You want to know where you stand
A comprehensive map of your health right now. Inflammation, metabolism, hormones, vitamin and mineral status. Not just within reference range, but what the values say about how you actually feel.
Health Assessment. With a physician who turns it into a plan.
Over 50 blood markers analyzed from a functional medicine perspective. A 60-minute video visit with a specialist physician. A written personalized health plan to return to, and a physician who follows it with you.
What it is
A blood analysis without interpretation is just numbers.
It is easy to buy a blood test today, and several services do it well: you get your values, reference ranges, and a digital comment. The Health Assessment is something else. A 60-minute video visit where, together, we go through your lab results, your symptoms, and the personalized health plan I have drawn up from the full picture of your health.
The lab work covers over 50 blood markers analyzed from a functional medicine perspective. Not only to rule out disease, but to identify imbalances that affect your vitality, recovery, and how you age.
After the visit you receive your health plan in writing via a secure link, so you have something concrete to return to. And the next time we meet, we compare against your own values, not just against a reference range.
The method
How I work. In six steps.
Measure, interpret, follow. The same structure runs through everything I offer, from the Health Assessment to the deeper assessments and the membership.
- I
Blood draw
Over 50 blood markers at Synlab, fasting in the morning, about a week before the visit. The panel is composed so that every marker can change an assessment or a recommendation.
- II
Health questionnaires
Two health questionnaires on your history, symptoms, lifestyle habits, and goals. Your story guides what I look for.
- III
Preparation
Before we meet, I go through your responses and lab results. That time is part of the service.
- IV
Video visit
A 60-minute video visit where we go through the values and relate them to how you feel and any health problems: your own history, family history of disease, current symptoms, and what it means for you specifically.
- V
Written plan
A personalized health plan with concrete priorities: nutrition, training, sleep, any medical measures, and what should be followed up, when and why. The plan is a living document, not a receipt.
- VI
Ongoing follow-up
Abnormal values are followed up with targeted re-testing within three months, and the full panel is repeated once a year. A deeper assessment or membership when it adds something.
What’s included
In the price.
- Blood draw · Over 50 blood markers at Synlab on a drop-in basis (fasting, morning) or at one of Synlab partner clinics. Where Synlab is not available near you, you can order the panel at another accredited lab and upload the results securely before the visit.
- Health questionnaires · Two questionnaires on your history, symptoms, and goals ahead of the visit
- My preparation · A review of your responses and lab results before we meet
- Video visit · 60 minutes with Dr Nathalie Helm, wherever in Sweden you live
- Written health plan · A personalized plan to return to
- Follow-up · Targeted re-testing within three months and the annual check-up are included in the membership. Without a membership, the follow-up is booked separately, 2,900 SEK
More markers are not more knowledge. The panel: 56 markers for women, 52 for men.
Blood count · 8 components (Hb, white blood cells, platelets, and more). Inflammation · hsCRP, ESR, urate. Liver · ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin. Kidney and electrolytes · creatinine, cystatin C, eGFR, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate. Blood sugar and insulin · fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR. Lipids · total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, non-HDL, triglycerides, ApoA1, ApoB, ApoB/ApoA1 ratio, Lp(a). Vitamins and minerals · vitamin D, B12, folate, homocysteine, ferritin, iron. Thyroid · TSH, free T3, free T4, TPO antibodies (women). Hormones · FSH and estradiol (women); PSA (men); SHBG, testosterone, DHEA-s, cortisol, prolactin, and IGF-1 for both.
This is a broad baseline panel, the starting point for your assessment. When your results call for it, we add targeted tests. That keeps the cost of the first step down, and we go deeper only when it genuinely adds something.
Who it’s for
When a Health Assessment fits.
The Health Assessment is for those who want to understand their health in depth, not just whether their values fall within the reference range.
02
You have persistent problems
Fatigue, sleep, gut, hormones, autoimmune. Symptoms that have never been explained. We go deeper than the standard panel and look for underlying causes.
03
You want to optimize
Healthy but curious about what you can do to stay healthy longer. A baseline you can follow over time, plus concrete interventions to start with.
Who you meet
The visit is held by me, Nathalie Helm.
Licensed physician since 2001, specialist physician and Associate Professor in medical epidemiology, with a research background at Karolinska Institutet and Harvard. Read more about me and why I do this.
I sought help from Dr Helm due to weight gain. When I did an InBody scan, the situation became clear in a concrete and motivating way. I was given a structured plan with lifestyle advice that was easy to follow, along with treatment introduced where it was clinically indicated. The whole approach felt well thought out and tailored to me as an individual, giving me both insight and direction.
Kristina
Dr Helm listened, asked the right questions, and went through my test results calmly and thoroughly. The plan I received was concrete and tailored to me, and I have followed it ever since. I feel considerably better today.

Practical
How it works.
You book online and receive a confirmation with instructions and health questionnaires. The blood draw is done fasting in the morning; if you have a menstrual cycle, FSH and estradiol are preferably drawn on day 3 to 5 of the cycle, so time the blood draw accordingly. The video visit is 60 minutes, wherever in Sweden you live, and you receive the health plan in writing via a secure link after the visit. Expect 1 to 4 weeks from booking to plan.
After the Health Assessment
This is the beginning, not the end.
The Health Assessment is the foundation everything else is built on. Based on your values and your goals, we can add a deeper assessment in menopause, metabolic health, physical health, or whole-body MRI, or a single add-on, without you paying for the Health Assessment again. Only what contributes to the assessment is added.
Abnormal values are followed up with targeted re-testing and a 30-minute video visit within three months. As a member, that is included. Without a membership, you book the follow-up for 2,900 SEK. The full panel is repeated once a year.
And if you want me to follow you over time, with an annual check-up, your trends, and a plan that is kept alive, there is the membership from 1,950 SEK/month. It can start right after the visit.
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between this and Werlabs or a pharmacy test?
The lab work is equivalent, often the same laboratory. The difference is three things: the selection of markers, the interpretation from a functional medicine perspective where we look at imbalances and not just disease, and the time and the written health plan you get with me as a specialist physician trained in longevity. You meet me personally, Dr Nathalie Helm, in a 60-minute video visit. That time is what you pay for: the preparation before the visit, the 60 minutes, and the personalized plan, which is often extensive. If you only need the numbers, a blood test service is excellent. If you want to know what they mean and what to do about them, this is the right purchase.
How long does the whole process take?
Expect 1 to 4 weeks. You normally book the visit about a week out and have the blood draw done while you wait. If you are a woman with a menstrual cycle, I prefer to draw estradiol and FSH on day 3 to 5 of the cycle, so you time the blood draw accordingly and book the visit a few days after the blood draw.
Do I need to prepare in any special way?
Two things. The blood draw is done fasting in the morning, so no food or drink other than water from the evening before. Plus two health questionnaires that take approximately 20 minutes to complete. You receive detailed instructions once you have booked.
Can I bring earlier test results?
Please do. Older values improve the picture, especially for seeing trends. Upload them via a secure message link directly into my medical records system before the visit.
What happens if something is abnormal?
That is often why you do a Health Assessment. Abnormal findings get a plan: sometimes a measure you take yourself, sometimes additional testing, and when it is medically warranted I write a referral and follow you until the right provider has taken over.
Can I do the Health Assessment annually?
Yes, I recommend the full panel once a year. Most people have some abnormal value at the first Health Assessment, and we follow those values up with targeted re-testing and a 30-minute video visit within three months, not with a new full panel. The follow-up is included in the membership and costs 2,900 SEK without membership. At the annual Health Assessment there is then a baseline to compare against, and as a member the annual check-up is included in the fee.
Nathalie Helm helped me recover from severe digestive problems that had limited both my everyday life and my quality of life for a long time. Her professional manner, thorough investigation, and ability to see the whole picture meant that I finally received a treatment plan that worked. Thanks to her expertise and attentiveness, I got help rebuilding my health and energy, with a gut that works and the knowledge of what I need to do to feel well. Nathalie is a physician who combines knowledge with genuine commitment, and I warmly recommend her to anyone seeking effective and considerate care.
