We all want to feel like we have optimal health and are performing at our peak. Now, more than ever. But how do we achieve this?
Most of us go through a long process of trial-and-error, testing different exercise plans and diets, trying every supplement under the sun, until we feel we have reached a good routine.
There’s no right way to achieve optimal health. Your journey to your best self may have several paths. However, there can be a structured way in which you can approach your journey towards optimal health.
And that’s exactly what we have put together. The ElevateMe health test is much more than just a simple health test. It is a single unified and personalised solution towards optimal health and wellness.
Let’s look at 5 steps our health test is based on to help you begin your health optimisation journey.
1. Assess Your Current Performance
The first step towards achieving optimal health is understanding your current health. Although there are many ways to assess performance, few of them provide you with actionable results. A DNA test could tell you that you are genetically likely to have a specific weight but not how you can work to change that.
Blood tests are a more practical measure of your well-being. They allow you to understand how changing your lifestyle can improve your performance toward optimal health. This means that after implementing lifestyle changes, you will see real changes to your well-being and performance within a few weeks.
At ElevateMe we capture a series of 21 blood test insights as well as a lifestyle assessment. We combine these together to help you understand where you stand in terms of your well-being right now. The blood test assesses a variety of important indicators, including hormones, proteins, cholesterol status and more. All of this will help us evaluate the state of your health, but it doesn’t just end there.
2. Understand Your Scores
After you receive your blood test results, you’re going to need help to understand what they mean. This is where we hand over your results to Cato, our intelligent health algorithm.
First, your data is processed to give you an overall health score. This is then further broken down into 7 health performance areas: sleep, energy, fitness, metabolism, cognition, mood and immunity. These scores are based on the combination of your lifestyle survey and the blood results. They are meant to help you understand how your lifestyle can affect your overall performance.
Most blood tests will only provide you with generic, ‘normal’ test values. Our algorithm compares your results to optimal blood levels. This ensures that you are measured against the healthiest of individuals.
By assessing against these peak performance targets, we provide targeted advice to help bring you up to 100%.
Apart from understanding your current health, our health app will also give you insight into how much you can improve in each performance area before your next re-test, helping you set clear goals for your performance.
3. Implement Our Science-Based Recommendations
One thing we all want to avoid on our journey to better health is trusting ‘magic’ health tips and products that have no scientific backing but claim to instantly solve all your issues.
Our action plan is based on carefully researched and experimentally proven scientific knowledge. We constantly update our research database after vetting them with our health advisory team.
It’s also important to us that you achieve your optimal health performance in the specific areas that you prefer. This is why our recommendations are always based on the focus areas that you have selected in your lifestyle survey, be that weight management or higher energy levels.
4. Find Motivation
It’s finally time to bring your action plan to life. But we wouldn’t throw you in the deep end without any guidance – we know that it is difficult to change your everyday habits.
This is why we help you to carefully build your action plan into your life, using helpful tips and reminders to keep you on track.
But personal encouragement isn’t the only thing you need to keep you going. We all know that it’s easier to find the motivation to go on a run with a friend than to do it by yourself. Equally, the ElevateMe community is also always there to support you in your optimal health journey. Think of this as a big family of like-minded people who are on this journey with you.
5. Re-evaluate
You’re now on track to your peak performance and health! You’re starting to feel the improvements – but how do you know that those lifestyle changes are being reflected in your blood results? To answer that question, it is important to repeat your assessment every few months. Regular blood re-testing will allow you to see your updated scores and improvement targets, track your performance trends over time and help you understand what aspects of your health you should focus on next for you to truly feel your best.
