The Shape of Health and Happiness
Slow down aging and maximize your healthy life expectancy
Being in poor health or living with a disabling health condition are not inevitable consequences of ageing. As individuals, we have control of 80% of the factors that drive the aging process and 42% of newly diagnosed cancers may have been avoidable.
Through comprehensive lifestyle assessment, examination and blood tests we can help you make personalised, active choices about your lifestyle to change the direction of your health.
We support you to compress the period of life spent with disability by preventing disease, identifying the early signs of disease and then managing it at an early stage to enable reversal.
A healthier, happier, more productive workforce
At Hexagon Health, we give employees the knowledge and motivation they need to improve their health and wellbeing. This is because a healthier workforce not only boosts productivity but also nurtures stronger relationships within the team. We believe that by fostering a culture of wellness, you can create a more vibrant and effective work environment for everyone.
We are passionate about sharing the benefits of living well and optimising health. Our aim is to extend the healthy lifespan. We believe that by empowering the individual to consider all six pillars of health, we can help reduce physical and mental disease in a realistic, measurable and sustainable way.
Cancer Screening
We are excited to partner with Trucheck in providing this blood test which is able to detect over 70 different cancers.
The test is now UKAS accredited and is transforming the ability to uncover cancer at its earliest stages.

Dr Vian Hurle MB BCh DRCOG DFFP DCH DOccMed DipIBLM/BSLM MRCGP
DIRECTOR AND LIFESTYLE MEDICINE PHYSICIAN
I am a GP in South Wales, an educator, and an occupational health and lifestyle medicine physician with qualifications in women’s health, contraception and the menopause.
I became interested in lifestyle medicine while struggling to manage my demanding career and equally demanding family life. My physical and psychological health was suffering, I was burnt out. So I took a step back. I evaluated what I was doing - or not doing - in my life and considered what changes I needed to make.
One change was taking a short course in lifestyle medicine. This gave me the inspiration to implement the six pillars of lifestyle medicine and the belief I could manage both a career and home life.
I studied lifestyle medicine in great detail and became an enthusiast. I qualified and became a certified lifestyle medicine physician.
I became a doctor because I wanted to diagnose and understand the treatment for illness and diseases. Over my 25 years as a GP and junior hospital doctor, I have seen thousands of patients with preventable lifestyle diseases.
I recognise how to extend my own healthy lifespan and enjoy a life free from lifestyle diseases. I now have the resources, knowledge and passion to share that with others.

Dr Richard Pemberton MB BCh DOccMed DipIBLM/BSLM FRCGP
DIRECTOR AND LIFESTYLE MEDICINE PHYSICIAN
I’m an occupational physician, GP, appraiser, educator and certified lifestyle medicine physician and have dedicated my career to improving the health and well-being of others.
After working as a GP partner with Vian for ten years, I relocated to Leicestershire where I now work as an independent occupational physician.
My passion for promoting healthy lifestyles led me to study the causes of lifestyle diseases and to treat them using a lifestyle approach rather than relying solely on conventional medical or pharmacological methods. This approach has had a significant and positive impact on the health outcomes of my patients.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active through cycling and walking, as well as pursuing my hobby as a private pilot.

Dr Kate Staveley MB BCh DCH DRCOG DFFP DOccMed DipIBLM/BSLM MRCGP PGCME
DIRECTOR AND LIFESTYLE MEDICINE PHYSICIAN
I'm a GP, educator, coach, and occupational health physician with a passion for lifestyle medicine. Amidst a busy career and family life, I'm a sports enthusiast – tackling triathlons, skiing, and hiking.
The pandemic became a transformative phase for me, as I personally experienced the benefits of optimizing nutrition, sleep, physical activity, and relaxation.
This prompted me to study lifestyle medicine and cultivate a comprehensive understanding of how the choices we make daily can shape our health destinies.
Armed with this knowledge, I bring the same approach to my patients, aiming to empower them to prevent, treat, and even reverse chronic diseases and mental health disorders through personalized lifestyle interventions.
Why Hexagon Health?
We are a Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered UK based lifestyle medicine clinic which offers a doctor-led service by experienced GPs with a background in occupational health.
We are clinicians who want to offer time with our clients to move from managing symptoms and treating disease to a more proactive and individualised approach to addressing the causes and preventing illness and disease.
We have a partnership with Trucheck: a revolutionary test to detect cancer cells at its earliest stage from a simple blood test. When you detect cancer in its early stages, treatment is more effective and the chances of a positive outcome are significantly increased. Lifestyle changes could prevent 4 in 10 cancers. Research shows that making lifestyle changes during and after cancer treatment can help prevent a recurrence or a second cancer.
We can offer face to face assessments in three geographical locations: South Wales, Thames Valley and the Midlands.
