Forth The mission at Forth is to help people feel at their best throughout life by understanding what is going on inside their body and the steps they can take to improve their health. They do this through the provision of blood tests that can be done at home and sent to a lab for analysis. Results are displayed through an easy-to-understand dashboard and the team of doctors give helpful tips on how clients can improve their body’s biochemistry to feel better and hopefully live longer. It recently launched a ground-breaking Female Hormone Mapping Product. Female Hormone Mapping is useful for all women who have naturally occurring cycles. For far too long female hormones have been talked about solely in the context of fertility, and whilst that is important, hormones also have a far-reaching impact on a woman’s health beyond reproduction. The four key hormones (FSH, LH, Oestrogen and Progesterone) also impact the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, the digestive system, the cardiovascular system, the immune system and metabolism. In short, female hormones are integral to a woman’s health, so checking your hormones are fluctuating throughout your cycle in the expected pattern is important. The team at Forth is made up of medical experts and the services are delivered in top industry standard labs. The team is led by CEO Sarah Bolt, creator of Forth in 2017. The team includes Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Nicky Keay, a field-leading endocrinologist with a focus on sports medicine; Renee McGregor, nutrition expert with experience working with Olympic and National athletes; and Scientific Officer Michael Cornes, a clinical scientist who has published numerous research papers on the subject of test accuracy and biomarker personalisation.
