5Tests included
Most providers recommend a baseline before you start a GLP-1, then a recheck every 3β6 months. This panel bundles the tests they look at most into one blood draw, so you can monitor your progress and safety without chasing five separate orders or paying hospital prices.
Included Tests
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)Liver enzymes (ALT, AST), kidney function, glucose and electrolytes. Liver monitoring matters most on tirzepatide.

What This Panel Measures
π«Liver safety. ALT, AST and more via the CMP: watches for medication-related liver stress and the effects of rapid weight loss.
π©ΈMetabolic progress. Fasting glucose plus A1C give the full picture of your blood sugar, now and over time.
β€οΈCardiovascular improvement. GLP-1s tend to improve cholesterol; the lipid panel tracks that gain.
π¦Thyroid function. TSH can drift as your weight changes; catching it early keeps thyroid meds dialed in.
π¬Blood & nutrition. CBC screens for anemia and deficiencies that appear when intake drops.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my prescriber's permission to order this?
No. You can order it yourself (the order is physician-reviewed on our end). Many people bring the results to their GLP-1 provider or telehealth program.
Do I need to fast?
Yes. The CMP and lipid panel are most accurate fasting. No food or drink except water for 8β12 hours before your draw. Morning visits are easiest.
How often should I test on a GLP-1?
Most providers suggest a baseline before you start, then every 3β6 months, plus any time you change dose or notice new symptoms.
Is this billed to insurance?
No. You pay directly, nothing is billed to insurance, and nothing appears on your insurance record. Your results go only to your secure account.
