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

Your blood test results will be presented in an easy-to-understand format, with each biomarker thoroughly explained. Any values that deviate from the optimal range will be distinctly highlighted to indicate abnormal levels. Additionally, a clinician will examine your test and provide a comprehensive, free report. This report will not only clarify your results but also offer tailored recommendations for your next steps in managing your health.

This test provides insights into potential medical reasons why you’re struggling to lose weight, but weight can be influenced by numerous factors, including diet, activity levels, and genetics. Clinicians and health coaches can help you pinpoint exactly what’s driving your weight.

Each test is a finger prick test, so you may feel a small scratch when you use the lancet provided with it to take a blood sample. This is only temporary, and any discomfort should subside swiftly afterwards.

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).

The Chol:HDL ratio provides insight into the balance between good and total cholesterol in your blood. This is important because it gives you crucial insights into both your heart health and weight, allowing you to track changes and understand the impact your lifestyle has on your body.

Adequate testosterone levels can help maintain lean muscle mass, boost metabolism, and influence fat storage, hence playing a role in weight management.

The Complete Metabolic 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.
