Frequently Asked Questions
1What is Live Blood Cell Analysis?
Live Blood Cell Analysis at the Justine Blainey Wellness Centre is a wellness screening where a small drop of blood from your fingertip is viewed under a high-magnification dark-field microscope. This allows you and your practitioner to see the size, shape, movement, and condition of your red and white blood cells as part of assessing overall health patterns.
2What can Live Blood Cell Analysis show?
Live Blood Cell Analysis allows practitioners to observe the size, shape, and movement of blood cells under a microscope. These observations may provide insight into patterns related to nutrition, digestion, and overall wellness.
3How is Live Blood Cell Analysis performed?
A tiny drop of blood is taken from your fingertip and placed on a microscope slide. The sample is then viewed immediately under a dark-field microscope, with the image displayed on screen so both you and the practitioner can observe your live blood cells in real time.
4Do I need a referral or special preparation to book?
No referral is required to book Live Blood Cell Analysis at the Justine Blainey Wellness Centre. The clinic also offers a free 5 to 10 minute Meet and Greet so you can ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
5What are the results used for?
The findings from Live Blood Cell Analysis are used to guide personalized recommendations related to nutrition, supplements, dietary adjustments, or lifestyle changes to support your overall wellness. This test is not a medical diagnosis but can provide useful insights into patterns that may influence your health and wellness planning.
6How is Live Blood Cell Analysis different from a regular blood test?
Live Blood Cell Analysis examines a fresh drop of blood under a dark-field microscope immediately after collection, allowing you and your practitioner to view your blood cells in real time. Traditional blood tests are sent to a laboratory and measure specific markers such as cholesterol, glucose, hormones, or blood counts using biochemical analysis. Live Blood Cell Analysis does not replace medical lab testing or provide a medical diagnosis, but it can offer visual insight into blood cell structure and patterns that can support wellness-based recommendations.
