“On Diet” Profile

On a diet, but there is no effectiveness? Did you know that both excess and restriction of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and trace elements negatively affect your health. Therefore, especially for you, we have developed a new profile On a diet, which includes the following 24 tests:

Hormones:

  • Leptin is a hormone of "satiety", produced by fatty tissue and transmits a satiety signal to the brain. If this mechanism does not work, then a person eats, leptin increases, adipose tissue increases and as a result, the weight loss process slows down or stands in one place, leptin resistance develops, which needs to be corrected. It is important to understand that leptin is involved in the formation of female sex hormones, and if leptin is below norm, then there is a chance of infertility
  • TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) - an indicator of thyroid gland function, with its decrease (hypothyroidism), diets may be ineffective, since a deficiency of thyroid gland hormones provokes a set of fat mass, due to a slowdown in metabolism 
  • Prolactin is a pituitary hormone, and when it increases, appetite increases, which negatively affects adherence to any diet.Prolactin also affects weight by suppressing the work of the ovaries, which produce estradiol and testosterone, which are responsible for active metabolic processes, regulation of the ratio of insulin and glucose. In men, high prolactin causes gynecomastia and decreased libido. Both sexes have infertility.
  • Estradiol is one of the main female sex hormones, an imbalance of which can lead to a set of extra pounds. In men, excess weight can lead to a decrease in the formation of testosterone in the body and its conversion to estradiol, which negatively affects men's health.
  • Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, which is also important for women, as it has a powerful “fat burning” effect
  • Cortisol. Constant high cortisol causes the destruction of muscle mass and an increase in sugar, which increases the formation of adipose tissue


Vitamins and trace elements:

Vitamin D (25-OH). The lack prevents the absorption of calcium leads to bone fragility, decrease in immunity, weight gain, due to the effect on sex hormones

Vitamin B12. The main source is animal food, participates in the work of every cell in the body, is important for hematopoiesis and the functioning of the nervous system

Ferritin is an indicator of iron reserves. Unfortunately, if the diet restricts animal food and consists of plant foods, and plant foods contain little iron, the deficiency can lead to a decrease in hemoglobin in the blood and the development of anemia

Fat metabolism:

Triglycerides are an indicator of fat metabolism

Total and direct Bilirubin, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Gammaglutamyltransferase (GGTF) are indicators reflecting the state of the liver, which are important to monitor with diets, especially keto, with an increased fat content, both vegetable and animal

Cholesterol. A lack of cholesterol leads to a decrease in the production of sex hormones and even infertility, the body's failure to absorb vitamin D and calcium

Protein metabolism:

Total protein. An important indicator to make sure that you get enough protein from plant foods if you stick to veganism

Albumin- decreases with prolonged starvation, fatty liver hepatosis, kidney problems, externally it can manifest itself in “outflows from hunger”

Creatinine is the main indicator of kidney function. It is important for monitoring the condition against the background of interval fasting, keto diet and other dietary restrictions

Uric acid (in the blood)- if there is too much animal protein in the diet, this can lead to the accumulation of uric acid salts and impaired excretory function of the kidneys. As a result, gout and kidney stone disease

Carbohydrate metabolism:

Insulin regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates in the body, has an effect on fat metabolism: if a lot of glucose enters the body, then the liver begins to store in the form of glycogen or in the form of fatty acids. An elevated level, along with other clinical manifestations, indicates insulin resistance.

Glycosylated hemoglobin - reflects peak glucose values over the last 3 months

CBC. Screening test of the general condition of the body

 

Since there are hormones in the profile, women are required to take the profile on day 3-7 of their cycle.



The price of a profile is always cheaper than doing all the tests separately.
