Last week, our lab partner "Labor Susa" held a Lyme (Borrelia) disease training session at their laboratory HQ in Ulm, Germany.

Dr Milorad Susa, MD, Lab Director and owner of the lab, hosted the day and together with guest speaker Dr Lydia Reutter, they worked through some of the questions that doctors and practitioners most commonly ask such as:
What is known about Lyme disease in 2026, and what is still being missed?
Is standard serology enough as a basis for diagnosis?
Why is iSpot so much better?
Which diagnostics work best in practice?
Which treatment approaches are most appropriate depending on the stage of disease?

These are not academic questions, but questions that doctors and patients commonly ask. They are the questions that sit behind years of undiagnosed or misdiagnosed patients who were told their results were normal, when the problem was the wrong test leading to the wrong answer.

Training sessions like this matter not just to Germany, but to the world. They keep the clinical conversation moving forward and they shape the quality of diagnostic testing that continues to be developed to ultimately diagnose care for the patient more precisely.

Labor Susa is a government-certified laboratory in Germany, yet privately owned, giving it more than the usual accreditations on quality and standards. Dr Susa and his team of lab scientists and technicians work daily on delivering and continually improving tests and undergo research that helps to diagnose complex health conditions and chronic infectious diseases. It is the core reason why here at GLXG we can state with confidence that the testing we offer with Dr Susa goes further and is better than standard tests available within most healthcare systems.

If any of the questions above are ones you are grappling with in your clinical practice, do get in touch. We would be happy to set up a training session with you or a clinical group that is bespoke to your needs.

In March our CEO & Founder, Bronia, was at the of Derby for their annual Make Your Mark Marketing Day, where she lectures throughout the year for the Business, Legal and Social Sciences department.

Make Your Mark is built around one idea: giving marketing students honest, practical exposure to the industry before they step into it. Alumni, guest speakers, and businesses in the same room, talking openly about what working in marketing actually looks like.

Bronia chaired the alumni discussion panel where the conversation ranged from how they first entered the job market in a field relevant to their degree, the challenges that exist, the breadth of opportunity within the field of marketing, and the ever-growing presence of AI and its impact on the work they do.

Thanks to: Jordan Diston, Amy Carter, Emily Smith, Hannah Murfin, Rebecca Shaw for their participation in the alumni panel event.

Bronia also launched a GLXG summer internship programme that she has created for a BLSS student from the University of Derby.

Industry speakers also included: Martin Broadhurst of Broadhurst Digital, Jonathan Leach of Indigo Drum Communications (Unstrictly), Rebecca Shaw of MetaMetrics, Andrew Lowe and Adam Rodgers of Marketing Derby, Nikki Paterson and Luce Greetham from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)

Days like this matter. Not because of the agenda, but because of what gets discussed and asked by students to those already working in the world they want to enter. It strengthens the connection between degree and possible avenues students can follow once they graduate.

Thanks to Tracy Powell, Alison Lawson and the team for having us. Looking forward to 2027!

Getting a tick-bite used to be a more seasonal thing in the Northern Hemisphere. We associated spring with the time of year when ticks would come out of hibernation, start to be more active and combined with our own behaviour of being outdoors more and wearing shorts/T-shirts, the combination was known to lead to more tick bites.

However, with milder winters in many countries, as well as earlier spring weather, ticks are often on the move throughout the winter and start their breeding season earlier.

As the weather improves and you head outside don’t forget to:
1. Wear long sleeves and tuck trousers into socks.
2. Use an insect repellent that is effective against ticks.
3. Stick to well-maintained paths vs long grass where possible.
4. Carry a tick removal tool.
5. After being outside, check yourself, your children, and your pets. Shower as soon as you can.

If you are bitten and start to feel unwell, get tested promptly. Standard serology testing for Lyme disease frequently produces false negatives, particularly if testing is not done early enough as Lyme suppresses the immune system.

TCell/iSpot testing looks directly at the immune response inside the cells, giving a more accurate picture of what is actually going on. Here at GLXG, we test for Lyme disease using antibody and TCell/iSpot methods.

Many patients assume that if their standard lab tests come back normal or ‘within range’, nothing is wrong. Results are often interpreted as ‘negative’ despite significant presenting symptoms leaving the patient unsure what to do next.

This is exactly what our CEO & Founder, Bronia Thomas talked through with Dr Richard Rocker in episode 14 of The Integrative Continuum, Dr Rocker’s podcast channel.

Bronia founded GLXG after her own experience of hitting dead ends in conventional healthcare. She knows first-hand what it means to be told your results are normal when you know something is wrong.

Dr Rocker and Bronia discuss:
• Why lab tests are not all created equal
• The diagnostic gaps in chronic illness
• Lyme disease and complex infections
• How technology and AI may reshape the future of diagnostics

The Integrative Continuum, founded by Dr Richard Rocker is a podcast channel focussed on diving into the world of Functional, Integrative, and Natural Medicine, exploring how we can bridge science, practice, and holistic therapies to restore health and vitality.

Today is International Long COVID Awareness Day.
For millions of people, COVID has never ended. Fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, exercise intolerance with symptoms worsening after exertion (PEM), concentration/memory problems (“brain fog”), and respiratory or cardiovascular complaints. Symptoms that persist long after the initial infection, often with no clear answers from their healthcare provider.

One of the biggest challenges is diagnostics. Many people are told they have Long COVID based on symptoms alone. No test. No certainty. No baseline to treat from. Healthcare systems are overloaded and prescribe to alleviate symptoms, not to treat the root cause.

That's where we come in.

We offer antibody and T Cell/iSpot testing for COVID-19 that gobeyond a standard test. Our panels help clinicians confirm a current or ongoing infection, identify Long COVID as a chronic infection through Spike-Antibodies, and assess the influence of COVID vaccines through Nucleocapsid-Antibodies.

We also look at what's happening beneath the surface. The inflammation and immune response that symptoms alone can't explain. That includes markers like TNF-Alpha, free Spike protein, Interleukin-6 and Complement activation (C3, C4 and C5). This gives a much fuller picture of how the body has been affected.

For patients who've been told everything looks okay but still don't feel right, that picture can make a real difference.

If you're a practitioner looking for more diagnostic clarity, or a patient trying to understand what's happening in your body, we're happy to help.

Did you know that all our diagnostic testing is delivered from one single laboratory in Germany?

Did you know that this lab is privately owned, but has all the German government accreditations that hold it to the highest German standards assuring you of the highest quality and sensitivity and specificity of testing?

Did you know that we offer testing from the most basic health check to the most complex disease or infection?

GLXG offers everything from full‑body health and longevity checks, mitochondrial and energy function, environmental toxins and immune dysregulation, through to stress biomarkers, hormones, tumour markers, gut microbiome, and even diagnostics for complex chronic conditions such as Lyme, TBDs and Long Covid.

We offer T Cell/iSpot testing as well as standard ELISpot, antibody, PCR and other testing methods and can test blood, urine, saliva, stool and other bio samples depending on the test selected.

Why does having this breadth of tests matter?
👉It can save time and effort of sending different samples to separate labs.

It's January. Here in Europe, the days can be dark and gloomy. In 2005, a man by the name of Cliff Arnall, member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) coined the term "Blue Monday." It was the date he stated was the most depressing day of the year because of the average weather conditions and low light in the Northern Hemisphere. Arnall linked the weather, low light to low moods, motivation dips, and post-holiday blues.

Whilst his concept has been rebuffed since as non-scientific, there are many people this time of year who suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and struggle with their mental health. If you are one of the many who feel a low mood and fatigued right now, you're not alone.

What few realise is that if your mental health is consistently low, or you feel chronically stressed by work or simply everyday life, it can - over time - alter your body's chemistry significantly.

Spotting chemical imbalances early is key through simple at-home saliva testing that tracks cortisol, melatonin, and DHEA over 24 hours. Add in a urine check for adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin and it will give you a clear picture of your chemical stress and happiness scores, not just 'how you feel'.

Ask us about our Stress Biomarker testing that we offer at info@glxg.com.

In the meantime, if you feel well enough, simple activities such as gentle daily exercise and exposing yourself to daylight as much as possible, will all help in the weeks until the first sign of Spring comes with warmer days and longer daylight hours.

As a new year begins, and the routine of daily life/work resumes, I wanted to start with a reflective thought on the past year and what we have done together.

It is thanks to you, our customers and incredible partners in integrative and functional medicine, that we had a great year in 2025. Our business, now in its second year, has grown to support and service more practitioners and patients in even more countries around the world.

As our geography has expanded, so too has our range of testing, so that we are now able to offer more people, more varied health diagnostics than ever before. We're genuinely grateful for every conversation, test kit and collaboration together.

We are starting the year with a bang, as more medical practitioners are coming on board to use our testing and the web of support GLXG provides to connect the dots more smoothly in the patient experience. We look forward to welcoming you all!

So welcome to 2026 – a year of renewed energy, an exciting vision of the future – and above all, good health in 2026!

And now… back to work!

🎄With Christmas upon us, and the holiday season in full swing, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy, peaceful and healthy end of year from us all at GLXG.

To those clinics, doctors and practitioners who have worked with us, supported us, and helped us reach more patients to support, we thank you.

To the many patients we have connected with, or supported directly with your diagnostic test orders, it's been lovely to get to know you briefly and we hope that 2026 is a healthier year for you.

And to those of you that find this time of year hard, whether it is missing loved ones that are no longer with you, or life circumstances that mean you cannot be together with family or friends, and to those who are struggling with illness at this time of year, we send you our warmest wishes that you may find some pockets of joy this season.

We will be working with a reduced team throughout the holiday season to provide assistance and support to anyone who needs it. Please direct your enquiries to info@glxg.com, which will be monitored most days. We are only closed: December 24, 25, 26 and January 1st (+ weekends).

Wishing you all the best, and looking forward to reconnecting in the New Year.

Sincerely,
Bronia Thomas
CEO & Founder
