The 5 Metabolic Labs Your Doctor Isn't Ordering

The clinical tests that reveal what's actually happening underneath your GLP-1 results.

If you're on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or another GLP-1 and your results have stalled, your standard bloodwork isn't showing the full picture. This free clinical guide covers the 5 metabolic labs every GLP-1 patient should be tracking — including reference ranges optimized for GLP-1 metabolism, and the exact phrasing to use when requesting each from your provider.

    Inside the guide:

    • Fasting insulin: the lab most prescribers omit, and the threshold that signals insulin resistance before glucose ever shifts

    • HOMA-IR: the calculated marker that tracks GLP-1 treatment response over time

    • Triglyceride:HDL ratio: a proxy already sitting in your lipid panel that nobody flagged

    • Post-meal glucose via CGM: what fasting labs miss about your real glucose pattern

    • DEXA scan: why 30-40% of GLP-1 weight loss is muscle, and how to track it

    Each lab includes reference ranges optimized for GLP-1 patients and the exact phrasing to use when requesting it from your provider.
