Tracking labs for the lipid panel — here's the panel I get every 3 months and why:
- CMP: glucose, electrolytes, kidney function, liver enzymes
- Lipid panel: total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides
- A1C: 3-month glucose average
- hsCRP: inflammatory marker
- CBC: blood counts, anemia screening
- B12, folate, iron: nutritional deficiency screening
- TSH, free T4: thyroid monitoring
- Lipase: pancreatic safety check
Total cost with insurance: about $35 copay. Without insurance, request cash-pay pricing from Quest/Labcorp — usually $150.

Saving this. It is the first explanation that did not require me to already understand it. Printing the relevant bit and taking it with me.

I would rather people stopped quoting the 24% as if it were a licensed outcome. It is a phase 2 result in a few hundred participants with no cardiovascular endpoint and no long-term safety data, and this board has a habit of treating pipeline numbers as settled.

Omega-3 index improvement on the lipid panel: often overlooked but my omega-3 index went from 4.4% to 7.9% over 9 months. I supplemented with 2g EPA+DHA daily.
This matters because omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective, complementing the GLP-1 benefits. Target omega-3 index is >8%. Combined with the triglyceride reduction from the medication, my lipid profile is the best it's been in decades.
