GLP-1 Package - TruHealth GLP-1 Ready

What Is the TruHealth GLP-1 Ready Package?

The TruHealth GLP-1 Ready Package is a comprehensive pre-therapy assessment designed to .evaluate your health status and metabolic profile before starting GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy. This metabolic baseline test examines multiple body systems to .ensure safe initiation of treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide.

This assessment panel serves as your medical safety net and is conducted once before therapy initiation. It helps healthcare providers identify underlying conditions that could increase risk or create contraindications to GLP-1 medications. The assessment provides crucial baseline data that guides doctors in your treatment journey to monitor and detect potential side effects early.

Why Baseline Screening Is Important Before GLP-1 Therapy

Baseline assessment before GLP-1 therapy is consistent with current FDA labeling and professional society recommendations (e.g., ADA, AACE) emphasizing individualized safety evaluation. Research shows that proper pre-treatment assessment significantly reduces the risk of adverse effects and improves treatment outcomes.

The baseline data provided by Truhealth GLP 1 – Package  references values for monitoring glycaemic control, renal and hepatic function, and potential adverse effects over time. Your doctor can compare subsequent test results against these baseline values to track how well you're responding to treatment and detect any concerning changes early.
