The Explore Mens' Health Testing Service at 25 Harley Street 

The Explore package is £1500 and includes three clinically validated, men’s health tests that provide exceptional health and performance information helping to quantify progress much more accurately and revealing much about a man's general health. 

The complete set of tests include:

Resting Metabolic test - this is a resting test which assesses total caloric needs in gold standard accuracy (also known as indirect calorimetry). The test will also show fat vs carbohydrate oxidation (‘burning’) which can help to plan dietary intake as well as give an indirect indication of metabolic health. The test can also provide information about breathing rate and autonomic nervous system tone helping to plan long term health practices such as meditation, fasting and breath work. 

DEXA scan - This is a dual x-ray which shows total bone mass, lean muscle mass and fat mass as well as visceral fat (fat around the organs). This is also a gold standard clinical investigation and all tests are reviewed by a rheumatologist at 25 Harley Street. A DEXA scan is not to be confused with InBody or other gym/home scales which cannot provide this level of body composition accuracy. DEXA scans are exceptional for helping to plan your nutrition, understand your present body composition and have an objective baseline to work from. With expert input the results also have predictive value of how much muscle could be potentially gained by determining a fat free mass index score. 

Blood test - Our blood test is not a standard assessment, it is a 55-marker, male specific blood test. Showing markers for inflammation, cardiac health, hormonal health, stress and much more. This assessment is the best spread of data points on biochemistry for the average man. We make the process extremely simple and accurate by having our nurse come to your home to collect the blood sample.

Explore testing:

Do you accept female clients?

At this time, we are not accepting female clients at Miller Health as a mens' health specific service. 

What payment methods do you accept?

We use a secure third party for payments called Stripe. Payment can be made by any valid credit or debit card (including American Express). Payment must be made in full before any test is booked. 

Can I pay in instalments?

We are in the process of offering Klarna payments to allow our gentlemen who wish to use this method to access Explore. Please enquire for details. 

Where does the Explore testing take place?

All clients who take advantage of the Explore tests will have their DEXA scan and metabolic test at 25 Harley Street, London. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer these tests anywhere else in the UK.

All blood tests are taken by our phlebotomy team at the clients' home and this can be anywhere in the UK. 

Can I just do one part of the Explore test (e.g DEXA scan)?

We do not offer the Explore test in parts as each test is complementary to one another for a complete picture of a clients' health and body composition. 

How do I prepare for the tests?

For blood tests we ask clients to fast from food (not water) for 12 hours prior to the blood test but take all medication as normal. We ask clients to request a morning appointment to make the fasting period overnight and to obtain the most accurate readings for the hormone panel. 

For the metabolic test, we also request clients to fast for 12 hours and to refrain from strenuous exercise (such as gym workouts, HIIT or other exercise classes) the day before the test. Caffeine must not be consumed on the morning of the test but water can be consumed. The metabolic test requires you to wear a face mask (similar to a scuba mask) and to breathe into it in a lying position for 10 minutes. If you experience claustrophobia or cannot wear masks, this test is not suitable for you. No exercise is performed during the visit and you may wear whatever clothing you wish. 

For the DEXA scan, there is no need to fast and it can take place at any time to suit the client. 

Who performs the tests?

All tests are performed by qualified clinical staff, such as radiographers, nurses and healthcare assistants. 

When should I expect the results? 

Clients should expect the results of their tests and a compiled report within 48-72 hours by secure email.

Do you provide any nutrition advice in the report?

All reports are reviewed by Rick Miller, RD and you will receive a 30 minute consultation where the emphasis is to discuss the findings. This will include some actionable recommendations but not meal or supplementation plans. If any of the tests suggest an onward referral to a doctor should be made, this will be discussed with you.

At Miller Health we don’t follow any specific diet that is popular, it is based on your medical history, dietary needs, food and cultural preferences.
