What Does This Test Measure?
The Weight Loss Journey Test Panel — Baseline combines several important laboratory tests to evaluate the factors that commonly influence weight management.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
Measures your average blood sugar over the previous 2–3 months and helps identify prediabetes, diabetes, or insulin resistance that may impact weight loss.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Evaluates:
Liver function
Kidney function
Blood glucose
Electrolyte balance
Protein levels
Overall metabolic health
These markers are especially important before beginning certain prescription weight loss medications.
Lipid (Cholesterol) Panel
Measures:
Total cholesterol
HDL ("good") cholesterol
LDL ("bad") cholesterol
Triglycerides
Understanding your cardiovascular health is an important part of any wellness and weight management program.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Evaluates thyroid function, which plays a significant role in:
Metabolism
Energy production
Weight regulation
Hormonal balance
An underactive thyroid can contribute to difficulty losing weight and persistent fatigue.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Provides information about:
Overall health
Red and white blood cells
Anemia
Infection
General wellness
Conditions such as anemia may contribute to fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance.
Vitamin D
Measures vitamin D levels, which support:
Bone health
Muscle function
Immune health
Overall wellness
Vitamin D deficiency is common and may affect energy levels and overall health.
Additional Wellness Markers
Depending on your healthcare provider's recommendations, your baseline panel may include additional laboratory markers to provide a more personalized assessment of your metabolic and overall health before beginning your weight loss journey.
