Consider the following tests and markers:
- Full Thyroid Panel. A complex relationship exists between your thyroid, metabolism, and weight.
- Cortisol, Testosterone, and Estrogen (Saliva or Urine Hormones Test). High levels of stress can trigger your body to store additional belly fat while an imbalance can impact your ability to lose and maintain your weight.
- Diabetes Panel (Insulin). When insulin levels are chronically high and body becomes resistant to insulin, fat storage can be further increased.
- Inflammation, anemia, and micronutrients like vitamin D are all important weight loss markers.
- Inflammation Panel (hs-CRP and homocysteine)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel + Complete Blood Count
- Micronutrients (Vitamin B5, Vitamin D, Inositol, Chromium, Carnitine)
