Diagnostic Blood Tests
Better health starts with a home blood test
Blood tests help you take control of your health. The tests we offer check dozens of biomarkers across hormone health, fertility, nutrition, general well-being, allergy testing and more, making it easy to investigate symptoms and improve your health.
Please take the time to discuss with us exactly what you'd like to find out from your diagnostic screening and if you can't see a test to suit what you want let us know and we can discuss with our partner laboratory getting the right test for you. All our blood tests carry different prices and we are happy to quote for you individually.
How Does it Work?
Our blood test service has been planned to help you proactively manage your health.
Your sample will either be taken via venipuncture (venous sample). Once your sample is taken it is sent off to a UCAS and ISO15189 accredited laboratory and typically your results are back within 48 hours for us to discuss either back in clinic or over video consultation.
Simply book your appointment with us, (we will need 48 hours notice before you attend our clinic for your test and some tests have to be taken at certain times) we will then have everything ready on the day to take your blood sample.
Please feel free to book a free consultation where we can take the time to discuss what test is best suited for what you would like to achieve from your personal screening, alternatively send us a message telling us what screening you would like to have so we can then arrange it at an appropriate time to ensure we have the correct screening test and also are able to ensure we can get your samples to the laboratory in a timely manner.

Below is a selection of the biomarkers we have available to us to help you understand your blood screening but we have many more available to us.
Biomarkers
Active B12
B12 is essential for the formation of healthy red blood cells and is important for energy. Low levels can therefore lead to fatigue and low mood.
Albumin
Albumin is a protein that helps to transport calcium around the body. It can therefore be useful as a marker in the assessment of bone health alongside calcium and Vit D.
Calcium
Maintaining good calcium levels helps decrease the risk of stress fractures and other bone injuries. Particularly important for women over 40 who have a heightened risk of osteoporosis due to the menopause.
Cortisol (9am)
Measuring cortisol is useful in assessing your body's ability to respond to stress. Consistently high levels can lead to high blood sugar levels, muscle weakness, weight gain and also impact energy.
Female Hormones
A useful test for women who are either trying or planning to have children and want to check their key fertility hormones. This test is best done on day 3.
Ferritin
Ferritin is the main form of iron stored in the body and plays a key role in energy. Low levels can make you feel tired and also lead to low mood.
Free Androgen Index
FAI estimates the amount of free testosterone in the bloodstream. This test is for women or those transitioning to be a woman. If male, choose Free Testosterone.
Free Testosterone (calculated)
For those who want a deeper look at their testosterone levels, this tests measure the amount of bioavailable testosterone available to the body. This test is for men or those transitioning to be a man. If female, choose FAI.
FSH
FSH is key in helping to regulate a woman's menstrual cycle. FSH levels rise in women as they transition towards the menopause. Recommend purchasing alongside LH and Oestradiol in women.
HbA1c
HbA1c provides an average reading of your blood sugar levels over a period of 2-3 months. High blood glucose levels puts you more at risk of gaining weight, heart disease and diabetes 2.
hs-CRP
High sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a measure of the general level of inflammation within the body. High levels are associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Kidney Function
This test assesses how well your kidneys are functioning. Note that for those doing high levels of exercise urea and creatinine can be higher due to muscle breakdown. This test can therefore useful in assessing recovery.
Lipid Panel
A standard cholesterol panel measuring both 'good' HDL cholesterol and 'bad' LDL cholesterol together with total cholesterol and triglycerides.
Liver Function
This liver test will help to identify any problems in liver function. The liver can become damaged due to the consumption of excessive calories or drinking too much alcohol.
Luteinising Hormone
LH is key in helping to regulate a woman's menstrual cycle. We recommend purchasing alongside FSH and Oestradiol in women or FSH and testosterone if male.
Magnesium (serum)
Mainly available through diet, Magnesium is important in maintaining good health and performs a wide range of functions including maintenance of strong bones, muscle function and energy production.
Oestradiol
Oestradiol plays a key role in the reproductive, cardiovascular and bone health of females. Levels will naturally reduce in women during the perimenopause.
Omega 3 & 6
Fatty acids play a vital role in reducing inflammation and protecting your body against heart disease. The ideal ratio is 3:1 however, due to poor diet many have far in excess of this. Please note there is 10-15 days turnaround for this marker.
Progesterone
A progesterone test confirms if you've ovulated and is taken on day 21 of your menstrual cycle.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone often measured in conjunction with other hormones such as FSH and LH. A prolactin test is useful in identifying problems with fertility or irregular periods. High prolactin can also be a sign of stress.
Sodium
Sodium is an electrolyte and has an important role to play in regulating body fluid. It is also vital to nerve function as it stimulates muscle contraction.
Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Thyroglobulin aids the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Raised levels of thyroglobulin antibodies are associated with autoimmune diseases that affect the thyroid.
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO) is used to detect the presence of autoimmune thyroid disease. Often measured in conjunction with other thyroid hormones.
Thyroxine (FT4)
Thyroxine (T4) is measured alongside TSH and T3 to help identify thyroid issues. High levels of T4 is due to an overactive thyroid, whereas low levels are due to an underactive thyroid.
Total Testosterone
High testosterone levels in women can often be caused by a condition known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Levels in both men and women decline with age often leading to fatigue, poor libido, low mood and loss of strength.
Triiodothyronine (T3 free)
T3 is the more active form of thyroxine and like T4 it is measured to identify whether the thyroid is working properly. It is used to diagnose an overactive thyroid.
TSH
High levels of TSH can indicate an underactive thyroid which can lead to fatigue and weight gain, whilst low levels are often associated with an overactive thyroid which can cause mood swings and difficulty in sleeping.
Vitamin D (25-OH)
Vitamin D plays an essential role in our health including the development and preservation of healthy bones, boosting our immune system, our muscle function, energy levels and helping to reduce inflammation.
