Blood Test Panel
Understanding your baseline health markers can provide valuable insight into how your body is functioning and help identify early signs of imbalance before symptoms develop.
The Women’s Baseline Health Check is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess key areas of women’s health including metabolic function, nutrient status, inflammation, hormonal balance and cardiovascular risk markers.
Blood biomarkers provide measurable insight into how different systems within the body are functioning. These markers can help identify patterns related to energy levels, metabolic health, nutritional status and inflammation.
This test offers a broad overview of core health markers and can be used as a preventative baseline assessment, allowing you to track changes in your health over time.
Women’s Baseline Health Check
This panel evaluates several important physiological systems using a range of blood biomarkers.
Metabolic and Blood Sugar Markers
These markers help assess how the body regulates glucose and metabolic function.
Markers may include:
• Fasting glucose
• HbA1c
• Insulin markersThese tests provide insight into blood sugar regulation and metabolic health.
Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular markers help assess heart health and lipid balance.
Markers may include:
• Total cholesterol
• HDL cholesterol
• LDL cholesterol
• TriglyceridesThese markers can help identify patterns associated with cardiovascular risk.
Nutritional Status
Nutrient markers help assess whether the body has sufficient levels of key vitamins and minerals.
Markers may include:
• Iron studies
• Vitamin B12
• Folate
• Vitamin DThese nutrients play essential roles in energy production, immune function and overall wellbeing.
Inflammation Markers
Markers such as inflammatory proteins may provide insight into underlying inflammatory processes.
Chronic low-grade inflammation has been associated with the development of several long-term health conditions.
General Health Markers
General blood markers help assess overall health and physiological function.
These may include:
• Full blood count
• Liver function markers
• Kidney function markersA full blood count evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, which can provide insight into immune health and oxygen transport.
This analysis may provide insight into:
• Nutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies
• Blood sugar regulation patterns
• Cardiovascular health markers
• Inflammatory patterns
• General metabolic healthUnderstanding these markers can help guide personalised strategies aimed at supporting long-term health and wellbeing.
This test may be beneficial for individuals who:
• Want a baseline overview of their health markers
• Experience fatigue, low energy or metabolic concerns
• Want to assess nutrient levels and cardiovascular markers
• Are interested in preventative health testing
• Want to track health markers over timeIt may also be useful for individuals wanting a data-informed understanding of their overall health status.
Once your laboratory results are available, you will be required to book a results consultation to review your report.
During this session, your results are interpreted within a clinical context and translated into personalised health strategies.
Your consultation may include discussion around:
• Nutritional strategies to address deficiencies
• Lifestyle factors influencing metabolic health
• Targeted supplementation where appropriate
• Strategies to support long-term health optimisationTo ensure accurate results, please follow these preparation guidelines:
• Fast for 8–12 hours prior to the blood test (water is usually permitted)
• Avoid alcohol or heavy exercise the day before testing where possible
• Continue usual medications unless advised otherwise by your practitioner
• Attend the designated pathology collection centre for blood sample collectionYour results report provides a detailed overview of your key health biomarkers.
The report typically highlights:
• Blood sugar regulation markers
• Cardiovascular health markers
• Nutrient levels
• Inflammation indicators
• General blood health markersReviewing these results within a clinical consultation helps identify patterns that may influence your health and supports the development of personalised strategies to improve wellbeing.
Many people take supplements without truly understanding what their body needs. While some nutrients can be helpful, taking supplements without proper assessment may mean addressing the wrong problem or missing important underlying factors.
Functional testing allows us to move beyond guesswork and instead use objective data to guide personalised health strategies.
Testing can help identify:
• Nutrient deficiencies or imbalances
• Environmental exposures that may impact health
• Microbial imbalances within the gut
• Genetic variations that influence metabolism and cellular processes
• Biological patterns that may be contributing to symptomsRather than taking a generalised approach, testing provides information that allows recommendations to be tailored to your individual physiology.
This helps ensure that nutritional strategies, supplementation and lifestyle interventions are targeted, appropriate and aligned with your specific health needs.
For this reason, all testing offered through the clinic is reviewed within a clinical consultation, where results are interpreted and translated into practical, personalised recommendations.
Functional health testing can provide valuable insights into how the body is functioning. However, interpreting these results correctly requires clinical context.
Laboratory reports often present large amounts of technical data, and results may fall within reference ranges while still indicating patterns that are relevant to your health.
Working with a practitioner ensures that your results are reviewed in relation to your:
• Symptoms and health history
• Current diet and lifestyle factors
• Medication or supplement use
• Environmental exposures
• Overall health goalsRather than looking at individual markers in isolation, a practitioner assesses patterns across multiple systems to better understand what may be influencing your health.
During your results consultation, findings from your test are translated into clear and practical recommendations, which may include targeted nutrition strategies, lifestyle adjustments and appropriate supplementation where required.
This personalised approach helps ensure that testing leads to meaningful, actionable changes that support long-term health outcomes.
