Heartcheck Information

Take Shape is privileged to be one of the first centres in the UK to be able to offer Dr Michael Kucera’s, Kardivar Heart Rate Variable Analysis Test and Mitochondrial Supplementation programme. 

Straight from Russian space medical research, Heartcheck will transform your health and wellbeing.  It will do this because of its focus on health, rather than the conventional approach’s focus on disease.

Heart Rate Variability Analysis

As part of their space medical research, the Russians have been using heart rate variability analysis since 1965 (Baevsky) but is fairly new to western medical science (c.1996).  The Heartcheck test uses the same equipment as the astronauts use and will identify your body's internal state of health.

From the test you will receive a score out of ten determining how healthy you are.  A score of 1-3 means you are healthy and in no need of supplementation.  A score below 4 indicates you would benefit from mitochondrial supplementation and a lifestyle/stress reduction programme.

Mitochondrial Supplementation

The mitochondrial supplementation products, Carosan and Flavorosan, developed by Dr Kucera on the Russian space programme are completely natural and have no side effects.

Mitochondrial medicine has developed (within last thirty years) on the basis of creating more energy at a cellular level in the body.  The aim of mitochondrial medicine is to keep and restore (or at least partially restore) cell functions.

It is viability for disease prevention and as a complement to conventional medicine. It lowers the side effects of some medicaments and medical methods (cancer and cardiovascular diseases etc.) and can increase the effectiveness of some medicines and medical methods (betablockers, antidiabetics, vaccination etc.).  There is also the possibility of decreasing dosages of these medicines and so to reduce their side effects.

Disease

Many medical studies and two international congresses on themes of Coenzyme Q-10 (and other mitochondrial medicine means) approved successful use of these means by different chronic diseases:

• Metabolism (diabetes both types and diabetic complications, obesity, atherosclerosis)
• Muscular and Neurological (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's dis., multiple sclerosis, muscle dystrophies etc.)
• Cardiovascular Diseases (esp. coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathies etc.)
• Chronic Degenerative, Inflammatory Joints and Spinal Diseases (osteoarthritis, osteochondropathies, spondyloses)
• Malignant Diseases (important reduction of side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, acceleration of regeneration of the white and red blood cells etc.)
• Immune System Diseases (allergies, asthma etc.)
• Dental Diseases (parodontosis and many others)

Benefits for Sport

Sports medicine has found a very positive effect in particular, improvements in the acceleration and the quality of regeneration processes after a heavy training load/session and during sports competitions.

Stress Reduction

Mitochondrial medicine actively supports the body’s systems of stress management - the autonomic nervous system, hypothalamo-pituitary-supradrenal system, subcortical sympathetic centers and the central nervous system.  It also supports development of stress reserves. This can be very important for workers with great responsibility, operators of complicated systems and workers with high intellectual demand (aircraft pilots, speed-train pilots, flying navigators, bank managers etc.).

Physical Load Reduction

During your consultation you will also be given a lifestyle and fitness programme to help reduce the physiological load (stress) on your body.

Consultations take place at Take Shape with Ollie Martin, are 30 minutes and cost £50.
