Who is it for?

Why this test?

This assessment evaluates your metabolic, renal, hormonal, and hematologic health before starting treatment with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Saxenda. These medications can affect blood sugar, appetite, digestion, and kidney function, so having a complete baseline before beginning treatment is essential to ensure safe and effective use.
