Most of our tests are clearly named to help you to decide if it is the correct test for you e.g. Thyroid Blood Test or Vitamin D Blood Tests. If you would like a more general overview of your health we suggest that you book a General Health Check or Metabolic Health Check to start your journey.
Your blood test appointment is booked for 20 minutes in order for our nurse to be able to talk you through the process and make you feel comfortable.
We don’t advise stopping medication for any reason. It’s best to just update your health profile to include the medication that you are on when you take the test. So the doctor can take this into account when they write your report.
If the test that you select requires you to fast (not eat or drink anything except water for 10-14 hours before the sample collection) it will clearly state this on the test web page and confirmation email. If you are unable to fast you can still have the test but please let the nurse know so that your results can be reviewed accordingly.
We recommend testing while maintaining your normal lifestyle (including supplement intake) — so you have a true grasp of your health. For example, if taking supplements is part of your lifestyle week to week — then that’s your status quo and you should test as normal. However, this doesn’t apply if you’re taking Biotin supplements. Biotin intake can affect some results so we would recommend not taking the supplement for a couple of days before the test. If you would like to see how your results are impacted by removing supplements from your diet — then you should take the test four or so weeks after your last consumption of the vitamins.
