The Father’s Heart Protocol
You might have your father’s heart, including the risks no routine check picks up. Fig runs the full picture, including the inherited cholesterol marker most people are never tested for. Then your GP builds a 12-month plan and follows through on it.
- Full heart panel, including ApoB and Lp(a)
- Every result explained, with imaging where indicated
- 12-month protocol with re-testing built in
Chest pain, pressure or sudden breathlessness right now? Call 000.
If this is you
- Heart disease in the family
- Cholesterol “a bit high” for years
- Blood pressure creeping up
- Feel fine, never been tested
- Over 45 and putting it off
- No idea what your numbers mean
What we look at:
Full heart blood panel
- Cholesterol in full, including ApoB, a more precise count of the particles that build plaque
- Lp(a), the inherited cholesterol marker a routine check leaves out
- Blood sugar (HbA1c), inflammation (hs-CRP), and kidney and liver function
Family and lifestyle history review
- Who in your family had heart disease, and at what age
- Blood pressure, weight, activity, sleep, smoking and alcohol
- Past results and medications, reviewed as one picture
Targeted investigation where your results indicate it
- Coronary calcium score to see whether plaque is already there
- ECG or echocardiogram where your history or results point to it
- Cardiology referral if your results need specialist eyes
Testing is easy
01
Complete your Fig baseline
Your history, your family’s history and your bloods, done once and properly.
02
Book a video or phone consult with your doctor
Go through every number with a GP who explains what it means for you.
03Build a 12 month plan with your doctor
A plan matched to your actual risk, with re-testing to see your numbers move.
A standard cholesterol test can’t see what
you inherited.
Lp(a) isn’t part of a routine check or covered by Medicare, so most people never find out their level.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime test. Fig includes it.

What is Fig?
Fig is an Australian digital health clinic bringing GP-led care, a dedicated care team and your care plan together in one connected experience.
Where is Fig available?
Fig is available to patients located in all Australian states and territories: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. Fig is not available outside Australia. You must have an Australian residential address and be located in Australia at the time of your consultation, and we can only deliver medication to Australian addresses.
Who is it for?
Adults who want a doctor-led weight or health protocol with ongoing monitoring rather than a one-off consult. Eligibility is confirmed by a GP after your health check.
Do I need to already have a prescription or a GP?
No. You do not need an existing prescription or a regular GP. Your Fig doctor reviews your health check and decides what is appropriate for you.
How is this different from other weight-loss options?
Care does not stop at the prescription. You keep the same doctor, a care team checking in, and monitoring that continues for as long as you are on the protocol.
