Health Assessments That Go Beyond Blood Tests: The Role of Pulse Diagnosis
For many Londoners, a routine check-up ends with the same phrase: “Your blood tests came back normal.”
Yet the fatigue persists. The headaches remain. The digestive discomfort, poor sleep, or anxiety continue to disrupt daily life.
It’s a frustrating cycle: feeling unwell while being told “nothing is wrong.”
This is where George’s expertise in pulse diagnosis provides a breakthrough. By reading the subtle signals in the pulse, he uncovers imbalances long before they appear in bloodwork — giving patients clarity, answers, and a path forward.
Why Blood Tests Don’t Always Tell the Full Story
Blood tests are powerful tools, but they measure markers in the blood at one moment in time. If your values fall within the reference range, you’re often told everything is “fine.”
However, many conditions don’t show up until they’re advanced:
Hormonal shifts that cause mood swings or cycle irregularities.
Early digestive inflammation that hasn’t yet changed lab markers.
Stress-driven imbalances that affect sleep and energy but evade blood results.
This means many people live for years with symptoms that modern tests can’t yet explain.
How Pulse Diagnosis Goes Deeper
Pulse diagnosis, a cornerstone of Chinese medicine, examines a variety of qualities at the wrist. George has refined this method to a level recognised as world-leading, detecting real-time functional, structural and emotional imbalances that lab tests miss.
Through pulse assessment, George can identify:
Early signs of digestive weakness or leaky gut.
Stress patterns affecting the Liver and Heart systems.
Subtle immune overactivation before autoimmune markers appear.
Circulatory issues that later contribute to blood pressure or cardiovascular risk.
Unlike blood tests, which provide snapshots, pulse diagnosis captures a dynamic picture of how the body is functioning holistically in real time. Blood tests and other diagnostic technology are unable to scan through the body and discern effectively how diet, environment, culture, exercise, rest and emotion are impacting on your health. Pulse diagnosis - the skilled use of fingers on the pulse in your wrist - offers insights nothing else can.
Why This Matters for Patients
Relying on blood tests alone can delay treatment until dysfunction becomes disease. Pulse diagnosis offers:
Early detection of imbalances before damage sets in.
Personalised insights into why symptoms persist.
A non-invasive, immediate assessment during consultation.
A bridge between symptom and solution for frustrated patients.
It doesn’t replace conventional testing but complements it - giving a fuller, richer picture of health.
A London professional in her 30s came to George exhausted by years of fatigue and brain fog. Repeated blood tests showed nothing abnormal, leaving her abandoned by conventional care.
In just one session, pulse diagnosis revealed chronic inflammation in the small intestine from intolerance to wheat and baker’s yeast, combined with excessive stress affecting her heart and liver. Acupuncture treatments, paired with tailored nutrition advice, rebuilt her energy and focus.
Within six weeks, she reported a level of clarity and vitality she hadn’t felt in years — achieved not through more tests, but through a diagnostic approach that listened to her body differently.
If your blood tests say “normal” but you still feel unwell, you’re not alone. Many hidden imbalances never show up until much later.
George’s pulse diagnosis bridges that gap, providing early detection and a personalised pathway to healing through acupuncture and holistic care.
Your health story isn’t written only in your blood — it’s written in your pulse.
