Blood Screening

At SheMed we screen before we prescribe

At SheMed your safety is our priority which is why we require an initial blood test before prescribing.

Understanding your biological health is important. 94% of our patients discovered at least one out-of-range result-uncover what your blood could reveal today.

Understand your health inside and out

Through our innovative Tasso blood collection technology, you'll gain valuable insights into your unique health profile. These insights not only reveal how GLP-1s impact your body beyond shedding pounds but also allow us to personalise your weight loss journey based on your individual needs.

Your health and safety are our top priorities.  Therefore, a blood test is mandatory at SheMed.  This will allow us to establish a baseline understanding of your health, track your progress, and tailor a plan to optimise your results with GLP-1s.  Monitoring key biomarkers will provide the necessary information for you to make informed decisions about your health and maximise the transformative potential of this treatment.

We measure

Liver health

You have a greater risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease if you are over weight, have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

Thyroid health

60% of women diagnosed with hypothyroidism report significant weight gain.

A new approach to understanding
your health

The Tasso blood collection device works by sticking the Tasso Button to the skin with a light adhesive. When the button is pressed, a vacuum forms and a small lancet pricks the surface of the skin. The vacuum draws blood out into the collection tube attached to the bottom of the Tasso Button. Collecting less than one teaspoon of blood (about 6mL).

The whole process was easy from the start.
I did loads of research beforehand, read all the FAQ’s etc. I was comfortable in my choice to choose SheMed. My blood test was really easy, I’m going to have private blood tests if needed in future just so I can use this device! My first box came with the additional extras which was a nice touch. My check ins have been easy and without issue. No complaints.

I am very excited
I was so concerned on how the blood collection was going to be, because in the past I have tried the blood collection from fingers and that has been a disaster. Turns out that with SheMed the blood collection is through another device in your arm. That works amazingly, at the beginning I thought it wasn't working because I couldn't feel a thing and while I was re reading instructions, which said give it a minute 🙈, I took a look at my arm and there it was the tube already filled. That device is genius!!

Amazing...
The blood test was so easy to use, I didn't feel a thing, wasn't even sure it had worked initially as I felt nothing!...

SheMed has been great
SheMed has been great. The blood test was surprisingly pain free (I was so scared to press the red button, but really didn't need to be). The results came through quickly and it didn't take long to get my prescription. Again, I was scared to self-administer the injection, but it was nothing to worry about. 1 week in, no side effects & I've lost 4 pounds.

SheMed...all good so far!!...
I signed up for SheMed mid January and the process was very clear and easy. My blood test arrived, simple to use and got results quickly. Medication was approved and dispatched within a couple of days. So far, I have been quite impressed with the SheMed set up, and I am looking forward to following the weight management programme.

Excellent start.
Easy set up, blood test quiet easy to do, results issued in a timely fashion, kit arrived within days of acceptance. The kit contained everything I needed, with the added bonus of some OTC meds to cover the most of the top common side effects users experience. This was a great touch, first check ins have all gone well thus far.
