Metabolic

HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

HbA1c monitoring is increasingly important with age as diabetes risk rises. Regular testing supports early intervention and helps maintain metabolic health in later years.

Learn more
Metabolic

Glucose (Fasting)

Fasting glucose regulation can change with age. Regular monitoring supports diabetes prevention and metabolic stability for healthy ageing.

Metabolic

Insulin (Fasting)

Insulin sensitivity naturally decreases with age. Monitoring fasting insulin supports early intervention and metabolic health maintenance in later years.

Liver

Amylase

Amylase monitoring is important for seniors, as pancreatic function may change with age. Regular testing helps detect digestive health changes early.

Learn more
Liver

Lipase

Lipase monitoring is important for older adults, as pancreatic enzyme production may decrease with age, potentially affecting fat digestion and nutrient absorption. Regular testing helps identify age-related changes in pancreatic function early.

Learn more
Liver

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase)

An ALT blood test measures alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme that sits mainly in the liver. If it ends up in the blood, liver cells have been damaged. In men the limit is 45 u/l, in women 34 u/l. For anyone losing weight this is one of the most useful values on the report. Fatty liver is the most common cause of a mildly raised number. And it is exactly the value that comes down as you lose weight.

Cardiovascular

LDL Cholesterol

LDL cholesterol is the cholesterol inside the particles that can build up in your artery wall. If you lose weight, that value eventually falls, but almost never first and almost never in a straight line. That surprises many people. In the first weeks of a programme your LDL can even come out higher than at the start, while your triglycerides have already dropped sharply. Nothing has gone wrong: you are measuring a body mid-change, not the end result. This page shows what moves in which phase, when to re-measure to see anything meaningful, and why your result belongs next to your own starting value rather than next to the limit printed on the page.

Cardiovascular

Triglycerides

Triglyceride management is important for cardiovascular health as metabolic efficiency changes with age. Regular monitoring supports heart and metabolic health in later years.

Learn more
Minerals

Ferritin

Your ferritin level shows how much iron you have in store, but during a weight-loss programme it measures something else too. Excess weight involves low-grade inflammation, and ferritin rises in response as an acute-phase protein. Your starting value is therefore often higher than your actual iron store justifies. As you lose weight that inflammation subsides and your ferritin falls with it, even if nothing about your iron changes. That makes a falling value during weight loss usually a good sign. It does mean, though, that a deficiency previously masked only becomes visible now.

Vitamins

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is considered especially important for older adults, as absorption may decline with age. Low levels have been associated with cognitive changes and anaemia. Regular monitoring may help healthcare providers support healthy ageing.
