Description
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight involves more than diet and exercise alone.
Factors such as blood sugar control, thyroid function, nutritional status and overall metabolic health can all influence energy levels, wellbeing and the success of long-term lifestyle changes.
The Advanced Weight Loss & Metabolism Check is our most comprehensive weight management blood test, providing a detailed assessment of the key health markers that may influence your overall health during a weight loss journey.
This profile combines metabolic health screening with thyroid testing, vitamin analysis, iron studies and a full blood count to provide a broader picture of your health than standard weight loss blood tests.
Why Choose the Advanced Weight Loss & Metabolism Check?
Many weight management blood tests focus only on cholesterol and blood sugar.
This advanced profile goes further by assessing nutritional status, thyroid health and other important biomarkers that may affect energy levels, wellbeing and overall health.
It is particularly useful for individuals who want a detailed health baseline before making significant lifestyle changes or starting weight management treatments.
What Does This Test Assess?
Blood Sugar Control
Blood sugar regulation plays a key role in metabolic health.
This profile includes:
- HbA1c
HbA1c measures your average blood glucose levels over the previous 2–3 months and can help identify:
- Prediabetes
- Type 2 diabetes risk
- Long-term blood sugar control issues
Thyroid Function
The thyroid gland regulates metabolism and energy production.
This profile includes:
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Free T4
An underactive thyroid may contribute to symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Weight gain
- Low energy
- Reduced motivation
Assessing thyroid function is particularly important when investigating unexplained weight changes.
Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Health
Weight management and cardiovascular health are closely linked.
This profile measures:
- Total Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol
- HDL Cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- Cholesterol Ratios
These biomarkers help assess cardiovascular risk and overall metabolic health.
Iron Status
Iron deficiency can contribute to fatigue and reduced exercise capacity.
This profile assesses:
- Iron
- Transferrin Saturation
- Iron Binding Capacity Markers
These tests help evaluate iron availability and iron stores.
Vitamin Health
Healthy vitamin levels support energy production, wellbeing and overall health.
This profile includes:
- Vitamin D
- Vitamin B12
Low levels may contribute to:
- Fatigue
- Reduced wellbeing
- Poor concentration
- Reduced physical performance
Full Blood Count
A full blood count assesses:
- Red blood cells
- White blood cells
- Platelets
- Haemoglobin
These markers help identify anaemia and provide a broader assessment of overall health.
Liver Health
The liver plays a vital role in metabolism and nutrient processing.
This profile includes:
- ALT
- AST
- GGT
- Bilirubin
- Albumin
- Total Protein
These tests provide an assessment of liver function and general metabolic health.
Kidney Function
Healthy kidney function supports fluid balance and waste removal.
This profile measures:
- Creatinine
- eGFR
- Urea
These markers help evaluate kidney performance and overall health.
Pancreatic Health
The profile includes:
- Amylase
- Lipase
These enzymes provide additional information about pancreatic function and digestive health.
