Life Sciences
Creio que a sua ideia inicial estava correta.
"Health Sciences" podem ser um subgrupo de "Life Sciences"
Life science is the study of living things.The life sciences that comprise all fields of science that involve the scientific study of living organisms, like plants, animals, and human beings. However, the study of behaviour of organisms, such as practised in ethology and psychology, is only included in as much as it involves a clearly biological aspect.
While biology and medicine remain centerpieces of the life sciences, technological advances in molecular biology and biotechnology have led to a burgeoning of specializations and new, often interdisciplinary, fields.
Na minha universidade, a área é denominada "Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde"...
As ciências da saúde ou ciências médicas são as áreas de estudo relacionadas com a vida, a saúde e a doença, e incluem a medicina, a biologia, a medicina veterinária, a naturologia, a biomedicina, a enfermagem, a fonoaudiologia, as análises clínicas, a farmácia, a educação física, a odontologia, a psicologia, a terapia ocupacional, a nutrição, a fisioterapia e a engenharia biomédica, entre outras.

: "Biological Science" se refere à Biologia. Em português, o termo "Ciências Biológicas" normalmente é usado com um sentido mais amplo, englobando as áreas da saúde... mas nem sempre. O CNPq, p.ex., usa o sentido estrito (só Biologia). Depende do contexto!

Natural Sciences
In science, the term natural science refers to a naturalistic approach to the study of the universe, which is understood as obeying rules or laws of natural origin.
The term natural science is also used to distinguish those fields that use the scientific method to study nature from the social sciences, which use the scientific method to study human behavior and society; from the formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, which use a different (a priori) methodology and from the humanities.
Natural sciences form the basis for applied sciences. Together, the natural and applied sciences are distinguished from the social sciences on the one hand, and the humanities on the other. Though mathematics, statistics, and computer science are not considered natural sciences (mathematics traditionally considered among the liberal arts and statistics among the humanities, for instance), they provide many tools and frameworks used within the natural sciences.
Alongside this traditional usage, the phrase natural sciences is also sometimes used more narrowly to refer to natural history. In this sense "natural sciences" may refer to the biology and perhaps also the earth sciences, as distinguished from the physical sciences, including astronomy, physics, and chemistry.
Within the natural sciences, the term hard science is sometimes used to describe those subfields which some people view as relying on experimental, quantifiable data or the scientific method and focus on accuracy and objectivity. These usually include physics, chemistry and biology. By contrast, soft science is often used to describe the scientific fields that are more reliant on qualitative research, including the social sciences.
