Metabolic Health & Weight

Metabolic health is the engine room of longevity. Let's look under the bonnet.

(The longer view)

Where your biology is now. Where you want it to take you.

Your body may be responding differently to a familiar routine. You may want to understand your appetite, a change in weight or what your bloodwork means. Each is worth measuring properly.

Insulin resistance can build quietly for years before glucose looks unusual, which is why we look beyond a single number. We explore appetite, sleep, activity, medical history and changes through midlife, then read your metabolic markers in that context.

What we look at

  • Weight history and body composition
  • Appetite and eating patterns
  • Blood sugar and metabolic health
  • Life-stage and hormonal changes
  • Sleep, stress and activity
  • Medicines that may influence weight

What your assessment involves

Here is what a Metabolic Health & Weight consultation involves.

01
Look beyond a single number

Talk through weight changes, routines and what you have already tried.

02
Review relevant metabolic measures

Consider existing results and whether glucose, lipids, thyroid measures or other checks are relevant.

03
Set your priorities

Discuss an individual approach, including practical changes, clinical options where appropriate and review.

(Is this you?)

You might start here if…

You have noticed a change in weight or appetite

Your usual routine no longer feels right for you

You want to understand your metabolic bloodwork

You track your data, from a glucose monitor to a smart scale, and want a clinician to read it with you

Tick one, or none. Curiosity counts.

(The biomarkers)

The data behind the decisions.

Numbers mean more with context, so your history, symptoms and routines come first. Below are examples of what your practitioner may review for this area, where relevant to you. There is no one-size panel: every test has to earn its place, and you hear why before anything is ordered.
