Insulin, HbA1c, thyroid, and inflammation markers built specifically for GLP-1 candidates, weight-loss patients, and anyone with metabolic syndrome. It's the intake panel our medical weight-loss program uses.
Obesity, metabolic syndrome, GLP-1 candidates, stalled weight loss.
Weight loss stalls most often because of insulin resistance, undiagnosed thyroid dysfunction, or chronic inflammation — not willpower. Measuring these markers up front turns a weight-loss plan into a targeted medical strategy.
Fasting insulin (the earliest sign of insulin resistance), HbA1c and fasting glucose (diabetic staging), full thyroid function, vitamin D, lipids, liver and kidney function, and hs-CRP for systemic inflammation.
Anyone starting or considering GLP-1 therapy (semaglutide, tirzepatide), patients with plateaued weight loss, people with a BMI over 30, and anyone with a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Fast 10–12 hours before the draw (water and medications OK). If you're already on a GLP-1, keep taking it as prescribed — we want to see current numbers.
Results are reviewed by a physician and returned with plain-English interpretation. If you want to move directly into a medical weight-loss program, we'll transition you seamlessly.
Add a 30-minute Lab Review Consultation with an Optimum Care physician. They'll walk you through every marker, identify leverage points, and — if appropriate — connect you directly with our hormone, weight, or primary-care programs.
Most reputable programs require them. We use this panel as the intake baseline for our own medical weight-loss patients before prescribing semaglutide or tirzepatide.
That's exactly the kind of finding we want to catch. Insulin resistance is highly reversible with the right combination of medication, nutrition, and (when appropriate) GLP-1 therapy.
Yes — cortisol, testosterone, estradiol, and Free T3 are common add-ons for weight-loss workups. Add them at checkout.
Everything in the Standard Wellness Panel plus nutrient status, inflammation, and insulin resistance markers — the panel our physicians most often reach for when a patient describes fatigue, brain fog, or slow metabolic recovery.
Our most complete panel: advanced cardiovascular, hormonal, and metabolic markers reviewed one-on-one with an Optimum Care physician.
A complete sex-hormone, thyroid, metabolic, and prostate evaluation for men who feel off — considering HRT, tracking testosterone, or investigating low energy, libido, or performance.
A full sex-hormone and thyroid evaluation for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, cycle irregularities, or unexplained mood and energy shifts — physician-reviewed and portable to any clinic.
The Standard Wellness Panel is Optimum Care Clinic's foundational annual screen: metabolic, lipid, thyroid, and urinalysis markers reviewed by a physician.
Ordering labs is a great first step. If you want ongoing care, roll your results directly into hormone optimization, medical weight loss, or integrative primary care with the same clinical team.
