Leptin LabCorp

Testing your leptin levels can help understand why you're experiencing symptoms like weight gain and increased appetite, as leptin is a hormone that regulates energy balance and signals fullness. This test from Defy Medical can provide insights into potential hormonal imbalances contributing to your symptoms. Identifying issues with leptin can guide treatment to address the underlying causes of your fatigue, mood changes, headaches, and sleep difficulties.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Difficulty sleeping: Leptin levels can influence sleep patterns, and testing can help identify if hormonal imbalances are contributing to your sleep issues.
• Fatigue: Hormonal imbalances, including those related to leptin, can cause fatigue, and this test can help determine if leptin is a contributing factor.
• Headaches: Hormonal fluctuations, potentially linked to leptin levels, can sometimes trigger headaches, and testing can help investigate this possibility.
• Increased appetite: Leptin signals fullness to the brain, so abnormal levels can lead to increased appetite, which this test can help assess.
• Mood changes: Leptin plays a role in regulating mood, and testing can help determine if hormonal imbalances related to leptin are contributing to your mood changes.
• Weight gain: Leptin helps regulate energy balance and fat storage, so abnormal levels can contribute to weight gain, which this test can help identify.
