What's measured

Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in the development of secondary sex characteristics, fertility, muscle strength, and bone health.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a type of protein produced by your liver, which is responsible for transporting testosterone and some other hormones through the bloodstream. SHBG levels that are too high or too low can be a sign that there is to much or or little amounts of certain hormones for your body to use.

Free Androgen Index (FAI)

The FAI is not a measure of a particular hormone, but a comparison of the total amount of testosterone in your blood compared to your levels of SHBG. FAI can help indicate how much free testosterone is available for your body to use.

Our process

How it all works?

step 1

Choose your test

The user or the partner selects one of Lola's existing tests, each assigned a unique code linking the test to the partner. This code ensures proper tracking for referrals, results access, or both, depending on the partnership type.

step 2

Choose a date/time for sample collection

The user schedules a sample collection during checkout, choosing from Lola's available options (at home, clinic visits) or opts for the partner to perform the blood draw if their partnership supports it.

step 3

Blood sample taken and sent to Lab

Samples are analysed at our CQC-compliant and NHS-standard labs, providing accurate and detailed breakdowns for each test.

step 4

Personalised Doctor Review

Results are made available through Lola's intuitive partner portal, complete with actionable insights and customisable reporting options for the partner and user.

What gets tested

Complete panel for your health

36 biomarkers

Blood Analysis

Albumin: The main protein in blood plasma, important for maintaining blood volume and pressure. Why measure: To assess liver function and overall protein levels.

Ferritin: A protein that stores and releases iron, indicating the body's iron reserves. Why measure: To evaluate iron levels and diagnose iron deficiency or overload.

FAQ

All your questions. Answered.

Why do we offer more health markers at affordable prices?

We are dedicated to the importance of regular testing and understanding your body's changes over time. Limiting tests to a few markers or imposing high costs compromises this vital process.

Fingerprick testing presents significant challenges, which is why we exclusively offer samples collected by a phlebotomist at the most affordable prices. Our comprehensive testing includes a wide range of markers.

Join us in our mission to empower more people to gain meaningful health insights over time.

Why don't you offer fingerprick testing?

Fingerprick testing is both unreliable and often an unpleasant experience, as anyone who has tried to squeeze blood into small tubes will testify. Squeezing actually leads to invalid markers, as it affects the sample quality.

Additionally, due to the high volume of markers we offer, a fingerprick sample would further reduce the quality of the results. Therefore, we do not offer fingerprick testing.

Tell me more about the blood collection service

Once you have placed an order, we will contact you to find a suitable time and location for your blood sample collection. If you have any special requests, please let us know when we contact you.

The nurses/phlebotomists usually work in the NHS and work for Lola part-time for additional income. They are all very kind, experienced, and extremely well-vetted.

How should I prepare and what happens after the blood collection?

Before Your Blood Collection:

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to make the blood draw easier.
  • Stay Warm: Use warm clothes or a heating pad to improve blood flow.
  • Pets: Keep pets away during the blood draw to avoid any interruptions.
  • Location: Choose a well-lit area, like a kitchen table or a comfy chair, for the procedure.
  • Special Needs: Inform us of any past issues or special requirements you may have.

After the Procedure:

  • Apply Pressure: Press the wound for at least 2 minutes to stop bleeding.
  • Keep Dressing On: Leave the dressing on for at least 1 hour to prevent infection.
  • Avoid Heavy Lifting: Don’t overuse your arm for the rest of the day to avoid strain.

Watch for These Signs:

  • Excessive Bruising: Apply pressure and ice. The bruising should subside in a few days.
  • Continued Pain: Use an ice pack for swelling. Persistent pain is rare but possible.
  • Continued Bleeding: Apply strong pressure for at least 10 minutes. Call 999 if you feel lightheaded.

Now, your blood sample will be sent by our phlebotomist to the NHS-accredited lab. Once processed, it will be reviewed by our doctors and will be sent to you with a tailored review.

How accurate are the tests?

We only use UK government-approved NHS labs for the blood analysis, ensuring the same high level of accuracy at 99.8%, provided the sample is posted the same day using our Tracked 24 service. The phlebotomist will post the sample for you when they leave.

For this reason, we aim to schedule blood sample collection appointments with you from Monday to Wednesday.

Does a doctor review my results?

Our team of doctors reviews all blood results and provides a comprehensive written analysis, highlighting any markers that fall outside the normal range.

Our dedicated admin team will contact you the same day to schedule the phlebotomy appointment. The phlebotomist will collect your sample and then send the kit to the lab using Tracked 24 service. Once the lab receives the kit, your results will be ready within 2 working days.

How do I get the results?

Results are emailed as well as viewable in our Apple and Android apps. The apps can show trends over time as you take more tests.

Can I download my results to share with my GP?

Yes, you can download your results from the mobile app as a PDF or CSV to share with your GP.

What are the policies on cancellations and refunds?

For more information, please visit Refund & Cancellation

Do you show boundaries/ranges in your results?

Yes, all our biomarkers come with the ranges that are normal for your gender and age. Our doctor will also review your results and comment if anything is out of range.

Does the phlebotomist send my kit to the lab?

Yes, the nurse/phlebotomist will send your kit to the lab for analysis.

Are there any additional costs?

No, the phlebotomy appointment and doctor review are all included as part of the price.
