Weight Loss Test

Hormone imbalances can result in weight problems that are difficult to resolve. This test takes a look at the balance between estrogen and progesterone, two key hormones in regulating metabolism and weight gain. An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone levels can cause a condition called “estrogen dominance,” which is known to cause weight gain. Estrogen dominance causes insulin resistance and increases food cravings and inappropriate eating behaviors. Testosterone impacts metabolism, most notably blood sugar control, the ability to put on muscle, and fat regulation. This makes it essential to measure HbA1c and androgen levels throughout our life. As we age, our levels of testosterone and DHEA levels decline. This is why it is difficult for men and women at or beyond middle age to lose weight.
