Live Blood Analysis Appointments
What happens at an appointment?
In-clinic Blood Analysis - Duration: approx 30 minutes - cost £80
At the live & dry blood analysis session I will take a small drop of blood from your finger tip and place it immediately under the microscope. Your blood is then magnified 1000x and projected onto a screen. During the analysis, I scan your blood sample, observing the blood cells and the plasma to check their status and to highlight any indications.
The dry blood test follows and gives a different, but valuable perspective that adds to the overall picture of your health. It assesses inflammation, oxidative stress, toxicity, parasite activity as well as certain nutrient levels.
During the session we will discuss your health, what we see during the analysis, and any concerns you may have.
By the end of the appointment you will have a greater understanding of your blood, your health and what you need to focus on to achieve your health goals.
On Booking
Once you have booked your appointment (click here to visit our online booking app) you will receive a confirmation email which also contains important information for you to prepare for the appointment.
There is a questionnaire for you to complete prior to your appointment which gives me details about your current health symptoms, health history, diet, supplements and medications if relevant. This information helps to make your appointment and subsequent report or great relevance and support to your health journey. The more detail there is, the better for you.
At Your Appointment
You are required to fast for 5 hours before your blood sample is taken. You are advised to hydrate well before-hand with water primarily and you can add in herbal tea or black tea/coffee. You are free to bring something to eat with you and you are welcome to eat this during the analysis session once the blood sample is taken.
At the appointment a small drop of blood is taken from your finger tip for the live blood analysis and another drop is taken for the dry blood analysis.
The live blood is placed onto the microscope and magnified so that we can see the individual blood cells and components of the plasma. This is projected onto a big screen for ease of viewing.
As I scan the sample and take images to record the state of your blood we will discuss what is seen and what it means. I usually ask further questions regarding your health and often this may remind you of details you may have not mentioned in the questionnaire.
The dry blood is assessed afterwards which offers further insights into your health. You will receive a report via email with images of your blood, an explanation and interpretation of the results and a selection of recommendations in terms of diet and supplements that are individually tailored to your particular situation.
