How can tracking biomarkers help you lose & maintain weight?
Lose and Maintain Weight
More than two-thirds of American adults are obese or overweight.[1] Losing and maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging in a fast-paced lifestyle. Tracking related biomarkers can paint a picture of your unique metabolic health and give you clues on how to personalize your weight loss journey to get healthier quicker and more easily.
Why test with Dr. Miltie, Powered by SiPhox Health, instead of going to the doctor?
Although some of these markers may have been tested at your last annual physical, testing with an at-home test kit will give you a more holistic view of all the crucial markers for healthy weight management. Testing regularly, at your own pace, will help you see how your biomarkers change as you implement healthy changes. You can also connect your wearable to see how your sleep, activity levels, and heart efficiency affect your weight.
Healthy Weight Loss in a Fast-Paced Lifestyle
Only 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy.[2] That is largely attributed to our busy and stressful lives with poor nutrition and lack of sleep and movement. On the other hand, every billboard, magazine cover, and social media post tries to advertise some different fad weight loss method. In order to become sustainably healthy and lean, getting to know and listen to your body is essential.
Which biomarkers are closely connected to weight loss?
Studies have found that higher body fat percentage is associated with lower blood levels of Vitamin D. [3] Women with adequate Vitamin D levels have lost 7 pounds more than those on the same weight loss regime with non-adequate levels [4], and women who weren’t actively losing weight still lost body fat with simply supplementing Vitamin D [5]. This may be due to its effects on suppressing the formation of new fat cells and storing existing fat cells. [6], [7]
When your thyroid doesn’t make enough hormones, it slows your metabolism. This means your body burns fewer calories, often leading to weight gain. If your TSH levels are on the higher side of normal or elevated, it’s closely linked to obesity and can predict weight gain.[8]
Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas that controls blood glucose levels. However, when the body develops insulin resistance, the pancreas compensates by producing more insulin. Elevated insulin levels can negatively impact your metabolic health and create challenges in weight loss while making you more likely to gain weight.[9]
HbA1C provides an average of your blood sugar for the past three months. It is one of the most useful ways to monitor the body’s glucose control. Poor glucose regulation is closely linked to weight gain [10]. There is a proven linear relationship between HbA1c reduction and weight loss. [11]

A FEW DROPS OF BLOOD
Is a few drops of blood really enough?
That’s right! A few drops of blood is all we need to test 17 biomarkers. Sounds too good to be true? Far from it…
Our sample collection card, the ADX1001, is an alternative collection method, similar to an SST tube. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood.
Are results accurate? Yes! We process samples in a 3rd party CLIA-certified lab. The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.
SELF SAMPLE-COLLECTION
Can I really collect my own sample?
Each kit contains a sample collection card, three adjustable lancets, band-aids, sterile gauze, an alcohol pad, and instructions.
Drawing your blood sounds scary at first. Especially if it’s your first time doing it. We’ve taken the time to make the instructions as easy to follow as possible.
Not only that, every customer can schedule a live one-on-one session with our certified phlebotomist for FREE (a person trained in collecting blood samples).
PERSONALIZED REPORTS
Ok, my results are in. What now?
This is the best part! After processing your sample, we create a complete report for each of your 17 biomarkers.
You can then access your reports from your personal reports dashboard. Each report comes with an easy-to-understand graph and personalized insights you can use to improve each biomarker.
The dashboard lets you connect your favorite wearables to make your reports even more insightful. Improved sleep and activity scores are highly correlated with improved hormonal balance and lower inflammation in our user base.
