High blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and dyslipidaemia are widely recognised contributors to cardiovascular disease. The Good Fight helps you understand your risk, where you currently stand, and what you can change, before diagnosis becomes disease.
Free and takes only 10 minutes. This is not a diagnostic tool. Results are indicative and should be discussed with a qualified practitioner.
Does this
sound familiar?
The Good Fight is for you if…
- You have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, or dyslipidaemia.
- Someone in your family has one of the above, even if you don’t (yet).
- You have a family history of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, or stroke.
- You want to understand what you’ve inherited before symptoms force the conversation.
- You’re open to what the data reveals, even if it challenges what you think you know.
- You want to know what to actually do about it, not just monitor and wait.
The Good Fight is not for you if…
- You’re looking for a quick fix or a single supplement.
- You’re looking for medication management alone, without a wider read on what’s driving your numbers.
- You’re not able to consider lifestyle change right now.
- You’re looking for a diagnosis. The Good Fight doesn’t diagnose; we interpret and refer.
- You’ve recently had a major cardiac event and are in active medical treatment.
Metabolic syndrome, explained
It’s well-known that high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, and dyslipidaemia cluster together, a condition known as metabolic syndrome. What’s less well known is that they’re also highly heritable. Family history is not a footnote. It is the strongest early signal you have.
The three conditions reinforce each other.
Research increasingly links chronic stress and elevated cortisol to rising blood glucose levels. When the body is under sustained stress, it converts more of what you eat, including protein, into sugar, driving readings up regardless of diet. Addressing stress load is a central part of the approach here, not an afterthought.
Cardiovascular disease is the downstream outcome.
Individually, these conditions are manageable. Together, they significantly increase the risk of a cardiac event. Research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that metabolic syndrome is associated with a 2-fold increase in cardiovascular outcomes and a 1.5-fold increase in all-cause mortality.
Predisposition is not a diagnosis, but it is a signal.
Carrying inherited risk does not mean you will develop the condition. It means the biological ground is more fertile. Drivers, like stress, sleep, nutrition, and activity, determine whether that ground produces disease. Acting on this early is one of the strongest levers preventive medicine has.
What you do now shapes what your children face.
Inherited risk works in both directions. If a parent’s conditions were left to progress unaddressed, you inherited the risk pattern. If you address yours structurally now, your children inherit a different set of lifestyle norms, which independently affects their expression of the same underlying risk.
What the
assessment
involves
The free assessment is a structured 10-minute questionnaire to determine your risk level. Here’s what you’ll be asked to share, and what you’ll receive:
01
Your current numbers
Any recent blood pressure, blood glucose, HbA1c, or lipid readings you already have. If you don’t have recent numbers, that’s fine. The assessment still works with symptoms and family history.
02
Your family history
First-degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) with high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular events. Also include their approximate age of onset where known. This is where the inherited-risk picture gets built.
03
Your lifestyle context
Sleep quality, stress load, activity, and existing medications. These are the levers that decide whether inherited risk becomes disease.
04
Your personalised risk overview
A written overview covering your current status, your inherited risk pattern, and a one-page summary you can bring to your GP. This is delivered via email the moment you finish and is yours to keep.

The free assessment is the starting point. It takes just 10 minutes to answer questions about your current health and your family. You’ll then get a personalised cardiovascular risk overview and a one-page summary for your GP, emailed immediately.
