What is private health screening?
Private health screening at Body Brilliant is the structured assessment of your current health using comprehensive blood panels, hormone testing, point-of-care assessments and, where appropriate, ongoing monitoring. Each plan is delivered by a clinician and includes a personalised review and onward plan.
Our screening goes beyond what a standard 30-minute private check-up covers. It includes extended panels, a functional interpretation and dedicated time with a physician, designed for clients who want clarity and a clear next set of actions.
Our diagnostic methodology:
Body Brilliant brings together three things: comprehensive assessment, functional interpretation, and a personalised plan.
Comprehensive assessment means we test across the major systems that drive how you feel and function: metabolic and cardiovascular markers, hormones, thyroid, iron status, vitamin and mineral levels, inflammation. Where relevant, we add specialised panels for longevity, performance or specific concerns.
Functional interpretation means our clinicians read your results in the context of your symptoms, history and goals. A result that sits inside the standard reference range is not necessarily optimal for you.
A personalised plan means you walk away with clarity: what your data shows, what to act on, in what order, and how we will measure progress over time.
Who is Diagnostic Testing for?
Demanding careers leave little time for health admin. A private health screening sets a clear baseline across energy, metabolism, hormones and key risk markers, with a personalised plan that fits around a busy schedule.
High-performing professionals
Women approaching 40 or Perimenopause
Hormonal changes, energy shifts, sleep disruption and changes in body composition can be confusing. Detailed hormone testing alongside thyroid, iron and metabolic panels gives a clearer picture and forms the basis of a personalised plan.
Cardiovascular risk markers, hormonal profile, metabolic health, energy and recovery captured in one view. Our 360 Plan is designed for men in mid-life who want to understand their health trajectory and act on it early, with clear priorities.
Men over 40 wanting a complete view
Where the goal is healthspan rather than disease screening, our diagnostic plans go beyond a standard check-up to include functional, metabolic and longevity-relevant markers, giving a fuller view to build around for the years ahead.

Why Choose Body Brilliant
Physician-led clinical oversight - Every diagnostic plan at Body Brilliant is overseen by Dr Mark Jinks (MBChB MRCGP MSc), our Chief Medical Officer. Your results are interpreted and explained by a clinician, not handed back as a portal full of numbers with no context.
Functional medicine perspective on root cause - Our founder, Gemma Wilkins, is a qualified nutritionist and functional medicine specialist with over 20 years of experience. That perspective shapes how we read your results: we look at what your markers mean together and what might sit behind them, not just whether each one falls inside the standard reference range.
CQC-registered - Body Brilliant is registered with the Care Quality Commission. We follow documented protocols across the diagnostic process, from sample collection and handling through to clinical review and a structured results consultation.

What to expect from your Diagnostics Appointment
-
2. Initial Consultation
A focused conversation with your physician. We map your goals, current symptoms, medical history and medications, lifestyle context and what you would like the testing to clarify.
-
2. Tests and assessments
Blood draws and any point-of-care assessments are completed at the clinic or, where appropriate, by home phlebotomy. Most plans require a single morning visit. Results typically come back within 5 to 10 working days.
-
3. Results Review
A second consultation walks you through the findings: what is normal, what is borderline, what is acting on, and what is being parked for now. The results review is the conversation, not a PDF.
-
4. Personalised plan
You leave with a personalised plan: clinical actions, lifestyle recommendations, and where appropriate referrals onwards. For clients on the 360 Plan, we build in re-testing intervals to track progress over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Body Brilliant's diagnostic testing is most appropriate for adults who want a baseline view, a personalised plan, or ongoing optimisation. It is not a substitute for the investigation of acute symptoms, which should be discussed with your GP first. The initial consultation is the right place to identify whether the Wellness Blueprint or the 360 Plan is the right fit for you, or whether neither is appropriate.
-
No, a GP referral is not required. We will, however, request your GP records if relevant, and recommend coordinating with your GP for any onward clinical actions.
-
Initial consultations typically take around 60 minutes. The results review is similar. Your morning visit for blood work and assessments takes a further 60 to 90 minutes.
-
The Wellness Blueprint includes comprehensive blood panels (full blood count, liver function, kidney function, thyroid, iron status, vitamin levels, inflammation markers, lipid profile and HbA1c) along with hormone testing where appropriate, and any point-of-care assessments included in the plan. Specific panel composition is confirmed at consultation.
-
Some elements of our diagnostic testing may be reimbursable by private medical insurance providers, particularly where there is a clinical indication. Coverage varies by insurer and policy. We are happy to provide receipts and clinical reports to support claims.
-
Most blood test results come back within around 5 to 10 working days. Specialist hormone and longevity panels can take longer. The results review is scheduled once all results are in.
-
Standard private health checks (Bupa, Nuffield and similar) typically deliver a structured 30 to 60 minute appointment with a fixed panel of tests and a brief written report. Body Brilliant's plans are physician-led across multiple consultations, with extended panels, functional interpretation and a personalised plan rather than a written report. We are also designed for ongoing relationship rather than annual check-up.
-
Yes. Hormone testing forms part of our Wellness Blueprint and 360 Plan, particularly for women in perimenopause and those approaching 40. We can also discuss specialist add-on panels at consultation.
-
Standalone blood test bookings are not our usual model, because the value is in the consultation and the personalised plan, not the lab work. If you have a specific blood test in mind, the right starting point is a brief consultation to identify whether a single test or a wider panel will be most useful.
