CLIENT SUCCESSES

At The Feel Good Society, testing is a core part of personalised care. We review your health history, symptoms and existing results, then consider further investigations where appropriate. Depending on your individual concerns, this may include blood tests, gut testing or hormone testing.

​

We explain what each test can tell you, its limitations and how the findings may inform your treatment. Your plan brings this information together with your circumstances, preferences and goals, and is reviewed as your needs change.

​

The core testing notes below describe the results reviewed and investigations completed for each client, shared with their permission. Testing is selected individually and may involve your GP or specialist, so your own plan may look different.

​

Jessica | Fertility - We had been trying for about two years, and I had always struggled with irregular cycles. My OBGYN prescribed Clomid to help me ovulate, but I still felt I needed to understand more about what was happening with my health before considering IVF. Suzzi helped me understand my symptoms and seek further testing and care for Hashimoto's. I started getting positive ovulation tests and later became pregnant. Having support through that time meant a lot to me. Core testing: Reviewed thyroid function, relevant thyroid antibodies and appropriately timed reproductive hormone blood tests; vaginal microbiome profiling was offered as an option.

​

James | Energy and fatigue - I was tired most days and finding it hard to keep up with work and family life. Suzzi went through my health history and reviewed the blood results I already had, explaining what needed further discussion with my GP. We talked through a treatment plan that took my work hours and routine into account. I appreciated knowing why each recommendation was there and having somewhere to start that felt manageable. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count, iron studies and thyroid function; B12 and folate were indicated.

​

Andrea | Insomnia - After years of struggling with insomnia, I felt I had reached rock bottom after giving birth. Someone recommended Suzzi, and I'm so glad they did. I really appreciate her knowledge and down-to-earth personality. Her advice feels easy to understand, and the support has helped me build healthier habits for myself and my family. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count, iron studies and thyroid function.

​

Sarah, parent | Child's digestion - We booked because our child's tummy troubles were becoming a concern. Suzzi went through their history and previous results with us, then explained whether further testing or a GP review might be useful. We discussed the proposed care plan carefully, including what each recommendation involved. I appreciated that it was based on our child's needs and that we had time to ask questions before deciding on the next steps. Core testing: Reviewed doctor-arranged full blood count, iron studies and coeliac testing; targeted stool testing was considered; gut microbiome profiling was considered following age-appropriate assessment and discussion with the child's treating doctor.

​

Lisa | Perimenopause - I came to Suzzi for support with menopause symptoms, including night sweats and hot flushes. She has helped me enormously during this stage of my life. Along with her knowledge, I've really valued how warm, caring and understanding she is. I'm grateful to have had her support while working through my concerns and care options. Core testing: Reviewed thyroid function, full blood count and iron studies; cortisol rhythm and gut microbiome profiling.

​

Riley, teenager | Skin concerns - I was feeling self-conscious about my skin and confused by all the advice online. Suzzi asked what I'd already tried and looked at my health history before explaining the options. We talked about whether testing was relevant and what the proposed treatment would involve. I liked being able to say what felt manageable for me. She explained things directly to me and included me in the decisions. Core testing: Reviewed existing results; hormone testing was coordinated through Riley's doctor, and gut microbiome testing was arranged through TFGS.

​

Michelle | Reactive arthritis - I never expected a bad case of food poisoning to be followed by a diagnosis of reactive arthritis. It was a lot to take in. Over the following months, I explored changes to my diet and lifestyle and eventually experienced remission. Those changes became an important part of my experience of managing my health. Core testing: Reviewed existing inflammatory markers, full blood count and relevant historical medical investigation results.

​

Amy | Uveitis - I had been managing uveitis for more than ten years and was concerned about the side effects of long-term steroid use. I wanted to explore what other support might be available. Making changes to my diet became part of that journey and gave me another area of my health to focus on. Core testing: Reviewed existing medical results; targeted nutritional blood tests were considered where dietary history or symptoms suggested a deficiency.

​

Katie | Hypothyroidism - My health journey involved years of weight changes and feeling like I was constantly falling off track and starting again. Earlier experiences of trauma were also part of that picture. Over time, my relationship with my body and weight changed. For me, the journey involved more than food or a number on the scales. Core testing: Reviewed TSH, free T4 and existing thyroid antibody results; iron studies, B12 and gut microbiome mapping were considered.

​

Kelly | Period pain - I had been struggling with constant period pain. After a few months of nutritional and herbal support, I noticed changes in my pain, mood and digestion. My cycle also changed from around 21 days to 28 days. Those changes made a real difference to my everyday experience. Core testing: Reviewed existing relevant medical results; full blood count and iron studies were considered where bleeding was heavy.

​

Daniel | Digestive health - My digestion was becoming something I thought about whenever I ate, especially when going out. I'd tried changing things myself but was getting confused by all the advice. Suzzi explained the testing options, what they might tell us and the costs before we decided what was appropriate. The recommendations were tailored to my symptoms and the foods I normally ate, and we reviewed them together at follow-up. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count and coeliac results; targeted stool testing for inflammation or infection was considered; gut microbiome profiling was discussed, with its limitations explained.

​

Meg | Coeliac disease, chronic fatigue and IBS - I had been living with difficult symptoms for as long as I could remember. At times, I felt dismissed and as though what I was experiencing wasn't being taken seriously. I came to the clinic because I wanted to explore support and take a more active role in my health. Core testing: Reviewed coeliac results, full blood count, iron studies, B12 and folate; targeted stool testing was considered; gut microbiome profiling was offered as an option, with its limitations discussed.

​

Jacqueline | Mixed connective tissue disease - I was an enthusiastic university student when my health changed so much that I found myself bedridden. It was difficult to adjust to how different life had become. Working with Suzzi helped me understand what I was experiencing and reconnect with some of the spark I felt I had lost. Core testing: Reviewed existing specialist blood results and full blood count; targeted nutritional markers were indicated.

​

Michael | Sleep and stress - Between work and everything happening at home, I was struggling to switch off at night. Suzzi asked about my sleep, medications and daily routine before talking through treatment options. We also discussed whether any further checks were needed. I was honest that a complicated plan wouldn't work for me, and she took that into account. I liked being able to ask questions and talk through what I could realistically fit into my day. Core testing: A targeted review of full blood count, iron studies and thyroid function was considered where symptoms suggested a medical contributor.

​

Andrea | Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia - In my twenties, I exercised regularly, so I couldn't understand why my energy was declining and my joint pain was increasing. Eventually, I was doing very little of what I used to enjoy. After nearly two decades of looking for relief, support through the clinic became an important part of my health journey. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count, iron studies, thyroid function, kidney and liver function; B12 and folate were indicated.

​

Daniella | PCOS and hypothyroidism - I had spent years trying different natural approaches and looking for something that would help. Working with The Feel Good Society brought lifestyle changes into my care. Over time, my health improved, and I later became pregnant. That was a meaningful chapter in my journey. Core testing: Reviewed thyroid function, relevant androgen blood tests, blood glucose assessment and lipid profile.

​

Emma, parent | Nutrition and eating routines - Mealtimes had become stressful, and I was worried about how limited our child's food choices were. Suzzi asked about what they actually ate, what we'd already tried and how meals worked in our house. We talked about whether any nutritional checks were appropriate and what would need to be arranged through our GP. The plan started with practical steps suited to our family, and any suggested treatment was explained before we considered it. Core testing: Full blood count and iron studies were considered; B12, folate and other nutrient tests were considered where dietary assessment suggested a specific risk.

​

Simone | Hormonal acne - After coming off birth control, which I had taken for five years, I started getting acne on my face and body. I followed my treatment plan consistently and noticed my skin becoming clearer. I still get some breakouts, but they are much less frequent than before. Core testing: Relevant androgen blood tests were considered alongside other signs of hormone disturbance; gut microbiome mapping.

​

Nicole | Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and chronic nausea - With my research background, I naturally wanted to understand everything and find an answer. One of the biggest things I learned through my health journey was that progress isn't always straightforward. There have been changes along the way, and learning to accept that has been important for me. Core testing: Reviewed existing inflammatory markers, full blood count, kidney and liver function; targeted nutritional testing was indicated.

​

Ben | Preconception support - When we started thinking about having a baby, I wanted to understand what I could do for my own health too. Suzzi reviewed my history and explained which investigations we could discuss with my doctor. My plan covered nutrition and lifestyle, with the reasons for any proposed supplements explained. It felt specific to my circumstances, and I appreciated being included in the preparation. Core testing: Reviewed existing semen analysis and relevant medical results; targeted nutritional blood tests were indicated.

 

Alex | Everyday wellbeing - I had a few different concerns and didn't know where to begin. Suzzi helped me put everything into perspective, including previous test results and what might need further assessment. We agreed on the priorities before putting a treatment plan together. I liked that my budget and routine were part of that conversation. At follow-up, there was time to discuss what I'd managed and what needed adjusting. Core testing: Reviewed existing blood results; targeted blood count, iron, thyroid, glucose and lipid testing was considered according to symptoms and risk factors.

​

Kate, parent | Sleep and daily routines - Bedtime had become a difficult part of our day, and we wanted guidance that suited our child. Suzzi asked about their daytime routine, health history and anything we were already using. She explained what might need checking before we considered treatment. We talked through the recommendations together, including how they would fit around school and family life. I appreciated having a plan we understood and could review as we went. Core testing: Reviewed existing results; TFGS ordered iron studies, as dietary history suggested possible iron deficiency and restless legs.

​

Jordan, teenager | Energy and wellbeing - I was finding it hard to juggle school and activities when I felt tired. Suzzi gave me time to explain how I was feeling and reviewed the results we brought to the appointment. We discussed any further checks with my parent and what the treatment recommendations were meant to address. The plan took my school day and activities into account. I liked being asked what I thought and having things explained to me as well as my parent. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count, iron studies and thyroid function; targeted nutritional testing and gut microbiome mapping.

​

Cherene | Hashimoto's and perimenopause - I had been experiencing weight gain, hair loss, night sweats and significant mood changes. The medication prescribed by my endocrinologist helped with some of my symptoms, but fatigue was still affecting me. After starting the TFGS plan, I noticed a change in that fatigue. Having support alongside my existing medical care was important to me. Core testing: Reviewed TSH, free T4, full blood count and iron studies; additional nutritional markers were indicated.

 

Laura | Rheumatoid arthritis - What began with a swollen knee led to a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and changed my everyday life. After years of medication and becoming a mother, I found my symptoms getting more difficult. I sought additional support and made changes to my diet as part of working towards less pain and better wellbeing. Core testing: Reviewed existing inflammatory markers, full blood count and medication-monitoring results; nutritional testing was indicated.

 

Brandi | Crohn's disease - For a long time, I didn't talk about my digestive symptoms because I thought they were normal. My health journey involved Crohn's disease and several infections, and I began to recognise just how much I had been putting up with. Mindset work also became part of the support I explored along the way. Core testing: Reviewed full blood count, iron studies, B12, folate and existing inflammatory or stool calprotectin results; gut microbiome profiling was discussed alongside gastroenterology care, without replacing disease monitoring.

 

Adina | Hypogammaglobulinaemia and colitis - I spent more than a decade seeking help from different practitioners while trying to understand my health. It was frustrating, and I often felt disconnected from my body. Over time, an important part of my journey was moving towards more acceptance and being kinder to myself. Core testing: Reviewed existing immunoglobulin results, full blood count and relevant digestive investigations; targeted nutritional markers were considered; gut microbiome profiling was discussed alongside specialist care.

 

Renee | Hashimoto's - I was experiencing allergies, low energy, a low body temperature and skin concerns that seemed unrelated. I had spent years trying to understand what was happening. Coming to the clinic became part of learning more about autoimmunity and exploring natural health support. Core testing: Reviewed TSH, free T4 and existing thyroid antibody results; iron studies and B12 were indicated.

 

Lyndsey | Polyarteritis nodosa - My symptoms had been difficult to make sense of, and I went through several diagnoses before getting clarity. My recovery has been gradual. There have been challenges along the way, but the progress I've experienced has been meaningful to me. Core testing: Reviewed specialist-arranged inflammatory markers, full blood count, kidney and liver function; nutritional markers were indicated.

​

Vickie | Myasthenia gravis and epilepsy - My health journey began more than forty years ago when I was diagnosed with epilepsy at fourteen. Over the years, I have explored different ways of supporting my health. Working with The Feel Good Society became part of finding a balance between conventional care, natural approaches and the things I could do for myself. Core testing: Reviewed existing medical and medication-monitoring results; targeted nutritional blood tests alongside neurology care.​

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Personalised Health Support

If you’ve been doing “all the right things” but still don’t feel your best, it can be difficult to know what to focus on next.

 

Conflicting advice, information overload and generic health plans can leave you with more questions than answers.

​

Your consultation is a space to bring the whole health picture together.

​

We’ll explore your health history, current concerns, symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, medications and supplements, existing pathology and, most importantly, what you want to achieve.

​

From there, I’ll develop a personalised plan with clear, practical recommendations relevant to you. Depending on your needs, this may include nutrition and lifestyle strategies, practitioner supplements, herbal medicine, pathology or functional testing, and referrals where appropriate.

​

Your consultation can help you gain:

  • Clarity around what to focus on

  • A better understanding of your health and the factors that may be contributing

  • A personalised, practical plan

  • Support with pathology and testing where appropriate

  • Ongoing guidance as your needs and goals change​

​

Less guesswork. More clarity.
 A plan built around you.
