Advanced Metabolic Health & Nutrition Assessment
Metabolic health is how well your body regulates processes such as blood sugar, insulin response, thyroid function, inflammation and nutrient status. Third Spring’s assessment is Clinical Nutritionist-led, with medical collaboration where appropriate. Three tiers: a 15-minute intro consult, a 30-minute clinical nutrition consult, or an Advanced Metabolic Programme with comprehensive pathology (up to 70 markers as clinically appropriate) and structured follow-ups. Any pathology or prescription treatment needs medical assessment and suitability.
Data-driven testing. Personalised nutrition. Structured support.
Common reasons people book
People book to discuss changes in energy, weight, sleep or general wellbeing.
What is metabolic health?
Metabolic health reflects how efficiently your body regulates key processes. When these systems are out of balance, it can impact weight, mood, sleep and long-term disease risk.
How we assess metabolic health
Led by our Clinical Nutritionist, assessment considers nutrition, lifestyle, symptoms and available health information. Comprehensive pathology may be discussed where appropriate; any pathology requires medical assessment and suitability.
Metabolic markers
Glucose regulation and insulin response
Lipids
Cardiovascular risk markers
Inflammation
Recovery markers
Thyroid
Function assessment
Hormones
Review where clinically appropriate
Nutrient status
Deficiency screening
Vitamin & mineral status
Key micronutrient levels
Lifestyle analysis
Sleep, stress, training and nutrition patterns
Testing and recommendations are individualised and clinician-led.

FAQs
Why can't I lose weight even with training and calories tracked?
Weight resistance can be driven by insulin response, sleep/stress load, thyroid function, inflammation, nutrient gaps and hormone-related factors. Testing may help inform an individual clinical assessment.
Do hormones affect metabolism?
Hormones can influence appetite, energy use, recovery, sleep quality and fat distribution. Where clinically appropriate, we assess this alongside metabolic markers.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is required. If we need additional information from your GP or specialist, we'll guide you.
How is ongoing care reviewed?
Your clinical team reviews relevant health information and pathology and discusses follow-up according to your individual needs.
Is this medical weight loss?
No. Metabolic health is a Clinical Nutritionist-led assessment with three tiers and medical collaboration where appropriate. Medical weight management is a separate doctor-led pathway with initial pathology, a Chief Medical Officer consultation, an ODX Health Report and a Clinical Nutritionist Success Session.
Is this suitable for both men and women?
Yes. Our metabolic health programme is designed for both men and women experiencing symptoms related to energy, weight, hormones, or general wellbeing.
