Detect, Identify & treat INFLAMMATION early
Inflammation is your body's alarm system. When you cut your finger, it turns red, This is acute inflammation.
However, 3 out of 5 diseases including;
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
High blood pressure
-
Gut problems such as IBD
-
Dementia
-
Cancer
-
Age related diseases (termed "Inflammageing") such as sarcopenia (muscle loss) and osteoporosis
are now being linked to chronic, low grade inflammation, never switching off and quietly damaging all our organ systems in the body. At the Cardiff Wellness Centre we can measure inflammation early and try to change the trajectory of your health. This is the essence of preventative AND curative medicine.
Your symptoms maybe just tiredness but what we now know is that many of these diseases start in us decades before symptoms occur. Remember diseases are the names of symptoms but that is not necessarily the root cause of the problem.
Our GP, LIFESTYLE ACCREDITED, DOCTOR LED service aims to provide you with comprehensive, personalised (you are a n=1) and evidence-based knowledge that centres around your personal health and your goals. This will be achieved by closely working with you to try and find the root causes of problems, with a focus on the 6 pillars of health:
-
Nutrition
-
Movement
-
Sleep
-
Wellbeing
-
Substances (Alcohol/Caffeine/Sugar)
-
Social Connectivity
You don't have to wait for disease. You don't have to wait for surgery. You don't have to accept decline as inevitable.
You can test You can measure. You can intervene early. Improve your health span as well as your life span. We give you the tools to be the CEO of your own health.
INVESTIGATIONS include;
-Specialist blood tests
-DEXA scanning to measure Body composition (visceral fat which is highly inflammatory) and Bone mineral density
-Omega 3 quant red blood cell test
-Mineral levels such as Magnesium, Selenium, Zinc, Copper and Iodine.
-Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM's)
Patients on GLP-1 agonists such as Mounjaro should be having regular body composition scans to track potential muscle mass loss and visceral fat, we can help.
Modern pharmaceuticals have much to offer. The clinic understands that a combination of lifestyle change and medication is necessary for many and that is the way forward, a hybrid approach, however I do not prescribe weight loss drugs.
Blood tests can not only help with diagnoses, they can be useful to track changes made and give goals
to treatment options.
This is an exciting new field and we are currently scoping this to offer this to you all soon.
A good life isn't necessarily measured by how many years you live (lifespan), but how healthy those years will be (healthspan). Let CWC guide you to be your best in your later years by improving your health and lifespans.
We will help you understand why exercise is important and how to maximise it in the
limited time we all have. This does not necessarily mean hitting the weights or the treadmill.
CWC will go through your
sleep in detail and optimise accordingly so that you awake more refreshed the next day.
It is said we are now living in the middle of a stress epidemic. Up to 80% of what a doctor sees in
general practice can be traced back to the origins of chronic stress.
It's not what your weight is, it's what your weight is made of.
OUR SERVICES
The Problem?
Metabolic syndrome is a group of health issues—including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and abdominal obesity—that significantly increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the Western world.
In the UK, around 1 in 4 adults are affected, but the condition isn’t inevitable. With the right approach, its progression can be slowed or even reversed without medication.
At CWC, we go beyond the outdated “eat less, exercise more” mantra. Our personalised strategies empower you to achieve your health goals—improving energy, reducing fatigue, and supporting long-term wellbeing.
Our Solution
Our approach goes beyond treating symptoms—
we focus on prevention, reversal, and optimising overall wellbeing.
Together, we’ll work to:
-
Reduce inflammation in your body.
-
Improve mitochondrial function.
-
Enhance your gut microbiome.
At The Cardiff Wellness Centre, we use cutting-edge tools
to personalise your care, including:
-
Metabolic blood tests to uncover underlying issues.
-
Microbiome testing to improve gut health.
-
An in-house DEXA scanner to measure and monitor visceral fat levels
