Blood & Hormone Testing

Understand your body from the inside out

Your symptoms tell a story, and the right tests can help uncover the cause. That’s where advanced testing comes in.

At The Metabolic Female, I work with a number of UK-registered laboratories for serum blood testing, as well as the DUTCH Test for urine-based hormone testing, a great alternative option if you’d prefer to avoid having blood drawn. Together, we can identify the root causes of your concerns so you can make informed decisions about your health.

Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, skin issues, or simply want a full health MOT, these tests provide the clarity you deserve.

Have questions about blood or hormone testing? Take a look at the frequently asked questions below, or use the contact button to get in touch directly.

Do I need a referral from my GP?

No referral is needed. I work alongside your existing healthcare, and depending on the test selected, private doctor’s notes are included. You may wish to share your results with your GP so they have the full picture.

Are the tests accurate?

Yes. I only work with trusted, UK-registered laboratories for blood testing, and with the DUTCH Test for advanced urine-based hormone testing, both of which provide gold-standard accuracy.

Do I need to come into the clinic?

Many tests can be taken in-clinic for faster results, but home testing kits are also available for certain panels. I’ll guide you on the most suitable option for you.

How long until I get my results?

This depends on the test. Most blood tests are returned within 2–5 working days, while hormone panels like the DUTCH Test may take 2–3 weeks.

Will you explain my results?

Absolutely. We’ll go through your results together in a one-to-one consultation, with clear explanations and tailored recommendations.

What if I need more tests later?

That’s no problem. We can add on or repeat tests as needed, based on your symptoms, progress, and health goals.

The microneedling feels tingly but not at all painful & the aftercare and general skincare advice is really helpful and straightforward. I really rate the treatment and  I think is helping my confidence. Thank you  so much Emma ☺️🌸

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emma came highly recommended to me.  I initially went to see her for advice on my skincare regime and now receive regular microneedling from her.  Over the course of the last 5 or 6 months, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin and its texture.

Emma is incredibly knowledgeable and a complete professional.  She explains every step of the treatment and the ingredients in the products she uses.  I trust Emma implicitly with my skin.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have visited Emma 3 times for my botox and some filler in my lips and chin. Being anxious around needles, Emma has always been incredibly patient with me and takes the time to really listen to what I want to achieve. When it has come to my botox, she has made it clear what would work well for me, and never tried to over charge for areas that didn’t need adjustments.

Not only is she patient, amazing at her job, but she’s also lovely as well and I would recommend her to anyone! I always leave incredibly happy with the work she has done for me.

Thank you so much Emma. 😊
