Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

The Leptin Blood Test measures a crucial hormone that acts as your body's internal fuel gauge, telling your brain when you've had enough to eat and should stop feeling hungry. Produced mainly by your fat cells, leptin is like a messenger that travels to your brain to report on your body's energy stores – when you have plenty of fuel stored up, leptin levels rise to suppress your appetite and boost your metabolism, helping maintain a healthy weight naturally.

This test is particularly valuable if you're struggling with unexplained weight gain, constant hunger despite eating well, or difficulty losing weight even with proper diet and exercise. Abnormal leptin levels can reveal issues like leptin resistance, where your brain essentially becomes "deaf" to leptin's "stop eating" signals, leading to persistent hunger and weight gain even when your body has adequate energy stores. By understanding your leptin levels, you and your healthcare provider can identify potential hormonal roadblocks to healthy weight management and develop more targeted strategies to optimize your metabolism and appetite control.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with weight management issues, appetite disorders, metabolic dysfunction, or anyone needing comprehensive appetite and metabolic assessment.

Questions

  • Leptin is the 'satiety hormone' produced by fat cells that signals the brain when you have enough energy stored, helping regulate appetite, metabolism, and body weight.
  • Leptin resistance occurs when the brain doesn't respond properly to leptin signals, leading to persistent hunger and difficulty losing weight despite adequate leptin levels.
  • High leptin often indicates leptin resistance, where the body produces more leptin to try to overcome the brain's reduced sensitivity to the hormone.
  • Low leptin may indicate insufficient fat stores, extreme calorie restriction, or rare leptin deficiency, potentially leading to increased appetite and metabolic changes.
  • Treatment may include dietary changes, exercise, sleep optimization, stress management, and sometimes medications to improve leptin sensitivity and metabolic function.
  • Yes, leptin testing can identify hormonal factors affecting weight management and guide personalized strategies to improve appetite control and metabolic function.

How to prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours required. Take sample before 10am. Avoid training 24-48 hours prior to test. Drink 1-2 glasses of water upon waking. Inform healthcare provider of all medications affecting appetite or metabolism.

After the test

Address abnormal leptin through comprehensive metabolic evaluation, personalized weight management strategies, dietary modifications, exercise programs, and monitoring. Work with endocrinologists or weight management specialists.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show leptin levels compared to normal ranges for gender and body composition. Abnormal levels may indicate leptin resistance, metabolic dysfunction, or appetite regulation disorders requiring specialized treatment.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.
