Advanced Health Intelligence
Stop Guessing.
Start Knowing.

The Problem
Are you tired of doing all the right things and still not feeling right?
You have changed your diet. You have tried the supplements. You have adjusted your sleep routine. And yet something still does not feel quite right — your energy is inconsistent, your skin is not where you want it, and you have a nagging sense that your body is ageing faster than it should.
This is not a willpower problem. It is an information problem. Without understanding what is actually driving the issue at a biological level, every intervention is essentially a guess. And guessing is exhausting.
After two decades in medicine — as a GP, an addiction specialist, and now as an aesthetic and longevity doctor — I kept seeing the same pattern. Patients doing everything they were told, yet still frustrated. The missing piece was almost always the same: they did not have a clear picture of their own biology. That is what this programme changes.
— Dr Vix Manning, Author of Busting the Code to Ageing
"Inflammaging — the chronic, low-grade inflammation that quietly accelerates ageing — is not inevitable. It is measurable. And what is measurable is manageable."

The Platform
Introducing the Map Health Protocol
Map Health is a medical wellness platform that brings together multiple layers of biological data — blood markers, DNA, real-time metabolic response, and lifestyle context — to create a personalised, clinician-reviewed action plan. It is the diagnostic foundation of this programme.
What makes this approach different is not the technology. It is the interpretation. Data without clinical context is just numbers. Dr Vix reviews every result in the context of your full health picture, connecting the dots between your biology and your life.

The Five Pillars
Your Body's Data, Decoded
Five interconnected areas of biology that together reveal the full picture of how you are ageing — and what to do about it.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Metabolic Health
Your glucose response to food is one of the most powerful windows into your metabolic health. A CGM worn for two to four weeks reveals patterns that a single fasting blood test simply cannot — glucose spikes, post-meal crashes, and the foods that quietly drive chronic inflammation. This data forms the foundation of your personalised nutrition plan.
Epigenetic & DNA Testing
Genetic Health Profile
Epigenetic testing analyses over 221 genes across six critical areas: cardiovascular health, diet and nutrition, sleep, mood, stress, and physical performance. This is not a biological age test — it is a precise map of your genetic predispositions, revealing where your biology is most vulnerable and where targeted intervention will have the greatest impact.
Advanced Blood Markers
Inflammatory Load
Inflammaging — the chronic, low-grade inflammation that drives accelerated ageing — is measurable. A comprehensive blood panel covers your inflammatory markers (hsCRP), lipid and heart health (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), hormones (oestradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG), thyroid function (TSH, Free T4), iron and ferritin, liver function, and key vitamins (B12, Vitamin D, folate). This is not a standard NHS blood test — it is a deep dive into the biology of how you are ageing.
Optional Add-On · Fatty Acid Index Testing
Omega-3 Balance
The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in your cell membranes is a direct measure of your body's inflammatory potential. Most people in the UK are significantly deficient in omega-3, yet this is one of the most modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and skin ageing. This test can be integrated into your protocol as an optional add-on — we test, supplement, and retest at 120 days to prove the change.
Optional Add-On · Microbiome Analysis
Gut Health
Your gut microbiome is your body's second brain, and its composition directly influences your inflammatory status, your skin, your mood, and your metabolic health. A comprehensive gut health test identifies dysbiosis, bacterial imbalances, and the specific interventions — dietary and supplemental — most likely to restore a healthy, anti-inflammatory microbiome. This can be integrated into your protocol as an optional add-on.
Why This Matters
Numbers without context do not create understanding.
True insight comes from interpretation — from someone who can explain patterns, connect systems, and guide decisions safely. This is where clinical expertise is non-negotiable.
Dr Vix does not just hand you a report. She translates your data into a conversation that makes sense of your symptoms, your history, and your goals. The shift is from "try this" to "this makes sense for your body." That distinction changes everything.
With over 22 years in medicine, a published book on inflammaging, and a personal health transformation that informs her clinical approach, Dr Vix brings both the science and the lived experience to every consultation.
Your Journey
How It Works
Initial Consultation
A thorough review of your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Dr Vix will identify which elements of the protocol are most relevant to you and coordinate your testing journey.
Advanced Testing
Your at-home and in-clinic tests are coordinated: the Map Health kit (blood, DNA, and CGM). Optional add-ons — Omega-3 index testing and gut microbiome analysis — can be integrated at this stage. Most tests can be completed at home, at a time that suits you.
Clinician-Led Report
Dr Vix reviews every result in the context of your full health picture. You receive a personalised action plan covering nutrition, lifestyle, targeted supplementation, and — where appropriate — aesthetic treatments that address the skin manifestations of inflammaging.
Ongoing Partnership
Health intelligence is not a one-off event. Regular follow-up consultations track your progress, refine your protocol, and retest key markers to demonstrate measurable change. This is the long game — and it works.
Dr Vix Takeaways
Five things I want you to know about inflammaging.
Chronic inflammation is not a symptom of ageing — it is one of its primary drivers. Addressing it proactively changes the trajectory.
A single blood test cannot tell you how you are ageing. You need multiple data points, interpreted in context, to get the full picture.
Your glucose response to food is one of the most powerful and modifiable risk factors for inflammaging — and most people have no idea what theirs looks like.
The gut-skin-brain axis is real. What is happening in your microbiome is directly reflected in your skin, your mood, and your inflammatory markers.
This is not about perfection. It is about understanding your body well enough to make decisions that are right for you — not for the average person.
Is This Right for You?
This programme is for people who are done guessing.
Whether you are in your late thirties and want to get ahead of the ageing process, in your forties or fifties and noticing changes you cannot explain, or simply someone who values evidence over anecdote — this programme is built for you.
It is particularly well suited to those dealing with persistent fatigue, skin concerns linked to inflammation (acne, rosacea, eczema, accelerated skin ageing), weight changes around the menopause, or anyone who has tried the standard approaches and found them wanting. No hype. No guessing. Just your data, interpreted by a doctor who has been doing this for over two decades.
