Yes, we’re talking about poo.
It might feel awkward — but it’s an important conversation.
That’s why, Gut Health Awareness Month this May, we’re encouraging our clients to check in on their gut health.
Every day in New Zealand, nine people are diagnosed with bowel cancer, and sadly, three lose their lives.* Early detection can make all the difference.
If you’re aged 50 and over, the risk of bowel cancer increases — and early detection can be life saving.
The free National Bowel Screening Programme is available:
To support our clients, we’re offering a $50 discount on a bowel screening test through our partner Care HQ, for the first 50 people who get in touch.
The test usually retails for over $287.50.
Test kits will be available from June.
Complete this form to request a kit.
You can also download this guide to see how the process works.
A bowel screening test is just one way to keep an eye on your gut health.
You can also 'review your poo' using the Gut Foundation’s free online checklist: Review Your Poo.
Before undertaking any health screening, it’s also worth ensuring your life and health insurance cover is up to date. In many cases, cover options can change once a medical condition is diagnosed.
We offer a complimentary, no obligation insurance review to help you check that your existing cover still suits your needs before any testing takes place — giving you confidence and peace of mind, whatever the outcome.
Contact us for a confidential chat.
Let’s not shy away from the conversation this May.
Talking about gut health — even the awkward parts — can protect your health and give confidence to those who depend on you.
