Weight Biology Kit
Description
Say hello to the freedom of knowing exactly what’s going on with your weight from the inside out.
Since your metabolic health impacts everything—weight, hormones, energy, brain health, everything—unlocking its mysteries can kickstart a whole new chapter in your health journey.
Now you can start building a routine around what will actually make a difference for your unique biology.

Fasting Insulin
This kit is the first and only at-home test that identifies insulin resistance early on and gives you the next steps to get your levels under control.
Fasting Glucose
A fasting glucose test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in blood after an overnight fast. While glucose is the body’s main energy source, too much or too little glucose can cause big issues.
% Hemoglobin A1C
A Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test evaluates average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is used as a screening tool for type 2 diabetes and its precursor, prediabetes.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) signals the thyroid to make two main hormones that are delivered to the body, T3 and T4. Measuring TSH gives us an idea of your thyroid health.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that our body needs, but does not produce. A vitamin B12 deficiency can make you fatigued and can be a sign of inadequate or improper vitamin absorption.
Triglycerides
When fasting triglycerides are elevated, it can often be a sign that the body is having a difficult time processing carbohydrates and maintaining metabolic health.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL is often called "good" cholesterol because it prevents the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Unlike with triglycerides or LDL, you want your HDL number to be high.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL is often called "bad" cholesterol, because it carries cholesterol to the arteries, potentially leading to plaque build-up. High LDL levels put you at risk for heart disease.
HOMA-IR Score
AKA the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance. This validated tool determines your risk for insulin resistance, even before it is evident in more traditional screening measures like HbA1C.
Simply send in your blood sample, and the lab will process your results in 2-5 days!
