In a sea of ever-changing wellness trends and too-good-to-be-true quick fixes, it’s rare to find something that feels genuinely game-changing. As a Pilates instructor, “health is wealth” has always been my motto so when Marko came across my radar, I was intrigued: a smart, science-led blood marker testing service that takes the guesswork out of your health.
What stood out to me straight away was how efficient the entire process was. From booking in for my blood work to uploading the results into the Marko portal, everything felt streamlined and intuitive. There was no complicated admin or back-and-forth. Within 24 hours, my personal dashboard was populated with results, presented with a complete analysis that was easy to understand, but informative enough that I was hooked on reading the results.
And in the context of a busy lifestyle, that simplicity mattered. It’s not always easy to prioritise your health, let alone understand it. I’ve had blood work done through doctors before, and while the results were always shared, they were rarely explained. You’re told you’re “within range,” but if you’re sitting at the very bottom of that range, no one really mentions that you could be functioning far better. What I loved about Marko is that it showed me the optimum range for each marker, so I could see exactly where I sat and where there was room to improve. It made the results feel far more relevant and actionable.
From there, I arranged a 1:1 follow-up consultation with Vinka Wong, the director and co-founder of Marko. After a quick download on my lifestyle and some questions I had, she walked me through my results in detail, reassuring me that my overall health was in great shape, with only a few vitamin top-ups needed. Even better, she supplied me directly with supplements such as Vitamin D and digestive enzymes to support my system.
Almost immediately, I noticed a real difference. With three jobs on the go, my hours are anything but regular, and my eating patterns have become just as unpredictable – something my gut health has paid the price for. However, after only a couple weeks of taking the supplements Vinka supplied, the discomfort I’d almost come to accept as “normal” had gone. I’ll admit, I’m usually quite terrible at sticking to the routine of taking daily vitamins but the fact of not feeling uncomfortable was enough to keep me consistent in taking my supplements every morning with breakfast. It’s a subtle shift, but one that has made a big impact on my day-to-day life.
The whole experience has felt simple, supportive, and surprisingly empowering. Once I finish my first month of supplements, I’ll be booking in again to retest my markers and track the improvement. I’m excited to compare the results and to keep building on this momentum toward better health.
Your health is your greatest investment and clarity is key. Marko delivers it in a way that feels approachable, actionable, and most importantly – effective. Tried, tested, and truly recommended.
