Thinking about starting GLP-1 weight loss treatment?
But not sure if it is right for you? Some people say you need blood tests. Some say BMI is enough. Others say you can simply get started.
But everyone’s health history, medical background, eating pattern and lifestyle are different. Start with a health baseline. Know what to do next—and what to look out for.
Losing weight
does not always mean everything is improving.
Weight loss can be a positive change.
But a number on the scale does not tell you:
- Whether you are losing fat, muscle, or both?
- Whether your protein, iron and vitamin intake are adequate as you eat less?
- Whether your blood glucose, lipids and metabolic health are improving too?
- Whether there may be underlying liver or kidney concerns worth discussing?
Want to manage weight better? Start with your health baseline.
This assessment may be suitable if you:
- Are considering medical weight management and want to understand your current health status first
- Have already changed your diet, exercise routine or lifestyle and want objective data
- Experience repeated weight gain and weight loss and want to understand more health factors
- Want a health-check report to discuss with a doctor, dietitian or fitness coach
Weight management Should not be guesswork.

A clearer weight-management baseline.

COMMON QUESTIONS
GLP-1 medication may affect appetite and blood glucose. As weight, food intake and dietary patterns change, your body may change too.
A health check can help establish a baseline and provide information for discussion with a qualified healthcare professional.
- Monitor organ-health markers
Changes in appetite, food intake, hydration or gastrointestinal symptoms may affect relevant health markers. Kidney and liver tests can provide baseline information for further medical discussion where appropriate.
- Track metabolic health
A scale only shows body weight. Blood markers such as HbA1c, blood glucose and lipids can provide more information about metabolic health.
- Review nutrition and muscle-related risk
Eating substantially less may affect nutrition intake. Reduced intake may also be relevant when reviewing energy levels, protein intake and body-composition changes.
- Understand possible factors behind slower progress
Thyroid assessment and other health markers may help identify areas worth discussing with a healthcare professional if weight-management progress is slower than expected.
No.
A health check cannot guarantee the prevention of all side effects. It also cannot guarantee that any medication is safe or suitable for an individual.
The purpose of this assessment is to establish a health baseline, review relevant health history and current symptoms, and help you understand warning signs that should not be ignored.
Yes.
This assessment may be suitable for people considering medical weight management, making changes to their diet and exercise, or seeking a more structured understanding of their metabolism, body composition and nutrition-related risks.
