A specialized panel for monitoring metabolic health in patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight management. Includes comprehensive metabolic markers, lipid profile, liver function tests, kidney function, and key nutritional markers. Helps assess treatment efficacy, monitor for potential side effects, and ensure optimal metabolic health during weight loss therapy.
GLP-1 receptor agonists can produce rapid weight loss, and this panel is designed to track how your body responds across the systems most affected by that change. Because reduced appetite and calorie intake can lower your intake of key nutrients, the Iron/TIBC, Ferritin, Vitamin B12, and Folate markers screen for deficiencies that may drive fatigue or affect red blood cell production, cross-checked against your CBC With Differential. The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel covers glucose, kidney function, and liver enzymes, so you can see metabolic improvements while confirming that liver and kidney values stay in range during active weight loss. The Lipid Panel with ApoB and the thyroid markers (TSH, Free T4, and Free T3) add context on cardiovascular risk and metabolic rate, since ApoB reflects the number of atherogenic particles more directly than standard cholesterol, and thyroid status influences both weight and energy. Together these markers answer practical questions: Is my metabolic health improving, am I maintaining adequate nutrition, and are there side effects worth discussing with my clinician? Bundling all eight into a single blood draw is more convenient and typically more cost-effective than ordering each test separately, and gives you a coordinated snapshot rather than scattered results.
For athletes & active people
For active people, weight loss during GLP-1 therapy comes with a real risk of losing muscle and under-fueling, so tracking iron, ferritin, B12, folate, and your CBC helps protect training capacity and recovery. Stable liver, kidney, and electrolyte values on the metabolic panel, along with ApoB and thyroid markers, let you confirm that performance and long-term cardiovascular health are supported as your body composition changes.
