Why would I need a blood test?

Blood tests are one of the most powerful tools for understanding your health. They help detect early signs of illness, monitor ongoing conditions, and provide a clear picture of how your body is functioning. You might need a blood test to:

  • Identify underlying issues like anaemia, thyroid problems, or hormonal imbalances that could be affecting your energy, mood, or weight.
  • Assess risk factors for serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or liver and kidney disorders—even if you’re not showing symptoms.
  • Track vital nutrients like iron, vitamin D, B12, and folate, which are essential for immunity, bone strength, and overall wellbeing.
  • Understand changes in your body due to age, lifestyle, stress, or menstruation.
  • Take control of your health, with clear, science-backed insights you can act on—whether for prevention or peace of mind.
