Most providers recommend a baseline before you start a GLP-1, then a recheck every 3–6 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.

Hemoglobin A1C
Your average blood sugar over 2–3 months: the gold standard for measuring metabolic improvement.
HbA1cEst. Avg. Glucose

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
Significant weight loss can shift your thyroid needs, important if you take levothyroxine or have a thyroid history.

What This Panel Measures

πŸ«€
Liver safety. ALT, AST and more via the CMP: watches for medication-related liver stress and the effects of rapid weight loss.
🩸
Metabolic progress. Fasting glucose plus A1C give the full picture of your blood sugar, now and over time.
❀️
Cardiovascular improvement. GLP-1s tend to improve cholesterol; the lipid panel tracks that gain.
πŸ¦‹
Thyroid function. TSH can drift as your weight changes; catching it early keeps thyroid meds dialed in.
πŸ”¬
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 8–12 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 3–6 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.
