What is blood analysis?

Blood analysis, a fundamental diagnostic tool in medicine, involves examining blood samples to provide crucial information about one's health. It's particularly important in the field of nutrition and gut health, as it can uncover imbalances or deficiencies that may be linked to dietary habits or gastrointestinal disorders.

Complete Blood Count (CBC):

Red Blood Cells (RBCs): These cells carry oxygen throughout the body. Low RBC counts may suggest anaemia, often caused by iron or vitamin B12 deficiencies, which can be related to dietary habits or malabsorption issues in the gut.

White Blood Cells (WBCs): These are vital for immune response. Unusually high or low WBC counts can indicate infections/dysbiosis or immune disorders, potentially linked to gut health, as a significant part of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract.

Platelets: Essential for blood clotting, their levels can be affected by various conditions, including nutritional deficiencies.

Haemoglobin and Hematocrit: These tests measure the amount of haemoglobin in the blood and the proportion of blood composed of red blood cells, respectively. They provide insights into the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which can be influenced by nutrition.

Blood Chemistry Panel:

Liver Function Tests: Enzymes like ALT, AST, and bilirubin can indicate liver health, which is closely tied to digestion and nutrient processing.

Kidney Function Tests: Levels of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) reflect kidney health, which can be impacted by diet, hydration, and metabolic processes.

Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels are crucial for cellular functions and can be influenced by diet and gut absorption.

Lipid Profile:

Evaluates levels of total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, and triglycerides. High or imbalanced levels can be a result of dietary choices and are crucial for assessing hormones, bile acids and antioxidants which can indirectly affect gut health through circulatory functions.

Blood Glucose Tests:

These tests, including fasting blood sugar and HbA1c, are critical in diagnosing and managing diabetes. Blood sugar levels are directly influenced by diet and have a profound impact on overall health, including the gut.

Thyroid Function Tests:

Measurements of thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can reveal hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Thyroid disorders can affect metabolism, weight, and digestive functions, making these tests relevant for nutritional assessments.

Nutrient Tests:

These can measure levels of specific vitamins (like B12, D), minerals (like iron, and calcium), and antioxidants. Deficiencies or excesses can indicate dietary imbalances and may point to issues with gut absorption or dietary habits.

Understanding these tests can aid in devising comprehensive nutritional strategies for my clients, especially those with gut-related issues. Blood analysis can guide dietary recommendations and supplement regimens, ensuring a holistic approach to improving gut health and overall well-being.

*I do not use conventional or normal blood test levels as this is based on the average of a population and not necessarily optimal health. 

**After our consultation you have the option to book the 12-week Protocols, 1-1 or self-directed (consultation price will be subtracted)
