Helfy® Lipid Profile

Optimize the flow of your longevity.

Cardiovascular integrity is a non-negotiable pillar of the centenarian healthspan. This doctor-led diagnostic panel provides a high-resolution map of your circulating lipids, moving beyond "total cholesterol" to evaluate the specific fractions that influence arterial health. By analysing the balance between protective and atherogenic particles, we provide the clinical data necessary to protect your vascular integrity.

🔬 What We Test — And Why It Matters

The Lipid Fractions & Ratios

• Total Cholesterol & LDL Cholesterol
  Often labeled "bad" cholesterol, LDL represents the primary particles that can contribute to plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) when oxidized or present in excess.
• HDL Cholesterol & HDL % of Total
  The "protective" fraction. We look at the percentage of HDL relative to your total cholesterol as a key indicator of your body's ability to transport lipids away from the arterial walls.
• Non-HDL Cholesterol
  Calculated by subtracting HDL from your total cholesterol, this provides a comprehensive measure of all potentially harmful, atherogenic lipoproteins in your blood.
• Triglycerides
  Circulating fats used for energy. Elevated levels are a sensitive marker for metabolic dysfunction, high sugar intake, and increased cardiovascular risk.

⚠️ Important Clinical Requirement

• This blood panel must be followed by a consultation with the Helfy® Clinic you are registered to.
• Without a booked clinical review, we are unable to process or release this blood test order.
• Results are not issued without appropriate medical oversight.

Lipid data must be interpreted in the context of your blood pressure, metabolic health, and family history to accurately calculate your long-term cardiovascular risk.

🔐 Clinical Governance Notice

How We Protect You

• All diagnostic blood panels require a follow-up consultation with the Helfy® Clinic you are registered to
• Results are not released without clinical review
• Orders without a booked consultation cannot be processed

This is a doctor-led diagnostic pathway designed for clinical safety and the proactive prevention of vascular disease.

💡 Designed for people who:

This Panel Is For You If You:

• Want to establish a baseline for their cardiovascular health and biological age
• Have a family history of heart disease or high cholesterol
• Are optimizing their diet (e.g., Keto, Paleo, or Plant-based) and want to track the impact
• Experience metabolic shifts or have concerns about arterial health
• Prioritize vascular resilience as a non-negotiable pillar of longevity

🧪 How to prepare for your helfy®Test

Pre-Test Instructions

• Sample Type
  This test requires a venous blood draw performed by a qualified clinician.
• Diet
  You must fast for 10–12 hours prior to the test. Water only. The intake of fats or sugars shortly before the test will significantly distort your Triglyceride and LDL readings.
• Alcohol
  Avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to the draw, as it can acutely elevate triglyceride levels.
• Timing
  Take your sample before 10am to ensure a standardized fasted baseline.
• Activity
  Avoid strenuous, exhaustive exercise for 24 hours prior, as acute physical stress can temporarily shift lipid concentrations.
