General Health Blood Test

Assesses blood cell balance, inflammation markers and organ function.
Often chosen when investigating persistent tiredness or when performing
routine health checks.

Thyroid Blood Test

Evaluates TSH and T4 to assess metabolic and energy regulation. Useful
for symptoms such as low energy, mood variation or weight change.

where family history or lifestyle may influence cardiovascular risk.

Diabetes Blood Test (HbA1c)

diabetes and monitoring of metabolic change.

Vitamin D influences immune function, bone strength and physical
stamina. Testing may clarify whether deficiency is contributing to
ongoing fatigue, particularly in coastal regions with variable seasonal

employment, which may affect sleep, stress levels and daily routine.
Blood testing may support assessment when experiencing:

Persistent tiredness or reduced stamina

Mood fluctuation or disrupted sleep

Digestive discomfort or suspected food intolerance

Unexplained weight gain or weight loss

Menstruation changes or menopause symptoms

Hair thinning or changes in skin condition

Slower recovery after illness or physical activity

develop gradually.
