How can wellness tests help?

Don’t Just Guess What Your Body and Skin Need

​

​

Advanced wellness blood testing helps uncover the root cause of changes in your body, mind, and skin—rather than simply treating symptoms. By analysing key biomarkers, our tests provide valuable insight into internal health factors that influence energy levels, ageing, inflammation, hormone balance, and skin condition.

Your results allow for targeted, personalised treatment plans, including expert guidance on nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle changes, and aesthetic or skin-focused interventions where appropriate.

Tailored wellness testing often offers broader and more detailed insights than standard NHS GP testing, supporting both preventative health and aesthetic goals. Common concerns wellness and skin health testing can help address include:

  • Metabolic ageing and visible signs of skin ageing

  • General health and comprehensive wellness checks

  • Preventative health, longevity, and optimisation

  • Female and male hormonal health

  • Menopausal symptoms and hormone-related skin changes

  • Hair loss and thinning

  • Fatigue, brain fog, and low concentration

  • Allergies, itching, and inflammatory responses

  • Acne, rosacea, eczema, and dermatitis

  • Digestive health, bloating, and food sensitivities

  • Fitness performance and recovery

How does blood testing work?

An initial consultation can be very useful to understand where to start.

Her you will explore how lifestyle, nutrition, habits and more could be impacting you.  Dr Anatalia can then explain what testing would be useful.

​

Your blood test can then, painlessly, be taken then and there.

​

Blood results return to clinic within 7 working days.

​

Dr Anatalia can then spend time going through them with you to explain what they show and how this will guide you to making lifestyle, treatment or skin changes.

​

You will receive a full breakdown of the results and a comprehensive explaination of what they mean to take home with you.

Wellness Blood Testing – Frequently Asked Questions

​​

What is wellness blood testing?

Wellness blood testing is a proactive way to understand how your body is functioning beneath the surface. Rather than waiting for illness, these tests assess key markers linked to inflammation, nutrient balance, hormones, metabolism and long-term health, helping guide personalised lifestyle, skin and longevity treatment plans

​

How does wellness blood testing support skin health and slow visible ageing?

Your skin often reflects what is happening internally. Wellness blood testing helps identify underlying factors that influence skin quality, ageing and repair, such as inflammation, hormonal balance, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar regulation and oxidative stress. By addressing these internal drivers, we can support collagen production, skin barrier function, clarity, tone and elasticity, while reducing triggers for acne, pigmentation and premature ageing. This internal optimisation enhances the results of skincare and aesthetic treatments and supports healthier, more resilient skin over time.

​

Which blood tests are best for inflammation?

To assess inflammation, we prioritise advanced markers that reflect both short- and long-term inflammatory burden, including:

  • High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)

  • Ferritin (inflammatory and iron marker)

  • Fibrinogen

  • Liver enzymes

  • Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio

  • Cell membrane permeability

  • Arachidonic acid

  • Nutrient levels
    These results help identify drivers of skin concerns, fatigue, accelerated ageing and chronic disease risk.

​

Can blood tests help identify causes of acne?

Yes. Acne is often influenced by internal imbalances. Blood testing can explore:

  • Hormones (androgens, oestrogen, progesterone, SHBG)

  • Insulin and glucose markers

  • Inflammatory markers

  • Nutrient deficiencies (zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D)

  • Thyroid function
    Understanding these patterns allows for a targeted, root-cause approach rather than symptom suppression alone.

 

What blood tests should I consider if I feel tired or low in energy?

Persistent tiredness can have many causes. Common tests include:

  • Full blood count

  • Iron studies and ferritin

  • Vitamin B12 and folate

  • Vitamin D

  • Thyroid function

  • Cortisol and metabolic markers
    These help uncover deficiencies, hormonal imbalances or metabolic stress contributing to fatigue.

​

What is longevity blood testing?

Longevity-focused testing looks at markers associated with healthy ageing and disease prevention, such as:

  • Inflammatory markers- CRP, arachidonic acid, cell membrane permeability

  • Blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

  • Lipid and cholesterol balance

  • Oxidative stress indicators

  • Hormonal health

  • Nutrient status
    These insights support strategies to maintain vitality, cognitive health, skin quality and physical performance as you age.

 

Which nutrient blood tests are most important?

Key nutrient tests often include:

  • Vitamin D

  • Vitamin B12 and folate

  • Iron and ferritin

  • Magnesium (where appropriate)

  • Zinc

  • Omega-3 fatty acid levels
    Testing ensures supplementation is precise and evidence-based rather than generic.

 

How is wellness blood testing different from GP blood tests?

Wellness blood testing is more detailed and often have a preventative aim. It often includes optimal ranges rather than “normal” lab ranges and focuses on early imbalance, performance and longevity rather than diagnosing disease alone. The approach taken is more holistic and looks at a broader range of tests, especially when it comes to nutrients, inflammation and hormones.

​

Do I need a consultation before blood testing?

Yes. A consultation ensures your testing is personalised to your symptoms, skin concerns, goals and medical history. This avoids unnecessary tests and ensures results are interpreted in context, with a clear, actionable plan.

​

What happens after I receive my results?

Your results are reviewed in detail with your doctor. You’ll receive:

  • Clear explanations of what your markers mean

  • Personalised lifestyle and nutrition recommendations

  • Supplement guidance (if needed)

  • Skin, wellness or longevity treatment recommendations
    The goal is sustainable improvement, not quick fixes.

 

Is wellness blood testing suitable if I feel “generally well”?

Absolutely. Many patients feel well but still have hidden imbalances that affect skin health, energy, ageing and future disease risk. Testing allows you to optimise health before symptoms develop.

 

How often should wellness blood tests be repeated?

This depends on your results and goals. Many patients repeat testing every 6–12 months to track progress, optimise interventions and support long-term health and skin vitality
