FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers. If yours isn’t here, ask us.
The test
What does a fatty-acid test measure?
The test analyses the fatty-acid make-up of a dried blood drop. The report shows, among other things, your omega-6:3 balance, your Omega-3 Index and other fatty-acid markers. It reflects your intake over recent months. It does not tell you whether you are ill or healthy.
Is it hard to take the sample yourself?
Most people need five to ten minutes. You prick your finger with a single-use lancet, let a few drops fall onto a filter card, let it dry and post it. We have a step-by-step guide.
Results
How long until I get my results?
The lab usually needs a few weeks from when the sample arrives. You are told when your results are ready and view them in your own results portal.
Is this a medical test or a diagnosis?
No. The test gives you information about your fatty-acid balance, which we use in nutrition coaching. It does not diagnose anything. If you have health concerns, or a value is outside the lab’s reference range, talk to your GP.
Why retest?
One test shows where you stand today. A retest, usually after about 120 days, shows whether the changes you made actually moved the numbers.
Coaching
Which program is right for me?
It comes down to how much support you want, not what you “need”. All three programs start with a test and a personal strategy. The longer programs add more coaching, more testing and longer follow-up. A free intro call helps you choose.
Can two of us in the same household join?
Yes. With “Do it together” you share joint sessions, while each of you keeps your own tests, account and results. One partner never sees the other’s results without consent. Adults (18+) only.
How are the tests ordered?
You pay one total price for the program. We order the included tests in your name, on your own customer account, and they ship directly to you.
Privacy
Can I upload my results here?
No, and please don’t send test values through forms, email or Instagram. Your results live in the results portal. If you are a client, we go through them together in a secure conversation.
What happens to my answers in the check?
The check asks about habits, not symptoms or health. Your answers are used to give you a result type. We don’t use marketing tracking on the check or the result pages.
