Why Am I Struggling to Lose Weight?
Weight management is influenced by much more than simply the number of calories you eat.
Your thyroid function, blood glucose control, hormones, cholesterol, nutritional status and overall metabolic health can all provide important information when assessing your health during a weight-loss journey.
The Weight Loss Blood Test brings together a selection of useful biomarkers to provide a broader picture of what's happening inside your body.
It cannot tell you a single reason why you are struggling to lose weight, but it may identify abnormal results that are worth discussing with your GP or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
What Does the Weight Loss Blood Test Check?
Thyroid Function – TSH & Free T4
Your thyroid produces hormones that play an important role in regulating metabolism and energy.
The test measures Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4, providing useful information about thyroid function.
An underactive thyroid can be associated with symptoms including tiredness and weight gain, although these symptoms can have many different causes.
HbA1c – Average Blood Sugar
HbA1c provides an indication of your average blood glucose levels over approximately the previous 2–3 months.
It is commonly used when screening for and monitoring prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes and provides useful information about longer-term blood sugar control.
Cholesterol & Lipid Profile
The test includes cholesterol and lipid measurements to provide information about your cardiovascular and metabolic health.
This includes Non-HDL Cholesterol alongside the wider lipid screen.
Cortisol
Cortisol is a hormone involved in the body's stress response and has numerous roles within metabolism.
Abnormal cortisol results should be interpreted in the context of your symptoms, medical history and the time at which the sample was collected.
Testosterone
Testosterone has important roles in both men and women, including muscle, bone and metabolic health.
The test measures your testosterone level as part of the wider assessment.
Iron
Iron is essential for normal red blood cell function and oxygen transport.
Low iron levels can be associated with tiredness and reduced exercise capacity, making this a useful marker when looking at your overall health during weight loss.
hsCRP – Inflammation
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, or hsCRP, is a blood marker associated with inflammation.
The result provides additional information that can be considered alongside the other metabolic and cardiovascular markers within the panel.
Starting Weight-Loss Injections?
This blood test may be particularly useful if you are considering, starting or currently using weight-loss medication.
Establishing baseline health information before or during a weight-loss programme can help provide a clearer picture of your metabolic health and gives you results that can be compared with future testing.
Blood testing does not determine whether a particular weight-loss medication is suitable for you. Medication suitability, prescribing and monitoring should be assessed by an appropriately qualified prescriber.
Already Losing Weight?
Blood testing isn't only useful before starting a weight-loss journey.
If you've already made significant changes to your diet, activity levels or body weight, repeat testing can provide useful information about how some of your health markers are changing over time.
You may wish to compare changes in areas such as:
- HbA1c and blood sugar control
- Cholesterol and triglycerides
- Inflammation markers
- Thyroid function
- Iron levels
- Hormone levels
Who Is the Weight Loss Blood Test For?
This test may be suitable if you:
- Are struggling to lose weight
- Have experienced stubborn weight gain
- Are starting a weight-loss programme
- Are considering weight-loss injections
- Are currently using weight-loss injections
- Want to establish baseline health markers
- Have recently lost a significant amount of weight
- Want to monitor changes during your weight-loss journey
- Experience persistent tiredness or low energy
- Have concerns about your thyroid function
- Want to check your longer-term blood sugar
- Want to understand your cholesterol profile
Weight Loss, Tiredness & Low Energy
If you're trying to lose weight but constantly feel tired or lack the energy to exercise, it may be useful to investigate your wider health.
This panel includes markers such as iron, thyroid hormones and HbA1c, which can provide useful information when investigating symptoms such as fatigue.
Persistent or unexplained fatigue should always be discussed with your GP, particularly if it is accompanied by other symptoms.
