The Silent Build-Up: Why "Feeling Fine" Isn't Enough
For many men, the path to chronic disease is a slow, invisible process. The generic advice to "eat better and exercise more" doesn't account for the complex, interconnected systems driving your health. While you're focused on the external, silent shifts may be happening on the inside. These issues; they are all connected. The key to controlling them lies in a place most men overlook: your gut microbiome.
The gradual accumulation of visceral belly fat and the slow slide into insulin resistance, setting the stage for Type 2 Diabetes.
The decrease in mental sharpness and focus that you can't seem to shake, signalling that your brain may not be getting the specific fuel it needs.
The subtle decline in energy, drive, and recovery that you might write off as just "getting older," but is often a sign of deeper imbalances.
The unseen build-up of inflammation and harmful metabolites in your system that contribute to heart disease long before symptoms appear.

A standard blood test is a valuable snapshot, but it's incomplete. It doesn't analyse the engine of your health: your gut microbiome. Our testing identifies critical risk factors, like gut-derived inflammatory compounds, that are simply invisible in a regular check-up. We provide the "why" behind the numbers on your blood report.
No. This is the opposite. Generic diets often fail because they aren't designed for your biology. We take the guesswork out of it. Instead of telling you to follow a rigid plan, we give you a precise, personalised roadmap based on what your body actually needs, making it more effective and easier to sustain.
Chronic disease is a long game. The silent build-up of risk happens over decades when you "feel fine." The smartest time to act is when you are still healthy. vivaBALANCE is about proactive prevention—making precise adjustments now to build a more resilient body and secure your health for the future. It’s about ensuring the man you are a decade from now is just as strong and vital as you are today.
Your gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that produces thousands of compounds (metabolites) that enter your bloodstream. Some of these are beneficial, while others can cause inflammation and damage throughout your body, including your cardiovascular system and brain. By analysing your gut, we get a direct view of this "factory" and can help you optimise it to produce the compounds that protect your long-term health.
Not at all. The tests are simple, non-invasive, and can be completed from the comfort of your own home. We provide clear instructions and everything you need to collect your samples easily and discreetly.

"Men’s health is personal for me. It’s about being present for every moment that counts. Too often, men wait for a crisis before acting. I urge all men to get proactive, not just for themselves, but for the people who depend on them. Understanding your body is the key to showing up strong for the long haul."
