Here are 3 blood tests women should consider before starting a fat loss phase, to support both your health AND your results.
1. FASTED BLOOD GLUCOSE
Gives insight into blood sugar regulation, which can influence energy, hunger, cravings and metabolic health.
2. ENDOCRINE HORMONES
Helps assess your hormonal health and may provide context around your cycle, energy, recovery and body composition.
3. THYROID MARKERS
Your thyroid plays an important role in metabolism and energy expenditure, making it valuable to assess before entering a deficit.
Bloodwork isnât a fat loss hack but it can help identify health concerns that may need attention before you push harder with fewer calories and more training.
Your fat loss plan shouldnât come at the expense of your health.
Always discuss appropriate testing and results with your GP or qualified healthcare professional. đ©ž
