Weight Loss Testing
Why These Tests Are Useful for Weight Loss:
These labs collectively provide a comprehensive understanding of your metabolic health, hormonal balance, and potential obstacles to weight loss. They can help identify:
​
-
Medical conditions (e.g., thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, or anemia).
-
Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., low magnesium).
-
Metabolic roadblocks (e.g., poor glucose control or organ dysfunction).

Price: $119
Service Include:
Weight loss lab testing involving the following panels is designed to identify underlying medical conditions or imbalances that may be affecting weight management. Here's how each test relates to weight loss:
​
1. Thyroid Panel
-
Purpose: Evaluates thyroid function, including TSH, T3, and T4 levels.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to weight gain, fatigue, and a slower metabolism.
-
An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) may cause weight loss and difficulty maintaining weight.
-
-
Identifies whether thyroid dysfunction is contributing to weight challenges.
​
2. Lipid Panel
-
Purpose: Measures cholesterol (total, LDL, HDL) and triglycerides.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
High cholesterol or triglycerides can indicate metabolic issues and cardiovascular risks.
-
Weight loss can often improve lipid levels, so this test helps monitor progress.
-
​
3. Hemoglobin A1c
-
Purpose: Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
Helps diagnose diabetes or prediabetes, which are often linked to weight gain or difficulty losing weight.
-
Stable blood sugar is key to effective weight management.
-
​
4. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
-
Purpose: Evaluates liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and glucose levels.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
Identifies metabolic or organ issues that might impact weight loss (e.g., impaired liver function affecting fat metabolism).
-
Ensures your body is healthy enough to undergo dietary or exercise changes.
-
​
5. CBC with Differential and Platelets
-
Purpose: Assesses red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
Screens for underlying conditions like anemia or infections, which can affect energy levels and physical activity.
-
Ensures your body is in optimal condition for a weight loss program.
-
​
6. Magnesium RBC
-
Purpose: Measures magnesium levels in red blood cells, which is more accurate than serum magnesium tests.
-
Relevance to Weight Loss:
-
Magnesium plays a role in energy production, glucose metabolism, and insulin sensitivity.
-
Low magnesium levels can impair weight loss efforts and increase risk of diabetes or fatigue.
