Who should take this test?
This test is ideal for:
Individuals struggling with stubborn weight gain or resistance to weight loss.
People starting or currently on a weight loss injection programme.
Anyone experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, slow metabolism, mood changes, or cravings.
Those with a history of metabolic conditions (like insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, or high cholesterol).
Why should I take this weight loss blood test?
Weight loss isn’t just about diet and exercise - your body’s internal chemistry plays a huge role. Hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, poor blood sugar control, and metabolic sluggishness can all make weight loss harder.
Taking this test helps you:
Identify underlying issues that may be hindering your progress.
Customise your weight loss strategy, including medication dosing, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Track improvements as your programme progresses.
Improve your chances of achieving sustainable, long-term results.
What do results tell you?
Your results will reveal:
Whether hormones like cortisol, testosterone, and thyroid hormones are helping or hurting your weight loss efforts.
How well your body manages blood sugar and inflammation — two key factors in metabolic health.
Your lipid profile, showing whether your cholesterol levels are within a healthy range.
If you have potential nutritional deficiencies (like iron) that could be contributing to fatigue and reduced performance.These insights allow you and your healthcare provider to make smarter, more effective decisions around your treatment plan.
Biomarkers explained
1. Cortisol
A key stress hormone. High levels can trigger fat storage, especially around the midsection, and impact sleep and metabolism.
2. HbA1c
Reflects average blood sugar over 2–3 months. Raised levels suggest insulin resistance or diabetes risk — both linked to weight gain.
3. HsCRP
An inflammation marker. Chronic inflammation can slow metabolism and increase fat storage.
4. Iron
Low iron causes fatigue and reduced exercise capacity — making weight loss more difficult.
5. Testosterone
Supports muscle, energy, and fat metabolism. Low levels can lead to fat gain and low motivation.
6. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Regulates thyroid function. Imbalances can affect metabolism and energy.
7. Free T4 (Thyroxine-Free)
The active thyroid hormone. Low levels may signal a sluggish metabolism.
8. Lipid Screen
Measures cholesterol and triglycerides. Imbalances may point to poor fat processing and higher metabolic risk.
9. Non-HDL Cholesterol
Captures all “bad” cholesterol types. High levels are linked to heart and metabolic disease.
