WEIGHT LOSS BLOOD TEST

Q: Why should I take a blood test for weight loss?

As you lose weight, various internal health markers adjust. This test gives you a clear insight into these shifts, allowing you to tailor your approach with comprehensive knowledge. This ensures your weight loss isn&#39;t just about appearance but about enhancing overall health, reducing the risk of diseases, and potentially increasing longevity.

Q: How frequently should I track these markers?

We recommend taking the Weight Loss Blood Test at the onset of your weight loss journey and then monitoring your progress. This will help you to align with your goals and keep you motivated to improve your health.

Q: How long do blood test results take?

You should receive your blood test results three to five working days after you post your blood samples.You’ll get an email notifying you that your results have arrived in your Numan account, so keep an eye on your inbox so you don’t miss them. Additionally, you’ll receive a written review of your results from one of our clinicians, which you can read alongside your results to help you understand them.Once they’re in your account, you can view your results any time you wish. You can also view them in-app and save your results as a PDF to help you keep track of them (and show them to your GP if need be).

Q: If my markers show significant shifts, what’s the next step?

Small changes to your biomarkers are normal and generally nothing to worry about. However, any significant changes in your health markers should prompt a discussion with a healthcare professional. They can provide context, possible explanations, and guidance.

Q: Does weight loss always impact these health markers?

While weight loss often influences these markers, everybody and every body is different. That&#39;s why it’s a good idea to keep track throughout your journey.

Q: Can the test identify any undiagnosed health issues?

The Weight Loss Blood Test can only indicate rather than diagnose health issues. If you’re worried and suspect you might have an underlying health condition, we advise speaking to your regular doctor first. If you get any unexpected or unusual test results, this should also be flagged and discussed in more detail with your doctor.

Q: How is this test different from regular blood tests?

Unlike generic blood tests, this test specifically focuses on biomarkers that are crucial in understanding the internal shifts driven by weight loss. It’s tailor-made to give you insights related to cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, and other vital parameters associated with weight reduction and overall health.

I put off getting a private blood test for 12 months and felt terrible for all of that time. If I’d gone ahead 12 months ago my issues could have been resolved then.

Will

I have been trying through the NHS for 3 years and had no success. Once Numan highlighted what the deficiency was I got my doctor to confirm the results which were indeed accurate.
