Weight Management Test

Struggling with weight gain or finding it difficult to lose weight despite your best efforts? It’s not always about willpower - hormones, stress, nutrient levels, and organ function can all play a role in how your body stores and burns fat. The Weight Management Test is designed to uncover the hidden factors that could be making weight loss harder than it should be. By looking at key areas like metabolism, thyroid function, blood sugar control, liver health, and stress response, this test gives you the insights you need to approach weight with clarity - and a personalised plan that works for your body.

Essential information about your test

What's in the test

What we measure:

  • Bilirubin - Bilirubin is a substance your body makes when it breaks down old red blood cells. It's processed by your liver and eventually leaves your body through urine and stool. If bilirubin levels build up, it can be a sign your liver isn’t clearing it properly, something that may cause yellowing of the skin or eyes. It’s also the reason bruises can look yellow as they heal.
  • ALP - Alkaline Phosphatase is an enzyme found in several parts of the body, including the liver, bones, and bile ducts. In liver health, it helps move substances through the bile ducts.
  • ALT - Alanine Aminotransferase is an enzyme mostly found in liver cells. When the liver is damaged or inflamed from things like fatty liver, hepatitis, or alcohol use ALT can leak into the bloodstream. That’s why it’s a key marker for spotting liver cell injury. Regular testing can help you catch liver stress early, even if you’re not feeling any symptoms.
  • AST - AST is an enzyme found in the liver but also in the heart, muscles, and other tissues. While it’s not as liver specific as ALT, it’s still an important part of assessing liver health. When liver cells are damaged, AST can rise, and when measured alongside other enzymes, it helps build a clearer picture of what might be affecting your liver.
  • GGT - GGT is a liver enzyme that plays a role in processing toxins and moving substances through the liver and bile ducts. It’s especially sensitive to alcohol use and certain medications.
  • Total Protein - Total protein gives an overall picture of the protein levels in your blood, made up mainly of two types - albumin and globulin. These proteins do all sorts of essential jobs: from carrying nutrients around your body to supporting your immune system. If your total protein levels are too high or too low, it could be a sign that something’s off with your nutrition, liver, or kidneys.
  • Albumin - Albumin is a protein made by your liver that helps keep everything in balance. It holds fluid inside your blood vessels, so it doesn’t leak into other parts of your body, and it also acts like a transport system - carrying things like vitamins, hormones, and even medications through your bloodstream. Healthy albumin levels are a good sign that your liver is working well and that your body is getting the nutrition/hormones it needs to heal, grow, and stay energised
  • Globulin - Globulins are a group of proteins in your blood that help with some of your body’s most important jobs. They support your immune system by fighting off infections, help move nutrients like iron around, and even play a role in keeping your blood healthy. Some globulins act as antibodies - your body’s natural defence system. Checking globulin levels can give insight into how well your immune system and liver are doing.
  • Creatinine - Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles during everyday activity. It's released into the bloodstream and filtered out by the kidneys, making it a reliable indicator of how well your kidneys are functioning. Monitoring creatinine provides important insight into your body’s ability to clear waste effectively.
  • Urea - Urea is formed when your body processes protein, with the liver breaking it down into this waste product. It’s then carried through the bloodstream to the kidneys, which remove it and pass it out in urine. Checking urea levels in the blood can offer useful clues about how well your kidneys are clearing waste and how efficiently your liver is handling protein metabolism. However, because your body can often compensate with just one healthy kidney, results may appear normal even if some kidney function is impaired.
  • eGFR - Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a key measure of how efficiently your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood. It reflects the function of tiny filtering units in the kidneys called glomeruli. When these filters aren’t working properly, waste can build up in the body.
  • Thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) – to see if your thyroid is slowing things down.
  • HbA1c - HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) forms when glucose (sugar) in your blood attaches to haemoglobin in red blood cells. Because red blood cells live for about 3 months, measuring HbA1c gives an average of your blood sugar levels over that period. The higher your blood sugar, the more HbA1c you’ll have - making it a reliable marker for identifying long-term blood sugar control and diabetes risk.
  • Ferritin - Ferritin is the protein your body uses to store iron for future use. While iron is typically used to make haemoglobin - which carries oxygen in your blood - any extra is tucked away in ferritin, ready to be released when needed. Checking your ferritin levels provides a clear picture of your body’s iron reserves. It’s a valuable marker for understanding your overall iron status and energy levels.
  • Cortisol - Cortisol is a key hormone released by your adrenal glands, often referred to as your body’s “stress hormone.” While it’s well known for helping you respond to stress, cortisol also plays a crucial role in keeping your body functioning day to day - from managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels to supporting your immune system. Balanced cortisol levels are essential for energy, resilience, and overall wellbeing. When levels are too high or too low, it can impact everything from mood and metabolism to sleep and immunity.
