Laboratory Testing and Diagnostics

We conduct a whole range of laboratory tests, from general haematology, biochemistry, nutrient and gut microbiome testing to nutrigenomics and precision oncology testing, including liquid biopsies.

  • We work with a number of trusted laboratory partners to provide the following tests:

    • Health check profiles - full blood count, biochemistry (including kidney and liver function), cholesterol, inflammatory markers

    • Nutrient tests - blood levels of vitamins and minerals (including B12 and B complex vitamins, vitamin D, antioxidant levels, full iron studies, toxic and nutrient mineral levels)

    • Expanded hormone panels - female sex hormones (FSH, LH, oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone), full thyroid panel (TSH, T4, T3, thyroid autoantibodies, reverse T3), pituitary hormones, tests for specific hormonal disorders

    • Food or airborne allergy antibodies, food sensitivity antibodies (where appropriate)

    • Autoimmune markers, including specific autoantibodies

    Our doctors and phlebotomists perform the blood draws at our Care Quality Commission registered clinic, and we can also organise blood draws at the Doctor’s Laboratory in London and a mobile phlebotomist anywhere in the UK if needed.

    • Salivary cortisol and DHEA levels to look at adrenal function

    • Hormone metabolite panels (particularly relevant in hormone-related conditions, e.g. breast and gynaecological cancer), e.g. DUTCH testing and HuMAP

    • DNA SNP testing, e.g. Lifecode Gx and DNA Life profiles

    • Breath tests for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and lactose/fructose intolerance

    • Stool tests to examine digestive function, gut inflammation and the microbiome

    • Organic acid testing to examine metabolic health, neurotransmitter metabolites, nutrient levels, as well as urinary bacterial and fungal metabolites

    • Methylation panels

    • Histamine/mast cell activation syndrome testing

    • Organic pollutants and heavy metals

    • Other specialist tests, e.g. liquid biopsies such as Guardant360 and Datar Cancer Genetics (with oncology support), are available on request

    • NEW - TruCheck screening test for early detection of up to 70 types of solid tumours
