A good place to begin
Perhaps you're feeling well and want a clearer starting point. Or you've noticed your energy, sleep or recovery changing, and you'd like to understand more.
You might be training for something, thinking about the years ahead, or simply ready to give your health more attention. Performance Health gives you a way to explore your bloodwork with someone who understands your goals.
The connection is Lou
Lou has spent more than 20 years working with people who want to stay active and keep doing the things they enjoy.
Alongside her work in physiotherapy, she developed her expertise in functional health and bloodwork analysis. Performance Health brings that work together, looking at blood results in the context of someone's symptoms, habits and goals.
Lou developed Synergy Patterns®, the method used to explore relationships between bloodwork markers. Her analysis is now being used by clinics across the UK.
For Cornwall Physio clients, it's a direct connection to the person behind the approach.
The interpretation makes the difference
The value is in understanding the results. Lou reviews over 80 markers together, alongside your symptoms and goals, and explains what to focus on first.
Low energy isn't always an energy problem. Gut symptoms aren't always a food problem. Lou's Synergy Patterns® analysis reads the ratios and relationships between markers, so she can see how your body systems are actually functioning, not just whether each marker is technically normal.
Your report shows the laboratory reference range and the functional range used in Performance Health's analysis side by side. Lou explains the findings in the context of your Blueprint, with clear priorities and starting steps.
Your Performance Health Blueprint brings in your symptoms, lifestyle, sleep, stress, food and goals. The bloods are read against what life is asking of your body, so the plan becomes specific to you.
The analysis behind your report is a method Lou has built over 21 years in practice, and she checks and signs off every report herself.

Something you can come back to

Use your Benchmark as a starting point, or follow your personalised plan with ongoing support through the Flagship.
The Benchmark combines over 80 bloodwork markers with your Performance Health Blueprint. Lou reviews the markers together, shows laboratory and functional ranges side by side, and explains your findings and priorities in a personally reviewed report and results call.
The difference is the interpretation and the support included around the test. It complements care from your GP.
Both were founded by Lou Nicholettos. Performance Health is her functional health service, with its own bloodwork analysis, programmes and booking process. This page introduces it to our Cornwall Physio community.
The Benchmark includes your blood draw, analysis, Blueprint, a personally reviewed report and a 15-minute results call. It's £599.
The Flagship adds an advanced test and four months of personalised nutrition, lifestyle and supplement support, with fortnightly calls and WhatsApp support. The strategy call is the place to discuss whether it's right for you and what the investment involves.
Your draw is arranged through Performance Health's clinic network. You'll receive the location, booking information and preparation instructions as part of the process. If you want to check the options near you before starting, ask on your strategy call.
No. You might want to understand your bloodwork while you're feeling well, establish a reference point or explore questions about your energy and recovery. The service is for adults aged 18 and over.
One advanced test is chosen with you during your initial consultation, based on your symptoms and goals. The options are genetics and epigenetics, the DUTCH hormone test or a GI Map stool test. This is separate from the blood panel.
Performance Health works alongside your usual medical care. If anything in your results needs medical attention, your report explains this and points you to your GP. If you're worried about new or ongoing symptoms, contact your GP rather than waiting for a Benchmark.
Yes. You can discuss additional support on your results call. If you move into the Flagship, your Benchmark payment is credited against the programme investment. If you already know you'd like a personalised plan and ongoing guidance, book a strategy call first.

Inside the Benchmark
Section 1
Your benchmark is a fixed, dated reference point. Every marker is measured against functional optimal ranges, and everything you do next is measured against this.
Fictional example from an earlier panel. It illustrates the report format; current marker totals differ.
