About this test

Deep dive into your health

Get in front of any issues with this simple at-home blood test. Find out if your weight is causing high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, or impacting your hormones. Armed with insights and clinical advice, you'll be equipped to address any issues in the right way.

Key insights into your weight

  • Diabetes indicators: Your diet can be linked to your HbA1c levels. Weight loss is known to lower your HbA1c levels, reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • Cholesterol and heart health: Track your cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, for a better picture of your heart health and improvements made as you lose weight.
  • Testosterone levels: Testosterone fluctuations are known to impact weight loss and weight gain in both men and women.

Why should I take a blood test for weight loss?

As you lose weight, various internal health markers adjust. This test gives you a clear insight into these shifts, allowing you to tailor your approach with comprehensive knowledge. This ensures your weight loss isn't just about appearance but about enhancing overall health, reducing the risk of diseases, and potentially increasing longevity.
