Male Weight loss Package

Description

Weight Loss Package – Male

Comprehensive Health Screening for Effective Weight Management

Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight involves more than just diet and exercise—it requires a deep understanding of your body’s metabolism, hormone levels, inflammation markers, and organ function. The Weight Loss Package for Men is designed to identify underlying metabolic and hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to weight gain, slow metabolism, fatigue, and difficulty losing fat.

This test is ideal for men who:
✔ Struggle with unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
✔ Experience fatigue, low energy, or mood swings
✔ Want to assess their metabolic rate, insulin resistance, and hormonal health
✔ Have a family history of obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease
✔ Are looking to optimize their diet and exercise plan based on lab results

This comprehensive weight loss panel evaluates multiple health parameters, including blood health, cholesterol, thyroid function, hormones, blood sugar regulation, inflammation levels, liver & kidney function, and nutrient deficiencies.

What This Package Covers

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC) – Evaluating Blood Health & Oxygenation

• Hemoglobin & Red Blood Cell Count – Detects anemia, which can cause fatigue and slow metabolism.
• White Blood Cell Count (WBCs) – Monitors immune function, as chronic infections can contribute to inflammation and weight gain.
• Platelet Count & Volume – Assesses blood clotting and overall circulatory health.

2. Cholesterol & Heart Health Profile – Assessing Cardiovascular Risk

Weight gain, particularly abdominal fat, is a major risk factor for high cholesterol, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. This test measures:

• Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, and Ratios – To evaluate cardiovascular risk and lipid metabolism.
• VLDL Cholesterol & LDL/HDL Ratio – Indicators of arterial plaque buildup and heart disease risk.

3. Thyroid Profile – Key Regulator of Metabolism & Weight Control

Thyroid dysfunction is a common cause of unexplained weight gain, fatigue, and slow metabolism. This test includes:

• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) – Regulates thyroid function.
• Free T3 & Free T4 – Measure active thyroid hormones that control metabolism and energy levels.

4. Hormonal Profile – Evaluating Testosterone & Metabolism

Testosterone plays a crucial role in muscle mass, fat distribution, and energy levels. Low testosterone levels are associated with increased body fat, low energy, and metabolic dysfunction. This test includes:

• Total Testosterone & Free Androgen Index (FAI) – Measures available testosterone levels.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) – Regulates free testosterone availability.

5. Blood Sugar & Insulin Profile – Screening for Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders

Insulin resistance is a key driver of obesity and difficulty losing weight. This test includes:

• HbA1C – Measures average blood sugar levels over 3 months.
• Fasting Insulin – Evaluates insulin sensitivity, a critical factor in weight loss resistance.
• Fasting Glucose – Screens for pre-diabetes and diabetes.

6. Inflammation Profile – Detecting Chronic Inflammation & Weight Gain

Chronic inflammation is a hidden cause of weight gain, insulin resistance, and metabolic disorders. This test measures:

• C-Reactive Protein (CRP) – A marker of systemic inflammation linked to obesity, heart disease, and metabolic dysfunction.

7. Iron Studies – Checking for Fatigue & Energy Deficiencies

Low iron levels can cause fatigue, low energy, and reduced exercise performance, all of which can slow weight loss. This test includes:

• Serum Iron, Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC), and % Transferrin Saturation – Assess iron metabolism and potential iron deficiency anemia.

8. Kidney Profile – Evaluating Hydration & Detoxification

The kidneys play a key role in fluid balance, detoxification, and overall metabolism. This test includes:

• Creatinine & eGFR – Indicators of kidney filtration and detox function.
• Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) & Urea – Measure kidney function and protein metabolism.

9. Liver Profile – Metabolism & Fat Processing

The liver is essential for fat metabolism, detoxification, and energy regulation. Poor liver function can lead to fatty liver disease and metabolic syndrome, making weight loss difficult. This test includes:

• Liver Enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP) – To assess liver function and fat metabolism efficiency.
• Serum Albumin, Globulin, and Bilirubin – Key markers of liver detox function and protein metabolism.

10. Vitamin & Mineral Profile – Checking for Deficiencies Impacting Metabolism

Vitamin and mineral imbalances can lead to slow metabolism, poor energy production, and reduced muscle function. This test includes:

• Vitamin D Total – Deficiency is linked to weight gain, low energy, and metabolic issues.
• Vitamin B12 – Essential for energy metabolism and fat breakdown.

What Happens If Metabolic & Hormonal Issues Are Left Unchecked?

Ignoring underlying metabolic, hormonal, or nutritional imbalances can lead to:
❌ Persistent weight gain and difficulty losing fat
❌ Increased risk of diabetes, insulin resistance, and heart disease
❌ Low testosterone, muscle loss, and decreased energy levels
❌ Chronic inflammation, leading to fatigue and poor immune function
❌ Fatty liver disease and poor detoxification
❌ Mood swings, brain fog, and mental sluggishness

By detecting these hidden factors, this test allows for personalized diet, exercise, and medical interventions to optimize weight loss and overall health.

How to Prepare for the Test

To ensure accurate and reliable results:
✔ Fasting for 8-12 hours is required for glucose, cholesterol, and liver function tests.
✔ Drink plenty of water before the test to stay hydrated.
✔ Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and fatty foods 24 hours before testing, as they can affect lipid and liver enzyme levels.
✔ For testosterone testing, schedule the test in the morning (7-10 AM) when levels are highest.
✔ Refrain from intense exercise or sexual activity for 24 hours before testing, as they may temporarily affect testosterone and insulin levels.
✔ Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements, as some may impact test results.

The Importance of a Weight Loss Panel for Men

The Weight Loss Package – Male is a scientific approach to weight management, helping to uncover hidden metabolic, hormonal, and nutritional factors that may be hindering fat loss and muscle growth.

✔ Identifies root causes of weight gain & slow metabolism
