Weight Gain
Checking health From the Inside
Losing weight can be a frustrating and neverending journey. Despite your best efforts with diet and exercise, progress may feel slow—or worse, it might even seem like you’re gaining weight instead of losing it.
In some cases, weight gain or difficulty shedding pounds is the result of an imbalance between the calories you consume and the energy you burn. However, it’s important to know that certain medical conditions can also play a role. Some health issues may directly contribute to weight gain, while others—like abdominal bloating or fluid retention—can create the appearance of weight gain without actual fat accumulation.
If you’re finding it especially difficult to manage your weight, it may be worth exploring whether an underlying medical condition is affecting your progress
Understand What's Behind Weight Gain From the Inside Out
Weight gain isn’t always about calories in and calories out.
Hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction can all play a role – and sometimes, the answers are hiding in your blood.
Our comprehensive blood testing panels are designed to identify the root causes of unexplained or stubborn weight gain. By analyzing key biomarkers, we can help you gain clarity, take control, and make real progress on your health journey
.
Why Blood testing for Weight Gain?
If you’ve been gaining weight despite healthy habits – or struggling to lose it no matter what you try – it might be time to look deeper. Blood biomarkers can reveal imbalances that contribute to weight changes, such as:
Hormonal imbalances
Chronic inflammation
Blood sugar regulation issues
Lipid profile changes
Nutrient deficiencies
These underlying issues often go undetected in routine check-ups. Our targeted testing can highlight what your body is trying to tell you.
recomended TESTS
For individuals experiencing unexplained weight gain, we recommend a comprehensive set of blood tests to assess potential underlying causes. These include thyroid function to check for hypothyroidism, and hormone panels including cortisol and sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone) to evaluate metabolic and endocrine balance. A fasting glucose and HbA1c test help assess blood sugar regulation, while a lipid profile and liver function tests provide insight into overall metabolic health. Additionally, vitamin D, B12, and folate levels are measured to identify any nutrient deficiencies that could impact weight regulation
A vital assessment designed to evaluate key thyroid hormones that regulate metabolism and overall well-being in women. This test measures Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (FT4), and Free Triiodothyronine (FT3)—crucial indicators of thyroid function
This Advanced Health Blood Test assesses key biomarkers for organs including liver and kidney function, HbA1c for diabetes, bone health, gout, iron levels for energy, Cholesterol profile, Full blood count and thyroid function.
8 Essential Markers for Nutritional insight, including and Iron Profile vitamins D B12 Aand folate, with magnesium to help view energy levels, immune function and bone strength.
Checking your Health Biomarkers with a blood test is essential to see key areas of health, hormones and nutrition inside you body,
Key Biomarkers for Weight Gain
Here are some of the biomarkers we recommend testing if weight gain is a concern:
Thyroid Function (TSH, FT3, FT4)
Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism. Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) can slow your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight.
Fasting Glucose
High insulin levels can signal insulin resistance – a key driver of weight gain, especially around the midsection.
HbA1c
Provides a 3-month snapshot of blood sugar control. Elevated levels may point to prediabetes or metabolic dysfunction.
Cortisol (Stress Hormone)
Chronic stress can lead to high cortisol, which is linked to increased appetite, cravings, and belly fat.
Sex Hormones (Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone)
Imbalances in these hormones can affect fat storage, muscle mass, and energy levels.
Lipid Panel (Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, Triglycerides)
Poor lipid profiles are often associated with metabolic syndrome and weight-related risk factors.
CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
An inflammatory marker. Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to weight gain and metabolic diseases.
