At Randox Health, we are proud to support elite athletes like Welsh rugby international Alex Cuthbert in their pursuit of peak performance.

Recently, Alex underwent our comprehensive Discovery health check, a powerful diagnostic tool that delivers an in-depth analysis of up to 150 data biomarkers.

This advanced assessment is designed to provide you with detailed insights into your health, enabling you to fine-tune your training, nutrition, and recovery strategies for peak performance.

For professional athletes, performance isn’t just about training harder – it’s about training smarter.

Our Discovery health check identifies the underlying biomarkers that influence everything from energy levels to recovery time, helping individuals tailor their routines for optimal results. For Alex, gaining this level of insight could be a game-changer.

Through the Discovery package, we measure key indicators such as hormone levels, nutrient levels, inflammation markers, liver & kidney function, and cardiovascular health.

These metrics are critical for athletes or anyone who wants to ensure their body is functioning at its absolute best. For example, by assessing testosterone levels, we can provide insights into muscle development and energy levels – two crucial areas for anyone competing at the highest level.

We also look at markers like creatine kinase, which help us monitor muscle damage and recovery.

Elevated levels may indicate overtraining or a need to adjust intensity, allowing for more efficient and sustainable progress. In Alex’s case, this type of information is vital in maintaining performance across a demanding rugby season.

Another vital aspect of our Discovery health check is nutritional profiling. We test for deficiencies in key vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin D, B12, and iron – nutrients that play a central role in energy production, endurance, and immune support.

Even slight imbalances can have a dramatic impact on physical performance. With this knowledge, Alex and his team can make targeted dietary changes to ensure he remains in top condition.

Inflammation is another important area of focus. By measuring C-reactive protein (CRP), we assess chronic inflammation levels that can affect recovery and increase the risk of injury.

For athletes like Alex, managing inflammation is essential not just for performance, but also for longevity in their careers.

At Randox Health, we believe that everyone – athletes and non-athletes alike – deserves access to this level of personal health insight.

The Discovery health check is designed not only to uncover any potential health issues, but to empower individuals with the information they need to put real wellness within reach.

Alex Cuthbert’s experience highlights the importance of proactive, data-driven health testing.

With Randox Health, he’s able to monitor his progress, fine-tune his performance strategy, and stay ahead of any potential health concerns.

Whether you’re training for the Six Nations or simply want to get the peace of mind you deserve, our Discovery health check helps you to shape a healthier future with personalised insights and meaningful action plans, tailored to put real wellness within reach.
