GLP-1 Health Check
5 essential blood tests to monitor your health on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. Covers liver function, blood sugar, cholesterol, thyroid, and blood counts — everything your provider wants to see.
If you're taking a GLP-1 medication — semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus) or tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) — regular blood work helps you and your provider make sure everything is on track.
The GLP-1 Health Check bundles the five tests most commonly recommended for patients on weight loss and diabetes medications into a single, affordable panel. It covers liver safety, metabolic progress, cardiovascular improvements, thyroid function, and general health markers.
What's included:
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) — Liver enzymes (ALT, AST), kidney function, glucose, and electrolytes. Liver monitoring is especially important for patients on tirzepatide.
- Lipid Panel — Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. Tracks one of the major cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 therapy.
- Hemoglobin A1c — Your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. The gold standard for measuring metabolic improvement.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) — Significant weight loss can shift your thyroid hormone needs. Particularly important if you're on levothyroxine or have a history of thyroid issues.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) — Red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. Screens for anemia and nutritional deficiencies that can occur with reduced caloric intake.
Most providers recommend baseline labs before starting GLP-1 therapy and follow-up testing every 3–6 months. At $49, the GLP-1 Health Check costs a fraction of what hospitals and traditional labs charge — with the same Quest Diagnostics labs and physician-reviewed results.

Included Tests
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Measures 14 substances including glucose, electrolytes, kidney and liver function markers.
Fasting
Lipid Panel (Standard)
Standard cholesterol panel including total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides. Essential for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Fasting
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Measures average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. Key marker for diabetes management and prediabetes screening.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Measures thyroid-stimulating hormone to evaluate thyroid function. TSH is the most sensitive marker for detecting thyroid disorders.
Complete Blood Count with Differential
Comprehensive blood cell analysis including red cells, white cells, platelets, and white cell differential.
Fasting Required
One or more tests in this panel require fasting for accurate results:
- Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw.
- Water is allowed and encouraged - stay hydrated!
- Schedule your lab visit in the morning for convenience.

What This Panel Measures
This panel evaluates five key areas of health affected by GLP-1 medications:
- Liver function & safety — ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, and albumin via CMP. Monitors for medication-related liver stress and the effects of rapid weight loss on liver enzymes.
- Metabolic health — Fasting glucose (CMP) and HbA1c together give a complete picture of blood sugar control, both current and over the past 2–3 months.
- Cardiovascular risk — Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. GLP-1 medications have been shown to improve lipid profiles — this tracks that progress.
- Thyroid function — TSH levels can shift as your weight changes, especially if you're already managing hypothyroidism. Catching changes early helps keep your thyroid medication dialed in.
- Blood cell health — CBC screens for anemia, infection, and nutritional deficiencies that can develop when caloric intake drops significantly during GLP-1 therapy.
Who Should Get This Panel
- You're currently taking Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, or Zepbound and need routine monitoring
- You're about to start a GLP-1 medication and want baseline labs before your first dose
- Your telehealth provider (Hims, Ro, Found, Calibrate, Sequence) recommends blood work but doesn't include it in your subscription
- Your doctor prescribed a GLP-1 and you want affordable lab work without going through insurance
- You're on compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide and want to make sure your levels look good

When to Get Tested
Before starting GLP-1 medication (baseline), every 3–6 months during active therapy, when changing dose, if experiencing new symptoms (fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain), and annually for long-term maintenance.
