About the Weight Management Profile
The weight management profile checks thyroid, sugar, insulin, cortisol and lipids for people with unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight. It looks for hormonal and metabolic contributors, so that diet and exercise advice can be supported by the right treatment.
Symptoms and situations where this test helps
- Weight gain despite diet and exercise
- Difficulty losing weight, especially around the waist
- Tiredness, dark skin patches or irregular periods
- Family history of diabetes or thyroid disease
Understanding your results
A high TSH can slow metabolism. High fasting insulin shows insulin resistance. High morning cortisol may suggest a cortisol problem and needs a doctor’s review. High triglycerides and low HDL often accompany excess belly fat.
What your doctor may advise next
Your doctor may advise a structured diet, exercise, treatment of thyroid or insulin resistance and follow-up tests.
