What is it?

MAP Health is a cutting-edge health optimisation programme that combines DNA testing, blood biomarkers, and lifestyle analysis to deliver truly personalised, science-backed recommendations. Designed to help you achieve your  wellness goals, MAP Health provides deep, actionable insights based on your unique biology.

What sets us apart? You’ll be guided throughout your journey by Dr Raquel —ensuring expert, compassionate care every step of the way.

Who Can Benefit from MAP Health?

MAP Health is ideal for anyone ready to take control of their skin and overall well-being through a science-backed, holistic approach. This programme is especially beneficial for:

High-performers looking to optimise diet, energy, and lifestyle for better personal and professional results
Health-conscious individuals seeking deeper insights into their body through genetic and biomarker analysis
Those with persistent skin concerns such as dryness, pigmentation, inflammation, or signs of premature ageing
Anyone tired of one-size-fits-all solutions and ready for a long-term, personalised strategy that evolves with their needs

Whether you’re looking to improve how you feel, how you function, or how you look—MAP Health gives you the data-driven tools to get there.

What’s Included in the MAP Health Programme?

MAP Health is a comprehensive, science-driven approach to personalised wellness. It begins with a detailed functional medicine questionnaire to define your unique skin and health goals. From there, we combine:

  • DNA testing to uncover your genetic blueprint- with 10 different reports
  • Blood testing for key health markers
  • Continuous glucose monitoring to understand your metabolism in real time

Each test comes with an easy-to-understand report, but what truly sets MAP Health apart is what we do with your data. We don’t just hand you results—we translate them into a fully personalised, holistic lifestyle plan tailored specifically to you.

Your bespoke programme includes:

  • What to eat—and when
  • Which supplements will benefit you most
  • Movement and exercise routines that suit your biology
  • Sleep optimisation strategies
  • A daily skincare regimen aligned with your skin’s needs

Everything is designed around you, because no two bodies—or skin journeys—are the same.

The value? To purchase those individual tests alone would cost well above £800.—without the expert guidance or interpretation we provide.

What Do We Test For?

Our wellness protocol offers an in-depth analysis tailored entirely to you. We assess:

  • 113 genetic traits, cardiovascular health, diet and nutrition, fitness, immunity and inflammation, skin, sleep, stress, insulin resistance and more
  • 20 key blood biomarkers, such as cholesterol, vitamin B12, testosterone, inflammation markers, and nutrient levels
  • 8 metabolic insights from your continuous glucose monitor, including time in range, glucose variability, and average blood glucose
  • 25 lifestyle and environmental factors drawn from a detailed functional medicine questionnaire, covering diet, stress, sleep, and habits

By integrating all of this data, we create a comprehensive, personalised plan that reflects your unique biology and real-world lifestyle—ensuring the most targeted and effective recommendations for your skin and overall health.

Will It Hurt?

Not at all. The entire process is designed to be simple, comfortable, and minimally invasive:

DNA Sample: Just a quick and easy saliva swab test—no needles involved.

Blood Test: A small blood sample is taken using the latest Tasso device—a modern, painless method that’s quick and stress-free.

Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): This small, discreet device is applied to your upper arm and tracks your glucose levels in real time over 14 days. It’s painless to apply and comfortable to wear.

Every step is thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind—no unnecessary discomfort, just smart, personalised health insights.

What Do I Have to Do?

Your part is easy—we handle the rest.

You’ll visit Dr. Raquel’s clinic for a 30-minute appointment where we’ll take care of everything:

Collect your DNA sample via a simple saliva test (just be sure not to eat or drink for at least 30 minutes beforehand)

Take a quick, painless blood sample using the state-of-the-art Tasso device

Apply your Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to your arm—comfortable, discreet, and easy to wear

During or shortly after your visit, you’ll complete a detailed lifestyle and goals questionnaire. Then, over the next 14 days, you’ll follow simple instructions through our software while the CGM gathers real-time metabolic data.

Once all your data is collected and analysed, we’ll create your fully personalised health and skincare programme. This process can take up to six weeks—but the results are worth the wait. All that’s left is to follow your bespoke recommendations and begin your journey toward healthier skin and optimal well-being.

What happens to My Data?

Your data is treated with the utmost care, security, and confidentiality. All personal information—including your DNA, blood, and glucose data—is encrypted and securely stored in compliance with GDPR and the highest standards in medical data protection.

We work only with trusted, accredited laboratories and platforms that meet rigorous security protocols. Your data is used exclusively for the purpose of generating your personalised health and skincare programme. It will never be sold, shared, or used for marketing purposes.

You remain in full control of your information, and can request access or deletion of your data at any time. Your trust is essential to us—and safeguarding your privacy is our responsibility.

How Long Does the Testing Take?

The entire testing process—including the DNA swab, blood sample collection, and CGM application—takes less than 20 minutes. It’s quick, efficient, and pain-free, designed to fit seamlessly into your day with minimal disruption

I Have a Medical Condition. Is MAP Health Suitable for Me?

MAP Health is not intended to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Instead, it’s designed to complement your existing care by providing personalised, science-based recommendations that support your overall well-being and help you achieve your goals.

If you have a medical condition, we recommend discussing the programme with your healthcare provider to ensure it aligns with your individual needs.

How Often Do I Need to Visit the Clinic?

In most cases, you’ll only need to visit us once for the initial testing appointment. After that, all follow-up support and guidance can be provided remotely or in person. If any additional testing or in-person assessments are recommended in the future, we’ll let you know well in advance.

What If I’m Not Happy With My Recommendations?

Due to the highly personalised nature of the MAP Health programme and the laboratory testing involved, we’re unable to offer refunds. However, your satisfaction is incredibly important to us. If you have any concerns about your results or recommendations, our team will work closely with you to review, refine, and adjust your plan—ensuring it aligns with your goals and feels realistic and supportive for your lifestyle.

Can I Use a DNA Test I’ve Already Done?

While you may have completed DNA testing elsewhere, MAP Health focuses on analysing specific genes related to our program.  To ensure accuracy and consistency in your personalised programme, we require our own targeted DNA test as part of the process.
