Testing / Core Metabolic Panel

For GLP-1 Therapy

Know before you dose.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide change thyroid signalling, strain kidneys, and reverse NAFLD — for better and worse. This 9-marker panel gives your physician the data to prescribe safely and track the outcome.

Why it matters

Three reasons this panel changes the conversation.

01

Thyroid safety is non-negotiable

GLP-1 receptor agonists carry a black-box warning for medullary thyroid carcinoma. TSH is the first marker to check. A thyroid contraindication missed pre-treatment is a liability no prescriber wants.

02

70% of candidates have NAFLD

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is epidemic in GLP-1 candidates — and GLP-1 therapy is one of the only interventions that reverses it. AST/ALT gives you the before number, so the improvement tells a compelling story.

03

Your lipids tell the outcome story

Triglycerides, LDL, and HDL all shift within 12 weeks of GLP-1 initiation. Without a baseline, you can't demonstrate the metabolic improvement — or adjust dose based on response.

Common questions

Everything you should know before ordering.

Do I need to be fasting for this panel?

Yes — an 8-hour overnight fast before your at-home draw gives accurate fasting lipids and glucose markers. Water and medications are fine.

Can this panel be used to get a GLP-1 prescription?

Yes. WellSpry physicians review your results and can prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide through licensed pharmacy networks — directly from your panel results.

How often should I retest while on GLP-1?

Every 90 days is the clinical standard. Kidney function, liver enzymes, and lipids should all be monitored throughout treatment — especially in the first year.

Is this panel HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes. Physician-ordered diagnostic testing is HSA and FSA eligible. At a 32% bracket, the effective cost is approximately $115.
