Worried about your weight?

Blood tests for weight loss and weight gain

Our range of blood tests will help identify possible causes for weight gain, weight loss, or why you may be unable to shift excess weight if you are trying to.

It can be really frustrating if you are exercising or dieting but not losing weight. This can be due to lots of factors, such as thyroid dysfunction or slow metabolism, hormone imbalance or vitamin deficiency.

You may also be experiencing unexplained weight loss or gain, which can be a result of thyroid dysfunction, Type 2 Diabetes, lack of sleep or insomnia, or depression caused by hormonal changes or external factors.

These possible causes can be checked with simple blood tests to identify your problem and provide recommendations on how to reduce your symptoms.

We recommend...

Thyroid Function blood test

A thyroid disorder or disease, often known as having a slow or fast metabolism, is a common cause of issues with managing weight loss or gain.

Testing Accuracy: PSA Test vs. EpiSwitch® PSE

Testing with a standard PSA Prostate Test results in 55% accuracy in detecting prostate cancer. Testing with EpiSwitch® PSE improves your results to 94% accuracy in detection.
Prostate cancer is a concern for many men. Its risk increases with many factors including: age, family history, genetics and ethnicity. The most common prostate cancer test measures your PSA (prostate specific antigen), a protein produced by your prostate, and by prostate cancer cells which increases as you get older and your prostate increases. However, many men who take the PSA test alone and have results of a raised PSA do not always have cancer. By taking the EpiSwitch® PSE Advanced Blood Test alongside or following a private PSA Test, you can make a better-informed decision about your next steps.

Who should take the EpiSwitch® PSE?

  • Any man who is being screened for, or is concerned about, prostate cancer.
  • You may have already been told you have a high or rising PSA level.
  • You may have trouble urinating, or have other prostate associated symptoms.
  • You may want peace of mind before starting on a prostate biopsy or treatment plan.
 

How does the EpiSwitch® PSE Test work?

The EpiSwitch PSE test uses a small sample of blood to measure 5 vital epigenetic changes in your immune cells, and combines these with your PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen PSA Test) score to boost accuracy. A secure report is returned to our doctors within around 5 days after the lab receives your sample, and they will explain the result to you.

What do the results tell you?

Your doctor will receive a personalised EpiSwitch® PSE report informing you if you have a ‘low likelihood’ or ‘high likelihood’ of prostate cancer.
  • A 'low likelihood' PSE result can offer peace of mind and reduce unnecessary biopsies and over-treatment. This result is consistent with the absence of cancer in more than 9 out of 10 men.
  • A 'high likelihood' PSE result can help your doctor immediately refer you to the right next step. This result is consistent with cancer being confirmed in more than 9 out of 10 men.
After receiving your report, our doctors will consider this result along with your history to recommend appropriate next steps.
