As a tissue itself, blood moves throughout our body, interacting with all other tissues and organs.

This unique role allows analysis of how substances such as proteins, cells, or chemicals behave in our blood.

Your doctor uses blood tests to screen, diagnose, and monitor your health and highlight risk factors for chronic diseases such as high cholesterol.

Blood test results can provide valuable insight into the status of nutrition, our metabolism, and the effectiveness of current medication.

Also crucial in analysing organ and immune function, blood tests can identify health conditions related to infections, organ failure, anaemia, cancer and diabetes.

To complement the high quality of care Medpods Medical Centre Doreen provides, your doctor may arrange blood tests for you or those under your care.

We are well into the school year, and children should have settled into a routine.

At times throughout the year, we can check the physical aspects of their well-being to match their growth.

Correctly fitted bags and shoes can support posture, comfort and activities, as can adding sunblock application to their morning routine.

A wholesome breakfast and lunch with fruit, vegetables and minimally processed foods can help fuel them properly for the day.

Food preparation and meal time at the beginning and end of the day provide an opportunity to support their mental well-being.

We can use this space to ask questions about their day, how they have settled into school and any concerns.

The travel time to and from school is another opportunity to work through issues relating to teachers, students, classes and playtime.

Generating conversations with children takes less time once we build a picture of friend groups, their learning and other aspects of their school day.

Medpods Medical Centre Doreen can provide an overview of their well-being with a kid's health check to complement these efforts.

Your doctor can also coordinate the treatment of medical concerns such as difficulty seeing or hearing a lesson or an injury from lunchtime sports.

The use of alcohol is of concern when we cannot stop without experiencing withdrawal symptoms or develop a tolerance to its effect.

Alcohol consumption will also impact our well-being and those around us when used excessively or if we continue to drink despite legal, social, or health problems.

When noticing these signs, we can take a break from alcohol to assess ourselves by recording how much we consume, how often and for what reasons.

It’s also helpful to note when we have the urge to drink using a rating of one to ten and which days we have had no alcohol.

We can start with a goal of at least two alcohol-free days a week to gauge the influence of alcohol consumption on our work, family, socialising and finances.

A minor reduction in alcohol intake may reduce our blood pressure and excess weight, which are risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes.

Reducing alcohol consumption may also influence our sleep quality, mood, energy, libido and liver health.

If wishing to make positive changes to your well-being, the confidential environment of a medical consultation is a comfortable place to start.

Medpods Medical Centre Doreen can address queries and concerns related to alcohol, discuss strategies for alcohol moderation and provide referrals to specialist services and allied health professionals.
