Blood Testing
At Cardiff Wellness Centre we believe in empowering you with knowledge about your health. Our comprehensive blood testing services are designed to provide valuable insights into your wellness, helping to identify key markers for diabetes, pre-diabetes, and other metabolic concerns, including inflammation, the root cause of so many diseases. Beyond diagnostics, we focus on the bigger picture—offering personalised nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness advice to help you take control of your health journey. Whether you're looking for early detection, ongoing monitoring, or a clearer understanding of your body's needs, our expert team is here to support you every step of the way.
hs-CRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein) is a crucial test not normally available in the NHS and is standard with our panels. It's much more sensitive than CRP alone and can measure very low inflammation levels in seemingly healthy people, therefore assessing subtle, chronic vascular inflammation and therefore an early predictor of disease.
We are pleased to announce that we now offer an advanced GP panel testing for 150 separate biomarkers (including Adinopectin hormone/Small LDL particle fractionation/ Cystatin C/H pylori/IgE status for allergies/ Apoprotein fractionation/ Complement for immune system analysis). Also, the most comprehensive panel released, a Signature platinum panel measures up to 350 markers across essential health areas from hormone balance and heart health to digestion, nutrition, stress, tumour markers and more. This needs to be discussed with the clinician for individual prices.

Our Process
At our clinic, we understand that it can be sometimes be difficult to arrange a blood test with your own GP or at a local hospital, thus we provide a private phlebotomy service, geared towards Metabolic health. We use a national and specialist private laboratory service in London to expedite your results and most blood results will be available within 48-72 hours. Our doctor and medical team will let you know of the specific turn-around-times for these results.
What tests do we offer?
Metabolic Health (prices see below)
Tracking metabolic markers can reveal important insights into how your body regulates energy, blood sugar, and fat storage. Imbalances may contribute to fatigue, weight gain, insulin resistance, and increased risk of chronic disease.
Key markers may include:
-
HbA1c (long-term blood sugar control)
-
HOMA-IR (accurate assessment of your insulin resistance)
-
Glucose
-
Lipid profile (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides)
-
Ferritin (iron storage)
-
Vitamin D
-
B12 and folate
-
Adinopectin (released from subcutaneous fat cells, protective of cardiovascular health & reduces inflammation)
Cardiac Health panel (£160)
Your heart health is central to long-term wellbeing. Our tests assess cholesterol levels, inflammatory markers, and other cardiovascular indicators to help evaluate:
-
Arterial health
-
Cholesterol balance
-
Oxygen delivery efficiency
-
Risk of cardiovascular disease
Key markers include:
-
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
-
Total cholesterol
-
HDL and LDL cholesterol
-
Triglycerides
-
Lipoprotein(a)
-
Small LDL cholesterol particle assessment
-
Apolipoprotein fractionation (A-I, B, CII, CIII, E).
Hormonal Health
Hormones affect everything from energy and mood to metabolism and sleep. Hormonal imbalances can lead to:
-
Brain fog and low energy
-
Weight changes
-
Mood fluctuations
-
Menstrual or libido changes
Key markers may include:
-
Thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4, thyroid antibodies)
-
Testosterone
-
PTH
-
Insulin and C peptide
-
PSA
-
Oestrogen
-
Progesterone
-
DHEA
-
Cortisol/DHEA
-
Luteinising hormone (LH)
-
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
-
Ghrelin/Leptin "hunger hormones"
Inflammatory Markers
While acute inflammation is a natural and necessary part of healing, chronic low-grade inflammation can be harmful. It is often linked to:
-
Cardiovascular disease
-
Autoimmune conditions
-
Metabolic dysfunction
-
Accelerated aging
Key markers may include:
-
hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein)
-
ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
-
Fibrinogen
-
Ferritin (also a marker of inflammation when elevated)
Omega 3 quant testing- £95
The omega-3 index measures the percentage of EPA and DHA in your red blood cells, reflecting your long-term omega-3 intake. A target range of 8-11% is generally recommended for optimal health benefits, including cardiovascular and brain health.The test also gives your personalised profile of 11 different fatty acids and dietary modifications that can be applied to improve, including your Omega 3:6 ratio. CWC is affiliated and has a partner with a premium Norwegian Omega 3 manufacturer called Eqology (www.eqology.com). As a CWC customer you have access to 25% discounts on their premium omega 3 products.
Food Panel testing (over 200 different foods-£360 blood test)
Click here for example
Comprehensive testing of over 200 foods across multiple categories; dairy, grains, fruit, vegetables, fish & seafood, meat, herbs & spices, nuts & seeds.
FoodPrint® is a food sensitivity test, which
identifies IgG antibodies and immune-
mediated reactions to food. It is also
known as a type III allergy as opposed
to a type I IgE food allergy. IgG tests and
IgE tests cannot be compared. IgE food
allergic reactions are instant and may
be life threatening, whereas IgG food
sensitivity reactions may take up to 72
hours to appear and are more difficult to
detect.
Testosterone Test - £90
Testosterone is a vital hormone that plays a key role in muscle mass, energy levels, mood, libido, and overall hormonal balance. A blood test for testosterone can help investigate symptoms such as fatigue, low sex drive, mood changes, or difficulty building muscle. It’s also used to monitor hormone therapy and assess conditions like low testosterone (hypogonadism).
We offer a range of metabolic panels designed to suit you.
Metabolic Panel 1
£140
Full Blood Count Urea and Electrolytes/Liver function test /Bone Profile/Fasting Lipids
/Thyroid function test /HBA1c/Uric acid/high sensitivity CRP
Metabolic Panel 2
