What is the Weight Management Test?
The Weight Management Test is a comprehensive, at-home diagnostic tool designed to uncover hormonal and metabolic factors affecting weight, energy, and overall health. Using a combination of blood spot and saliva collection, this test measures critical biomarkers, including:
- Hormones: Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEAS, and Cortisol (4x saliva collection).
- Metabolic Markers: TSH, Insulin, HbA1c, and Vitamin D (via blood spot).
This test provides insights to help identify imbalances and support tailored wellness plans.

This test is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Weight Challenges: Difficulty losing or maintaining weight despite lifestyle changes.
- Menopause or Andropause: Hormonal shifts that often occur during midlife.

- General Health Concerns: Fatigue, mood swings, or unexplained health issues that could be linked to hormonal imbalances or metabolic dysfunction.
If you’re struggling to achieve your health goals, this test can provide clarity and direction.
