Immune Health & Recurring Illness

When illness keeps interrupting, look at the pattern.

(The longer view)

Where your biology is now. Where you want it to take you.

If illness keeps returning, a clear timeline is a useful place to start. What happened, how often, how long it lasted and what was investigated can all help guide the assessment.

The immune system ages too, and researchers call the slow rise in background inflammation with age “inflammaging”. This area focuses on recurring illness rather than tiredness alone. We review your medical history, previous infections, medicines and existing investigations. Your practitioner explains which questions can be assessed by telehealth and when examination or further referral is needed.

What we look at

  • Recurring infections and illness
  • Frequency, duration and associated symptoms
  • Previous investigations and recovery after illness
  • Relevant family and medical history
  • Current medicines and supplements
  • Follow-up with your GP or specialist

What your assessment involves

02
Look at relevant measures

Your practitioner considers your history and whether further tests or examination are needed.

03
Keep your care connected

Discuss next steps with referral or communication with your GP where appropriate and with your consent.

(The biomarkers)

The data behind the decisions.

Numbers mean more with context, so your history, symptoms and routines come first. Below are examples of what your practitioner may review for this area, where relevant to you. There is no one-size panel: every test has to earn its place, and you hear why before anything is ordered.
