The Obesity Health Check-Up – Gold Package
Concierge-level metabolic diagnostics. Comprehensive clinical clarity.
Weight management is rarely just about diet and exercise. It is a complex interaction between metabolic function, hormonal balance, inflammation, and organ health. The Obesity Health Check-Up – Gold Package at London Private Ultrasound is designed to investigate the physiological drivers of central weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic resistance.
Obesity Health Check-Up – Gold Package
A private metabolic diagnostic package combining consultant ultrasound, an advanced blood profile, and GP-led follow-up to identify hidden drivers of weight gain and metabolic dysfunction.
Concierge-Level Metabolic Diagnostics with Actionable Medical Insight
By combining the clinical rigor of NHS primary care with advanced imaging from our ultrasound consultants and vascular scientists, this package provides a structured assessment of internal health rather than a superficial weight-focused overview.
The objective is to uncover silent metabolic dysfunction, assess organ health, and give you a clear, medically informed plan for next steps. This includes investigation of fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, renal function, and stress-related hormonal imbalance.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Your Metabolism
Designed this protocol to go beyond BMI-based assessment and focus instead on insulin resistance, silent inflammation, hormonal imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, and metabolic organ stress.
Perform advanced ultrasound assessment of abdominal organ structure, with a specific focus on visceral fat consequences and hepatic steatosis. They also provide expert imaging verification of the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, and spleen where visible.
The Concierge Pathway: From Diagnostics to Strategy
Same-Day Imaging & Blood Profiling
Your appointment begins with a consultant abdominal ultrasound together with your blood tests. During the scan, your imaging findings are explained live while you are still in the room, and an official written radiology-style report is provided within 24 hours.
The Medical Strategy Session
Once your 30+ biomarker blood profile is available within 1–2 working days, you will have a dedicated consultation with Dr. Babak Soleimanpour on the first Friday after testing. This can be arranged in person or virtually and focuses on reviewing fatigue, central obesity, metabolic resistance, and hormonal contributors.
Your Action Plan & Referrals
You leave with a clear understanding of your metabolic health. If results indicate fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, adrenal imbalance, or insulin resistance, clinical guidance and onward referral pathways can be arranged, including support from endocrinology or specialist nutrition services when appropriate.
The Diagnostic Protocol
Our dual-modality pathway combines physical imaging with extensive biochemical profiling to help uncover the underlying causes of central weight gain and metabolic dysfunction.
Phase I: Consultant Abdominal Ultrasound
- Fatty Liver (Hepatic Steatosis): Assessment of liver size, fat accumulation, and overall liver health.
- Gallbladder: Review for sludge, stones, or blockages often associated with metabolic imbalance or rapid weight fluctuation.
- Renal System: Detailed assessment of kidney size, cysts, and structural obstruction.
- Pancreas & Spleen: Structural evaluation where visible to help rule out enlargement or inflammatory change.
Phase II: 30+ Biomarker Blood Profile
- Metabolic & Lipid Control: Glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, calculated LDL, and non-HDL.
- Liver Function: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, globulin, and total protein.
- Kidney Function: Urea, creatinine, eGFR, and electrolytes.
- Haematology & Inflammation: Full blood count and ESR.
- Bone & Iron Status: Calcium, phosphate, uric acid, magnesium, iron, TIBC, and ferritin.
- Thyroid Function: Free T4 and TSH to investigate whether an underactive thyroid is contributing to weight gain.
Phase III: Adrenal & Stress Assessment
A focused hormonal assessment designed to explore whether stress-related endocrine disruption is contributing to central adiposity, fatigue, and metabolic imbalance.
CORT – Morning Cortisol Blood Test
Measures morning cortisol to assess adrenal dysfunction, including concern for cortisol-driven weight gain patterns. Persistently abnormal cortisol levels may be associated with central obesity, fatigue, and difficulty losing weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this package for?
This package is suitable for people concerned about central obesity, fatigue, suspected fatty liver, thyroid dysfunction, metabolic resistance, or unexplained difficulty losing weight.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can self-book directly with no prior GP referral.
What results do I receive on the day?
You receive immediate verbal ultrasound feedback during the scan. Your written ultrasound report is typically available within 24 hours, and the blood profile returns within 1–2 working days.
Does this package check for fatty liver?
Yes. Fatty liver assessment is one of the core components of the abdominal ultrasound examination.
Does this include thyroid and cortisol testing?
Yes. The package includes thyroid blood tests and a morning cortisol blood test as part of the metabolic and adrenal assessment.
What happens after the results?
Your GP consultation reviews the findings in detail and provides a clear action plan, including further referrals where clinically indicated.
