About this panel
Most people only get blood tests when something's already wrong. The General Wellness panel reverses that. It covers the markers most likely to identify a developing problem before symptoms appear, alongside the nutritional and inflammatory baseline that drives day-to-day energy, resilience, and recovery. Reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor with full clinical commentary.
Tired, tingling or low on energy? See our guide to B12 deficiency symptoms and testing. CRP and ESR are included here; what inflammation markers can and cannot show is explained on our inflammation marker page. The lipid profile is part of this panel: see our cholesterol test guide and our liver function test page for the liver markers.
Who this panel is for
- You want a comprehensive baseline picture of your overall health
- You're feeling generally below par and want to investigate broadly
- You'd rather check proactively than wait for symptoms to develop
- You're starting a new training, weight, or lifestyle goal and want to track progress

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the General Wellness. Have a question we haven't answered? Get in touch.
How much does the General Wellness cost?
£279. This is the all-in price and includes the appointment, every biomarker listed above, and a written clinical review by a GMC-registered doctor. No additional fees for the consultation or report.
How long do General Wellness results take?
Results are released as each marker is reviewed, rather than held back until the whole panel is complete. Most markers return within about 3 to 5 working days. Vitamin D, B12 and zinc are among the slower markers on this panel, so they set the completion date. Clinician commentary is included. We confirm the expected timeframe at booking. All results are reviewed by a GMC-registered doctor before being released to your secure patient portal.
Do I need to fast for the General Wellness?
Fasting required: please fast for at least 12 hours before your blood test, for the iron studies and triglycerides, but do not fast much longer than 12 hours. Water is fine, and encouraged, but no food or other drinks. Do not stop any prescribed medication. A morning appointment between 8am and 10am is preferred. Avoid alcohol for 24 to 48 hours and strenuous exercise for 48 hours beforehand, and avoid a large cooked-meat meal in the few hours before. Do not take iron tablets for 24 hours beforehand, or a B12 supplement beforehand. If you take thyroid tablets, take them after the blood draw, not before. Stop biotin, including hair, skin and nail supplements, for 3 days beforehand, because it interferes with thyroid tests. If you take folate, B-complex or multivitamin supplements, hold them for 24 to 72 hours before testing (3 days if they contain biotin).

At our private clinic at 134 Harley Street, London W1G 7JY. The nearest tube stations are Regent's Park (5 minutes' walk) and Bond Street (8 minutes' walk). The nearest car park is Q-Park Harley Street (Weymouth Mews).

No. WMG Health offers direct-access blood testing, so you can book online or by phone without a GP referral. Our clinicians review every set of results and will flag anything that requires follow-up.
