My Recommended Blood Test List
Functional Blood Test Biomarkers:
Schedule your blood test for the morning while fasted (and after drinking plenty of water e.g. 500ml). Here’s what an ideal panel would include:
- Complete Blood Count: RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, WBC, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils.
- Blood Sugar Balance: HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin.
- Liver Profile: Alk Phos, ALT, AST, GGT, total bilirubin.
- Kidney Profile: Urea, creatinine, eGFR.
- Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, magnesium, bicarbonate.
- Full Lipid Panel: Total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol.
- Thyroid Panel: TSH, free T3, free T4, and, if possible, anti-TPO and anti-TG.
- Iron Panel: Serum iron, ferritin, TIBC, transferrin saturation.
- Vitamin D: 25-OH.
- Active Vitamin B12 and Red Cell Folate.
- Sex Hormones: Oestradiol, progesterone, serum testosterone, prolactin, FSH, LH.
- Inflammation Biomarkers: Hs-CRP, ESR, and, if possible, homocysteine.
In the UK, the NHS may not cover this entire list, which is why private testing is valuable for those looking to build a full health picture.
In my 1-to-1 nutrition programmes such as The Kickstarter I offer a blood testing and consultation package which includes a Medichecks Well Woman or Well Man Advanced Blood Test, worth £194. You can book this right away from my pricing page, but feel free to book in a discovery call to discuss the process with me.
