It comprises a series of interconnected pathways that converts food to building blocks and also for energy use and eliminates the waste. Hormones and Enzymes influence how you metabolize fat, carbs, and protein to produce and store energy, and build tissues such as fat or muscle.  

HbA1c & Fasting Insulin –Chief source of energy for the body which if elevated slows down fat loss and is also a risk for diabetes

Cholesterol & Lipids – An essential fat that serves many vital functions such as energy creation and metabolism.  It is the principal building block of many of our hormones including estrogen, testosterone etc and also plays a vital role in Vit D production. 

Thyroid Function – Overall measure of thyroid stimulation affecting metabolism, energy, weight and temperature control 

Strength & Power

Strength capability is denoted by the amount of force that the muscle can create to counter the external load. Power is the ability to generate as much as force as fast as possible.
