Blood Test Order Page

sample blood vials ready for lab testing

I have undergone training in the Functional Medicine and Nutritional interpretation of blood tests and often find such extra tests can highlight underlying causes to symptoms and be of great help in our work together and where really necessary or prudent.

Here you will find a selection of Medical Tests that you can order yourself. If you are working with me then I will have already given you recommendations.

I work with a wonderful Nurse (Rosemary) who can/will visit you in the comfort of your own home for a small charge, so please remember to purchase the kit for private venous collection if that is the case.

The results will come straight to you so please save them as a PDF and send them to me before your next appointment for review.

If you are not working with me

You can still order the tests but bear in mind that tests are a guide and are best assessed in conjunction with presenting symptoms. If you are not working with me and do wish to order any tests, you will need to either collect the blood from your fingertip or arrange your own private blood draw.

A good Practitioner will always treat the person not the test results which is why I do not give advice on any tests without a consultation.

Tea Blending Workshop

Hashimoto's
I want to shout from the roof tops – I am SO MUCH BETTER I have worked with Andrea for a few years on fibroids, adrenal weakness and for the past 3 years on an autoimmune thyroid condition, from which point I embarked on both a huge change to my diet as well as taking herbs and supplements. I was VERY debilitated, unable to work at all, pacing myself through the day with a lot of rest alongside feeling utterly dreadful for days on end.
I have made slow progress and improvements as well as s… Read more

NO MORE NIGHT SWEATS
I am 55 – had severe sleep disturbing night sweats for more than 6months. Stress related alopecia areata, no energy, and a bit down in the dumps. Andrea addressed possible culprits and I had a blood test through medicheck. Easy and convenient, fast results. Since taking the herb mixture prescribed and given by Andrea my night sweats was a past experience. No more changing clothes at night! My hair is growing back, and energy improving. I am nothing less than grateful. Andrea has huge knowledge… Read more

No More Rash!
About time I left a testimonial for one of the very few people I actually admire and respect. I had suffered with an awful skin condition (Erythema Multiforme) for a few years before seeing Andrea and the medics could do nothing for me. It caused me so much stress, which just exacerbated the condition. Anyway, Andrea cleared my problem within a couple of months and that was a few years’ ago. She is truly a special lady with a strong desire to help all those she meets. Could go on – can’t p… Read more

No to Statins
I am so pleased I was introduced to Andrea Hughes as my Doctor prescribed Statins and I had bad side effects in the liver. Since seeing Andrea and taking the Herbs my cholesterol levels have gone down considerably with no side effects. She also added extra herbs to help relieve Arthritis in my wrist which is no longer a problem. I have just been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and again she has helped me. Thanks Andrea.

No to Statins

Stress Levels
I just wanted you to know that I am doing much better and my stress levels have been greatly reduced. I wanted to thank you for your help and support at a very difficult time for me it was extremely beneficial. I will of course contact you again should I need to and will continue to recommend you to others!

Shingles
After suffering several outbreaks of very painful skin eruptions over a period of about 18 months which doctors could not explain but prescribed antibiotics for, I went to see Andrea. She recognised the skin problem as shingles and prescribed herbs which stopped further outbreaks. It has been almost 2 years now without any further occurrence. Andrea also helped diagnose a severe vitamin deficiency which has now been remedied. I am so lucky to know such a special, caring healer. Thank you Andrea

Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectly
Everything seems to make sense and tie in perfectly. You know I have only felt the anxious feelings a couple of days since starting the herbs and that was just before my period a week ago – and really mild This is the best month I have had for at least 6months – so something must be working! I am so grateful for all your help. The anxiety/moods really were taking over my life – affecting my relationship with my partner and the kids!

Recovery from low immunity
After I retired I was exhausted and after pneumonia and another chest infection I had shingles. I had got over the worst of the virus but the symptoms never seemed to leave me completely and after the fourth recurrence I was desperate for some relief and a return of at least some of my lost energy. I had never experienced Medical Herbalism before but I immediately found Andrea to be understanding and knowledgeable. After several months taking the herbal medicines I am relieved to have at last sh… Read more

Sjögren’s Syndrome
I’ve lost count of the different specialists who have tried to help me alleviate the varied symptoms of Sjögren’s Syndrome – and the accompanying pain and discomfort. Relief from it all came only if one accepted unwelcome side effects from prescription pain killers, whose effectiveness diminished over time. Seeing Andrea has enabled me to change all that. Her methodical approach, drawing on a mix of hard science and ancient lore, has been holistic in the sense that she treated me, not my illn… Read more
