What General Health Tests Do You Offer?
At Movement and Wellbeing Clinic, we offer a range of blood tests designed to support your wellbeing goals. These tests can be helpful if you’re experiencing symptoms such as low energy, unexplained changes in weight, digestive discomfort, stress-related symptoms, or if you simply want a baseline check.
Our testing options include:
- Food Intolerance Testing (IgG)
- Male & Female Hormone Testing
- Essential Health Check
- Cortisol Stress Test
- Thyroid Test
If you’re not sure which option fits your symptoms, our team can point you in the right direction.
Food Intolerance Testing (IgG)
Food intolerance symptoms can be frustrating because they may not show up straight away. In many cases, symptoms can appear up to 72 hours after eating a trigger food.
Food intolerance testing looks at IgG antibody responses to a wide range of common food and drink ingredients. The goal is to help you identify potential triggers so you can make a structured plan (usually with a temporary elimination period) and monitor how you feel.
Commonly reported symptoms people associate with food intolerances include:
- Bloating or digestive discomfort
- Fatigue or low energy
- Headaches
- Skin flare-ups
- General “inflammation” or feeling run down
If you have severe reactions, breathing symptoms, or concerns about an immediate allergy, speak to your GP or an allergy specialist.
Food Intolerance Vs Food Allergy (Simple Explanation)
Food intolerance and food allergy are different.
- Food intolerance symptoms can be delayed (sometimes up to 72 hours) and may involve multiple foods.
- Food allergy reactions are typically faster and can be more serious.
If you suspect an allergy, do not rely on intolerance testing alone.
Male & Female Hormone Testing
Hormone testing can be useful if you’re noticing changes that don’t have an obvious explanation.
Men often ask about testing if they’re experiencing:
- Low energy
- Reduced muscle mass
- Mood changes
- Low libido or fertility concerns
Women often ask about testing if they’re experiencing:
- Irregular periods
- Fertility questions
- Changes in mood, energy, or weight
We can help you choose the most appropriate test based on your symptoms and goals.
Essential Health Check
If you want a broad overview, an essential health check can help you prioritise your general wellbeing.
Using a home-to-lab finger-prick test, you’ll receive results within around 7 days, along with guidance on:
- Whether results are within an expected range
- Whether lifestyle changes may be helpful
- Whether a GP follow-up is recommended
Cortisol Stress Test
Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone.” A cortisol test can help you understand whether stress patterns may be affecting your day-to-day life.
People often explore cortisol testing when they’re experiencing:
- Persistent fatigue
- Poor sleep
- Feeling “wired” or overwhelmed
- Difficulty recovering from training
Thyroid Test
Thyroid testing can be a useful step if you want to understand whether thyroid hormone levels may be contributing to symptoms such as low energy, changes in weight, or feeling unusually hot/cold.
A thyroid test can also make it easier to track changes over time.
How The Tests Work (Home Or In Clinic)
Our tests use a straightforward finger-prick blood collection system.
- Choose your test (we can help you decide)
- Collect your sample at home or in clinic
- Post the sample to the laboratory in the pre-paid envelope
- Your sample is analysed and results are provided
For food intolerance testing, the lab analyses IgG responses to up to 150 food and drink ingredients.
