Foundation Programme

We have designed this package based on many years of experience working with clients and we feel that this is the most appropriately structured package for the majority of clients at the beginning of their health journey.

This programme runs for approximately 4-5 months from the date of your first consultation. Once the programme has finished we would generally recommend maintenance consultations on an ad hoc basis to continue to support you with your health goals.

We have a long-standing relationship with 2 leading cardiologists and imaging specialists to facilitate a precision-based approach. This approach is at the cutting edge of preventative cardiology care.

“I originally came to see Pete for health optimisation. I have always been proactive when it comes to my health - keeping fit, eating well, and monitoring my biomarkers. My blood results had shown that I am metabolically healthy except for high cholesterol. I was not overly concerned about the high cholesterol because all of my other markers were in range, I felt fit and healthy, and my understanding was that high cholesterol was not a cause for concern.

After working with Pete and building a personalised health programme together, I have come to understand that elevated cholesterol levels over time particularly when combined with a family history of heart disease, is likely to be problematic. Pete referred me to his colleague Professor Al-Lamee to undergo a CT Angiogram which showed disease in the coronary arteries. I'm really grateful to Pete and Professor Al-Lamee as I am now benefitting from the best of preventative cardiology to reduce my risk and optimise my health.”
