Weight Biology Kit
Description
Say hello to the freedom of knowing exactly what’s going on with your weight from the inside out.
Since your metabolic health impacts everything—weight, hormones, energy, brain health, everything—unlocking its mysteries can kickstart a whole new chapter in your health journey.
Now you can start building a routine around what will actually make a difference for your unique biology.

Uncover the full picture of your metabolic health and what to do about it
Blood Sugar
Your blood sugar levels are closely tied to energy, hunger signals, and fat storage in your body. When your blood sugar is chronically too high, it can lead to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, which makes it very challenging to lose weight.
Cholesterol
Testing cholesterol gives you an even deeper look into your metabolic health. If you have high triglycerides paired with high LDL (bad cholesterol) and low HDL (good cholesterol), it’s a sign of metabolic dysfunction.
Thyroid
Your thyroid helps your body set its basal metabolic rate (BMR) and plays a role in your body composition—how much fat vs. muscle you hold onto.
B12 Deficiency
Your body needs vitamin B12 to convert food into energy and help you maintain lean muscle mass. A deficiency in B12 can disrupt your thyroid function and energy, making you feel sluggish.

Fasting Insulin
This kit is the first and only at-home test that identifies insulin resistance early on and gives you the next steps to get your levels under control.
Fasting Glucose
A fasting glucose test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, in blood after an overnight fast. While glucose is the body’s main energy source, too much or too little glucose can cause big issues.
% Hemoglobin A1C
A Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) test evaluates average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It is used as a screening tool for type 2 diabetes and its precursor, prediabetes.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) signals the thyroid to make two main hormones that are delivered to the body, T3 and T4. Measuring TSH gives us an idea of your thyroid health.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is an essential nutrient that our body needs, but does not produce. A vitamin B12 deficiency can make you fatigued and can be a sign of inadequate or improper vitamin absorption.
Triglycerides
When fasting triglycerides are elevated, it can often be a sign that the body is having a difficult time processing carbohydrates and maintaining metabolic health.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL is often called "good" cholesterol because it prevents the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Unlike with triglycerides or LDL, you want your HDL number to be high.
LDL Cholesterol
LDL is often called "bad" cholesterol, because it carries cholesterol to the arteries, potentially leading to plaque build-up. High LDL levels put you at risk for heart disease.
HOMA-IR Score
AKA the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance. This validated tool determines your risk for insulin resistance, even before it is evident in more traditional screening measures like HbA1C.
Simply send in your blood sample, and the lab will process your results in 2-5 days!
Day 1
Your kit has arrived! Scan the QR code in your kit to create an account. This is how you’ll log in to view your results later.
Day 2
Collect your sample. Take your sample within 1-2 hours of waking up, before you eat. Seal it up and mail it back to us using the prepaid shipping label.
Day 7
Review your results. Knowledge is power! Access the portal to get your personalized results and analysis.
Day 8
Build a game plan. Depending on how you like to tackle your goals, start thinking about how you’ll use this new information to improve your health.
Day 10
Tweak your supplement stack. One of the easiest ways to start improving your metabolic markers is by optimizing your supplement routine. For example, if you find out you have low B12, you can start supplementing it.
Day 20
Set new habit foundations. Use a guide like the SoWell Way of Eating to figure out the best way of eating for your personal metabolism.
Day 90
Re-test your numbers. After following a new health routine for about 90 days, data can help you figure out if it's working! We’re here when you’re ready to test again.
