HeMed starts with an at-home, needle-free blood test. A clinician reviews ten markers across your heart, liver, blood sugar and thyroid before any decision, and you retest every 6 months.
Getting started
01 · Check
Fill in a short set of online questions so a clinician can check whether treatment may be suitable for you.
02 · Test
Complete your included needle-free blood test to understand your current health.
03 · Treat
A clinician reviews your blood test first. If they approve treatment, we deliver it the next working day, discreetly packaged, with delivery included in your plan.
Weight is where it starts, not where it ends: excess weight is linked to the conditions that shorten men’s lives.5 HeMed exists to make premium long-term care accessible before the crisis, not after it.
Why is this important?

Track your progress in the app. Registered clinicians stay involved. They review your care, not just your first form.
A retest every 6 months shows what’s actually changing. Your plan adjusts to your body, not your subscription date. Regular review during treatment is what NICE recommends.6

Cardiovascular risk
The overall amount of cholesterol in your blood: the headline number for heart health.
The carrier cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. Lower is generally better.
The clean-up cholesterol that helps move excess cholesterol away. Higher is generally better.
The fats your body stores and burns for energy. High levels are linked to a higher risk of heart and circulatory disease.
Your total cholesterol divided by your HDL cholesterol: a single number used in UK heart-risk calculators.
Liver function
An enzyme that leaks into the blood when liver cells are under strain.
A second liver enzyme, read alongside ALT for a fuller picture.
An enzyme that rises with liver stress, including from alcohol.
Diabetes risk
Your average blood sugar over roughly the past three months.
Thyroid function

HeMed is a clinician-led weight loss and metabolic health service for men in the UK, built around an at-home blood test. You start with a needle-free test of 10 markers across your heart, liver, blood sugar and thyroid. A clinician reviews your results before any decision about your plan, and you retest every 6 months to see what has changed.
Plans are one monthly price with testing, clinical support and delivery included. Whether HeMed is right for you is a clinical decision, made after your blood test and health review, not a purchase.
Short answers to the common questions. For anything else, our support team can help.
Choose from a flexible rolling monthly plan or a 3, 6 or 12-month plan with lower monthly prices. From £59 for your first month on a 12-month plan (new customers), then from £114 a month. Plans are billed every 28 or 30 days depending on your treatment; your exact cycle is shown before you confirm.
Our 3, 6 or 12-month plans have lower monthly prices and include the same care. If you’d rather keep things flexible while you get started, our rolling monthly plan has no long-term commitment. No two people are the same, so we’ve built plans with that in mind.
If your blood test shows the plan isn’t suitable for you, we explain why and refund your first payment in full. The terms set out when a refund applies.
Always a clinical decision, made after your blood test and health review. Adults with a BMI of 30 or over, or 27 or over alongside a weight-related health condition, may be considered. Treatment is not suitable in pregnancy or when trying to conceive, under 18, or with certain medical histories.
The clinician screens for these. The patient information leaflet carries the full list. If your blood test shows the plan isn’t suitable for you, we explain why and refund your first payment in full.
Switching from another UK provider and on treatment within the last 2 months? The baseline blood test is your choice, and you may continue treatment from a BMI of 23, subject to proof of prescription, medical history and clinical review.
If you’re on our rolling monthly plan, you can cancel with at least 5 days’ notice before your next payment date. On a 3, 6 or 12-month plan, cancelling early carries a termination fee unless your clinician advises stopping; the exact fee is shown before you confirm.
The fee is the plan discount you have received so far, plus a £25 administration fee. That is the difference between the rolling monthly price and the plan price for the payments you have made. You request cancellation in the app (Profile, then Programme details) and keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
Full details are on our terms and conditions.
Everything you need is in one place. That includes a needle-free blood test every 6 months to track your metabolic markers, starting from day one.
It includes clinical support for side effects and questions, in-app progress tracking, nutrition guidance, and diet and exercise advice. You also get help from clinicians as your body changes throughout your plan.
Your at-home blood test shows your clinician the markers that matter for your plan. Your clinician bases decisions on your results. The test lets you track changes over time, from cardiovascular to liver markers.
NICE recommends identifying the health conditions linked to weight at the start and reviewing regularly during treatment; that is what the baseline test and the retest every 6 months are for.6
No needles, no finger pricks and no clinic visit. We use a needle-free blood collection method you can complete at home in minutes.
Your kit is included in your plan, along with everything you need. Our team gives step-by-step support if you have any questions.
Your test covers key health markers including blood sugar (HbA1c), cardiovascular health, liver function and thyroid function. It’s a focused metabolic health check built into your plan.
Keep taking your current treatment as prescribed. A clinician reviews your health information and your current treatment first. They confirm your HeMed plan before anything changes.
No, not for the sake of it. Your clinician reviews where you are, including your current treatment and dose, and continues it where that is right for you. What suits you is a clinical decision.
The same plan every member gets: your blood tests, clinical support for side effects and questions, in-app progress tracking, nutrition guidance and delivery, in one monthly price.
Switching from another UK provider and on treatment within the last 2 months? The baseline blood test is your choice, and you may continue treatment from a BMI of 23, subject to proof of prescription, medical history and clinical review. Treatment is prescribed only where clinically appropriate.
