The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

This week’s episode of the MidPoint is a little different. It’s brought to us in collaboration with our friends at One Day Tests.I was drawn to working with One Day Tests as a lot of the information I have around my health is based on instinct or long-term changes, but I wanted to see if the nuances of what my blood could tell me would make a difference to my habits.We are fed a lot of information about how we are living longer and what is good for us, and then a lot of information about opposite - our health challenges and lifestyle problems.I sat down with Medical Director Dr Adam Staten and Kate Davies, Clinical lead for Women's Services at One Day Tests to chat about what a lot of this really means and how understanding out biomarkers can give us a confidence to making positive changes. Let us know on Instagram what minor changes you’ve made that have had a proper impact.For more information visit www.onedaytests.com and for £10 off use code GABBY10.
