What is recovery and performance care at GoodBloods?
Recovery care at GoodBloods is for active people whose injuries keep coming back or whose recovery has slowed. A doctor reviews your bloods (including iron, vitamin D and inflammation markers), your training load and your sleep, then writes a plan that works alongside your physio.

No. You can start directly. If your doctor thinks you need a specialist, they'll refer you.

Then you don't join one. You keep your results and your plan, and your doctor can share them with your GP.
Yes. Membership is month to month. Pause or cancel any time, with no lock-in contract.
Questions about recovery and performance
Why do injuries keep coming back?
Usually a mix of training load, recovery time, sleep and sometimes low iron or vitamin D. Looking at all of them together is more useful than treating each injury on its own.
Do you replace my physio?
No. We work alongside your physio or exercise physiologist and share a plan, with your consent.
Which blood tests matter for recovery?
Your doctor chooses, but iron studies, vitamin D, a full blood count and inflammation markers are common starting points.
I'm a tested athlete. Is that OK?
Yes. Tell us, and your doctor will check anti-doping status before anything is recommended.
Guides for recovery and performance
Why the same injury keeps coming back
Recurring injuries are rarely bad luck. Training load, recovery and sometimes your bloods all play a part.
Sleep: the recovery tool most of us skip
Training, mood, appetite and blood sugar all improve with better sleep. Here's where to start.
Iron: a common, fixable cause of tiredness
Low iron is especially common in women, endurance athletes and people who eat little red meat.
