Well Athlete
Maintaining optimal health and performance is essential for both recreational and professional female athletes, as the physical demands of training and competition place increased stress on the body. Intense or prolonged exercise can affect energy availability, hormone balance, muscle recovery, and immune function, while underlying deficiencies or imbalances may develop silently and compromise performance, resilience, and long-term health if left unrecognised.
Our Well Athlete Health Assessment provides a comprehensive blood-based evaluation tailored to the needs of active women. The profile assesses markers related to energy metabolism, iron and nutrient status, muscle and bone health, hormonal balance, inflammation, and organ function. This detailed diagnostic insight enables early identification of potential issues, supports performance optimisation, and helps guide personalised strategies to promote recovery, resilience, and sustained athletic performance.

Why a Well Athlete check matters
Training hard places real demands on your body. Low iron or ferritin, depleted minerals, raised muscle enzymes or an underactive thyroid can quietly blunt your performance and recovery — often long before you'd put it down to anything more than a bad patch of form.
The Well Athlete Health Check looks across the systems that matter most to active people — blood, iron, muscle, heart, liver, kidneys, thyroid and key nutrients — in a single appointment, so you can train smarter, recover better and address any limiters early.

Preparing for your test
FastingYou may be asked to fast beforehand for accurate cholesterol and glucose results — we'll tell you when you book.
Avoid intense exerciseHard or unaccustomed training in the 24–48 hours before your test can raise muscle markers such as creatine kinase, so ease off beforehand for the clearest picture.
Timing & medicationA morning appointment is ideal. Keep taking your usual medication and supplements unless advised otherwise, and mention them at your appointment.
Well Athlete check FAQs
Do I need to fast before the test?
For the most accurate cholesterol and blood-sugar results you may be asked to fast beforehand. We'll give you clear instructions when you book.
Should I train before my test?
It's best to avoid hard or unaccustomed exercise in the 24–48 hours before your appointment, as it can temporarily raise muscle markers such as creatine kinase and skew the result.
How long do results take?
Results are typically ready within 48 hours of your sample reaching the laboratory, after which a GP reviews and explains them.
Will a doctor explain my results?
Yes. Your results are interpreted by an experienced GP — not automated software — with practical, personalised guidance and any recommended next steps.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly, online or by phone.
How is the sample taken?
A simple blood sample is taken at one of our clinical sites in a short, comfortable appointment of around 15 minutes.
What if something needs following up?
If your results suggest anything that needs attention, your GP will discuss it with you and guide you on the next steps, including any further care at Solasta.
