“Wanted an in depth health check--Ahead delivered with a smooth MRI+blood check and very detailled and action packed report. Highly recommended!”

“Great experience, MRI + blood test, comprehensive reporting and tracking over time, and direct contact with real medical doctors to address any questions you might have.”

“Fles to Zürich to get Ahead's MRI + blood test.”

Both Ahead's team and the partner's were super professional, and guided me step-by-step through the experience. The scan was short, blood draw uneventful, and I was in time to make my plane back. I really liked the report itself: simple to understand, with enough actual clinical depth.

“Thank you, Ahead Health, I highly recommend your services and we surely stay in touch (hopefully only for preventative reasons!)”

As an enthusiastic athlete and simply a woman in her early 30s, I've finally come to realization that our bodies and health definitely need our support along the life journey we embark on as one. Just before turning 33 and running my 7th marathon, I couldn't help but checking my blood as I've been feeling rather fatigued and also mindful of yet again another birthday and a race. It was so simple! Ahead Health website is clear, user friendly and what I especially appreciate, not overpowering with things one doesn't need (aka a million of extra products where you feel like at a sales market). From the main page to choosing what one is looking for and booking an appointment - easy and with a very little time spent. Simple instructions on what not to do and what to do. Thank you, Ahead Health, I highly recommend your services and we surely stay in touch (hopefully only for preventative reasons!) Tatiana

“Amazing experience”

“Amazing service”

I visited AHEAD HEALTH on Wednesday for an advanced blood test, the entire process was quick, seamless, and far more convenient than going through a doctor's office. The results were delivered within 48 hours, along with …

“Super easy and a very detailed and well explained report.”

I'll come back to see the improvements. 100% recommended.

“I can honestly say it was one of the most impressive and reassuring medical experiences I've had.”

My name is Anastasia, and I recently visited Ahead Clinic in Geneva for a full health check-up, including blood tests and a full-body MRI. I can honestly say it was one of the most impressive and reassuring medical experiences I've had. …

Questions we could help with

Why can't I concentrate lately?

Low B12 or folate can affect focus. Testing checks your levels; other causes remain possible.

Could mood swings be linked to my nutrition?

B12 and folate support nerves. Testing detects low levels, but cannot explain mood changes alone.

My B12 came back borderline. Is that enough?

B vitamins support cell renewal. Testing checks for deficiency; skin changes may have other causes.

Why am I always tired?

Low B12 or folate can cause tiredness. Testing gives your doctor a clearer starting point.

Frequently asked questions

No, please keep taking your prescribed medications as usual – with a few exceptions on the morning of your blood draw. This allows us to assess your health in the context of your real-life routine.

Please include what you take and the dosage in your questionnaire so our medical team can interpret your results accurately.

On the morning of your test, please pause:

Iron supplements: stop 24–48 hours before your draw – iron supplements temporarily raise circulating serum iron and can skew your results. Resume your usual dose right after the blood draw. (Fasting also matters for this – see our iron biomarker page for details.)
Biotin (vitamin B7 – e.g. in hair, skin and nail supplements): at a standard dose (up to 5 mg/day), stop 48–72 hours before your test. It can interfere with several hormone measurements, including thyroid tests, causing falsely low TSH and falsely high free T4/T3. If you take high-dose biotin (over 5 mg/day – e.g. prescribed for hair/nail growth or another prescribed use), we generally recommend extending this to 3–7 days beforehand. Please don't do this without speaking to the doctor who prescribed it, and let us know in the medical questionnaire before your check-up. A standard multivitamin is fine to continue.
Thyroid medication (e.g. levothyroxine): take it after your blood draw, not before – taking it beforehand causes a temporary spike in free T4 that affects your baseline result.

Also worth mentioning in your questionnaire:

Creatine: may influence markers related to kidney function.
Finasteride or dutasteride (e.g. for hair loss or an enlarged prostate): these lower PSA by about half, so if your check-up includes PSA (in the Pro package or as an add-on), flag this in your questionnaire so your result is interpreted correctly.
