your cells inflamed? If the structure of your cell is in balance then so are you chemically, physically and emotionally
- Cell membrane fluidity - this determines your absorption level of nutrients from foods and your efficiency in releasing toxins from the cell
- Your cells’ protection level
- Your Arachidonic acid index - this is your ability to fight disease and viruses (immune strength) and also your ability to repair tissue after trauma
- Mental strength - this looks at the balance and supply of omega 3-6 to the brain and nervous system. 1 omega 3 to 1 omega 6 is optimum - this will affect mood and brain- related wellness
If you would like the blood tested health check, please contact Gareth directly, and follow next steps below.
In order for us to provide you with this insight, you will need to arrange for a painless easy finger prick blood test to be carried out at least three weeks before you leave for your retreat, blood tests can be carried out by Gareth Caple, or if it’s more convenient for you, they can be posted directly to your door for you to carry out yourself.
To arrange a blood test please call Gareth on 07979 520 339.
