Serial symptom-googlers, this one’s for you. If you’re sick of health scares, late-night spirals and convincing yourself you’ve got every illness under the sun, Selph is here to cut through the noise. With evidence-informed, doctor-led insights and simple health tests, it helps you get a clearer picture of what’s really going on. Choose from annual blood tests covering the fundamentals of your health to one-off tests focussed on specific areas of concern. Think of it as a calmer, smarter way to stay on top of your wellbeing — without disappearing down a Dr Google rabbit hole.

Founded by scientist powerhouses Dr Claire Merrifield and Dr Alasdair Scott, Selph was built to help you take control of your own health. Between them, they bring decades of experience: Alasdair is a gut specialist doctor and microbiome scientist (which sounds complicated because it is), while Clair is a London GP, a Breathworks Mindfulness Instructor, and holds a PhD in infant nutrition, metabolism and the microbiome. In other words, when it comes to understanding what’s going on in your body, you’re in very safe hands.

At the heart of Selph are its Seven Simple Checks: an annual blood test covering the essentials, from heart and brain health to inflammation, blood sugar, hormones, nutrients, liver health and kidney health. Think of it as an annual health MOT, giving you a clearer picture of what’s going on under the bonnet. Kits start from £159 and include laboratory analysis, fast results and a doctor-written report that explains everything in plain English rather than baffling medical jargon. Better still, the process couldn’t be easier: take the test at home or book in at your nearest clinic and let the experts handle it for you.

With doctors running the show, your results are reviewed by clinicians, shared securely online and accompanied by practical guidance, so you’re never left wondering what it all means. Whether you’re feeling on top form or simply curious about your health, Selph offers a smarter alternative to late-night symptom-googling. After all, we’ve all convinced ourselves we’re dying from a paper cut at some point.

If you’d like to learn more or discuss your results, Selph is a CQC-registered service, meaning you can book an appointment with Claire, Alasdair or one of the team from the comfort of your own home, helping you get the answers – and support – you need.
