How is Shimalia different from traditional healthcare?

Health is complex and influenced by many interacting factors. Traditional healthcare often focuses on diagnosing and managing disease. Shimalia’s long-term oversight model allows us to investigate the biological drivers influencing health, identify patterns over time and continually refine strategy as your health responds to personalised nutrition, targeted supplementation, lifestyle and evidence-informed interventions.

​

What is Shimalia Intelligence?

Shimalia Intelligence is our proprietary health intelligence system, developed from the research and thinking of leading scientists, clinicians and pioneers across health, ageing and human performance. It brings together health history, symptoms, biomarkers, lifestyle, environment and evolving data to identify patterns, inform strategy and continually refine oversight as health changes.

 

Who is Shimalia designed for?

Shimalia is designed for individuals and families seeking a more proactive, personalised and strategic approach to health. Some people come to us with complex or persistent health concerns. Others simply want to better understand their health, preserve long-term function and make informed decisions before problems develop.

 

Do I need to have existing health concerns to work with Shimalia?

No. Many people work with Shimalia before significant health concerns arise. Understanding health early often provides greater opportunity to preserve function, reduce future risk and make informed decisions over time.

​

Can Shimalia work alongside my doctor or existing healthcare team?

Yes. Shimalia is designed to complement your existing healthcare. Where appropriate, we encourage individuals to continue working with their GP, consultants and other healthcare professionals.

 

Can I work with Shimalia if I live outside the UK?

Yes. Shimalia works with individuals and families internationally through secure video consultations, home-based testing and ongoing digital communication.

Location is rarely a barrier.

 

How do consultations take place?

Most consultations take place remotely via secure video consultation.

This allows us to work with individuals internationally while maintaining regular communication and long-term health oversight.

 

Can you arrange biomarker testing in my country?

Where appropriate, we identify reputable local providers and recommend the investigations most relevant to your health, symptoms and objectives.

As every country is different, recommendations are tailored according to local availability.

 

What if my test results require medical attention?

If biomarker testing identifies findings requiring medical assessment or treatment, we will recommend that you discuss these promptly with your GP or relevant healthcare professional.

 

What is the difference between a Signature Programme and Private Health Oversight?

Signature Programmes are focused advisory engagements built around a specific health objective or stage of life. Private Health Oversight provides a broader, long-term advisory relationship, bringing together strategic planning and ongoing oversight across all aspects of health.

Many individuals choose to continue into Private Health Oversight after completing a Signature Programme.

​

How is pricing structured?

Pricing for each Signature Programme is shown on the relevant programme page.

Private Health Oversight is tailored to the individual and discussed following an initial conversation, as the level of oversight varies according to health, objectives and circumstances.
