Good blood health is essential for transporting oxygen to your muscles and to the organs around your body. To assess your blood health, we look at the proteins responsible for oxygen transport, and at your red and white blood cells.
Bone and muscle
Your Subtitle Goes Here
There are many factors determining your bone and muscle health, from your age to what you eat and how frequently you move. For this assessment, we look at key measures of fitness such as your grip strength, as well as biomarkers in your blood and your activity habits.
Heart
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Your heart will beat about 3 billion times throughout your life, pumping blood full of nutrients and oxygen to your organs, and to your lungs to be oxygenized. To assess your heart health, we review over 10 blood biomarkers, as well as physical measurements, information from your genes and a validated risk-calculator.
Kidneys

Nutrition
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Food is not just ‘energy’ or ‘fuel’ – food is nutrition for your health. And when consumed in the right quantities, it can have multiple benefits. To be able to effectively pinpoint which foods you eat too much of, too little of, or just right – we measure a range of vitamins and minerals in your blood. We also assess your health, and use the answers you provided in your Health and Lifestyle Questionnaire.
Activity
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Regular physical activity is of utmost importance. In combination with healthful nutrition, it lowers your risk for a vast number of health conditions, boosts your mood, and contributes to leading a fulfilling life. At Ancora, we advocate three pillars of physical activity: being active (avoiding a sedentary lifestyle), aerobic activity (activities that raise your heart rate and breathing rate), and bone and muscle-strengthening activities.
Health behaviors
Your Subtitle Goes Here
In addition to stress, nutrition and activity, we have refined the Health Promotion Model (originally published by Pender in 1987) to provide you insight into your health behaviors, including responsibility, spiritual growth and interpersonal relations.
Performance
Your Subtitle Goes Here
As a Health and Performance member you also receive detailed insights into your cardiopulmonary fitness (i.e. how well your lungs are exchanging gas, how well your heart is pumping blood, and how well your muscles can use oxygen), inflammation and recovery (using a number of extra blood biomarkers).
