Thinking about starting a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro?

Before you begin, it’s important to understand how your body is functioning right now. This pre-treatment blood test gives you a clear picture of your metabolic health, liver and kidney function, and key markers like fasting insulin, HbA1c, and cholesterol, all of which can influence how you respond to these medications.

By checking your glucose control, organ health, and baseline risk factors before you start, you and your healthcare provider can make more informed decisions and reduce the risk of unwanted side effects. Whether you're using GLP-1s for weight loss, diabetes, insulin resistance, or PCOS, this panel helps ensure you're starting from a place of safety and clarity.

Check out our blog to see how blood testing can support safer, more effective use of GLP-1 medications and help you track your progress along the way.

What we test
Metabolic
Insulin resistance can lead to difficulty losing weight, distinct abdominal fat, fatigue, bloating and sugar cravings. Identifying insulin resistance early and committing to lifestyle changes can ultimately help the progression to diabetes.
Cholesterol
Lipids and cholesterol are fat-like substances in your blood. Some are necessary for good health, but when you have a high level of cholesterol in your blood, a lot of it ends up being deposited in the walls of your arteries and other vital organs. Lifestyle choices including diet, exercise and alcohol intake can all influence cholesterol levels and your risk of developing heart disease.
This cholesterol test measures:
Liver Function
Your liver processes drugs and alcohol, filters toxic chemicals, stores vitamins and minerals, and makes bile, proteins and enzymes. This liver function test examines enzymes and other markers for evidence of damage to your liver cells or a blockage near your liver which can impair its function.
This liver function test measures:
UECs (Kidney Function)
Your kidneys filter waste from your body and regulate salts in your blood. They also produce hormones and vitamins that direct cell activities in many organs and help to control blood pressure. When the kidneys aren't working properly, waste products and fluid can build up to dangerous levels creating a life-threatening situation.
