Overweight blood test
Professionally updated: April 29, 2025
If you've tried several diets and programs without losing weight, it's important to recognize that being overweight is not only related to calorie intake. There are other factors that can play a role. For example, if inflammation is present in the body, it can lead to increased levels of cortisol, which can cause weight gain. Blood sugar irregularities, high liver values, metabolic problems and hormonal imbalances can also cause obesity. With this in mind, we offer a specialized obesity blood test package that aims to identify any underlying causes of obesity. These tests can be a step towards starting appropriate treatment or counseling.
