MTIH Blood Test in Leicester
Unlock Deeper Health Insights with Advanced MTIH Blood Testing at The Health Suite Leicester
The Health Suite, a private medical and wellness clinic based in Leicester, UK, offers a range of specialised blood testing services, including the MTIH Blood Panels. These tests are designed to provide a comprehensive overview of an individual’s metabolic health and are commonly used in conjunction with integrative or functional medical approaches, such as those advocated by the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH).
The MTIH Blood Test plays a vital role in assessing and understanding an individual’s overall metabolic health. Developed in alignment with the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health’s principles, these tests go beyond standard screenings to provide a detailed snapshot of the body’s internal environment. They are especially important for individuals dealing with chronic conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or unexplained fatigue, as they help uncover hidden imbalances and potential root causes.
By analysing a broad range of markers—including inflammation, hormone levels, nutrient status, blood sugar regulation, and organ function—the MTIH Blood Test empowers healthcare practitioners to develop highly personalised treatment strategies. This targeted approach is not only more effective but also promotes long-term health by addressing the underlying terrain rather than just managing symptoms.
Moreover, regular MTIH testing can be a powerful tool for prevention. It allows for early detection of imbalances before they evolve into more serious issues, helping individuals take proactive steps toward optimal health. Whether you’re navigating a complex diagnosis or simply aiming to optimise your wellness, the MTIH Blood Test is a valuable, science-backed resource on the journey to better health.
To access the MTIH Blood Test, patients are required to have a referral letter from their overseeing practitioner. The Health Suite also provides convenient options for sample collection, including phlebotomy services that can be arranged at a patient’s home anywhere in the UK for an additional charge. While the panels are comprehensive, it’s important to note that they do not include tumour-specific markers, though these can be added upon request for an additional fee.

Key Blood Tests
Below are the key blood tests used in MTIH Bloods, each focusing on a specific hormone or indicator.
Please confirm the package you are looking for.
The Bone Profile in MTIH blood panels assesses bone health and calcium metabolism. It typically measures calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and albumin levels. These markers help evaluate bone strength, detect osteoporosis, monitor vitamin D and parathyroid function, and support overall metabolic and skeletal health. Regular testing guides early intervention to prevent fractures, maintain bone density, and optimise long-term wellness.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) measures how quickly red blood cells settle in a test tube over an hour. A faster rate can indicate inflammation, infection, or chronic disease, helping monitor overall health and detect underlying medical conditions.
Fibrinogen is a blood protein essential for clot formation. Measuring fibrinogen levels helps assess clotting ability, detect bleeding or thrombotic disorders, and monitor cardiovascular and liver health.
A Full Blood Count (FBC) measures red and white blood cells, haemoglobin, and platelets. It provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, helping detect anaemia, infections, clotting issues, and monitor overall metabolic, immune, and liver function.
Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is a liver enzyme that helps process toxins and drugs. Elevated GGT levels can indicate liver disease, bile duct issues, or excessive alcohol use, making it an important marker for liver and metabolic health.
Haematinics, including B12, folate, and ferritin, are essential nutrients that support red blood cell production and overall blood health. Testing these levels helps detect deficiencies, anaemia, and metabolic or liver-related issues, guiding supplementation and treatment.
HbA1c measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months. It helps detect diabetes or prediabetes, monitor long-term glucose control, and assess metabolic and cardiovascular health risks.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HS-CRP) measures low levels of CRP in the blood to detect inflammation. It helps assess cardiovascular risk, monitor chronic inflammatory conditions, and guide the prevention or management of heart and metabolic health issues.
Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood. Elevated levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, blood clots, and stroke. Measuring homocysteine helps assess heart and metabolic health and guides dietary or lifestyle interventions.
The Insulin C-Peptide test measures the amount of C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin production, in the blood. It helps assess pancreatic function, distinguish between types of diabetes, evaluate insulin resistance, and monitor metabolic and endocrine health.
Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) is a hormone that supports growth, cell repair, and metabolism. Measuring IGF-1 helps assess growth hormone activity, monitor metabolic and endocrine health, and evaluate conditions affecting growth or tissue regeneration.
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme involved in energy production. Elevated LDH levels can indicate tissue damage, liver disease, or hemolysis. Measuring LDH helps assess overall metabolic, liver, and cellular health.
A lipid panel measures fats in the blood, including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. It helps assess cardiovascular risk, detect high cholesterol or triglycerides, and guide lifestyle or treatment plans to support heart and metabolic health.
Liver Function Tests (LFTs) measure liver enzymes, proteins, and bilirubin to assess liver health. They help detect liver damage, inflammation, or disease, monitor treatment, and guide management of metabolic and overall health.
Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs), including Free T3 and Free T4, measure thyroid hormone levels to assess gland function. They help detect hypo- or hyperthyroidism, monitor metabolic and hormonal balance, and guide treatment for thyroid or endocrine disorders.
Urea and Electrolytes (U&E) testing measures kidney function and electrolyte balance, including urea, sodium, potassium, and creatinine. It helps detect dehydration, kidney or metabolic disorders, and monitor overall health and treatment effectiveness.
Uric acid is a waste product formed from the breakdown of purines. Measuring uric acid levels helps assess the risk of gout, kidney stones, and metabolic disorders, and supports overall kidney and metabolic health monitoring.
Vitamin D is essential for bone health, immune function, and hormone regulation. Measuring vitamin D levels helps detect deficiencies, support metabolic and liver health, and guide supplementation to maintain overall wellness.

Do you feel tired, low in energy or struggling with persistent fatigue?
Chronic tiredness may signal underlying metabolic or nutritional imbalances. An MTIH blood panel assesses markers like vitamin levels, blood sugar control, inflammation and organ function to help uncover hidden causes.
Are you concerned about your heart or metabolic health (cholesterol, blood sugar)?
Markers such as lipids, HbA1c, homocysteine and inflammatory proteins give insight into cardiovascular and metabolic risk. An MTIH panel can help identify trends before they become serious health issues.
Do you have ongoing inflammation, pain or symptoms without a clear cause?
Inflammation markers like HS‑CRP and ESR can indicate chronic low‑grade inflammation or immune activity. Measuring these helps you and your clinician understand whether your body is mounting an inflammatory response and why.
Are you managing or monitoring a thyroid, hormone or endocrine concern?
Thyroid hormones (TFTs) and IGF‑1 are included in MTIH panels and can highlight endocrine imbalances that affect energy, weight, mood and metabolism.
Have you experienced unexplained changes in weight, appetite or nutrient levels?
MTIH testing includes vitamin D, haematinics and nutrient markers that help detect deficiencies or imbalances affecting wellbeing, immunity and metabolic function.
Do you want a deeper health picture beyond regular routine blood tests?
MTIH panels are broader than standard screens, measuring comprehensive metabolic, hormonal, nutritional and inflammatory markers. This may help identify subtle health trends and guide personalised care.
