Why It Matters

The number-one reason members quit isn't the drug — it's the side effects

Early discontinuation is the most common failure mode in GLP-1 programs, and nausea or vomiting during dose escalation is the most common reason members stop — often after the cost has already been spent. This program is built to flag elevated-risk members before the first dose, so titration pace and support can be planned proactively rather than reactively.

Two Components, One Experience

Genomic stratification, then guideline-based monitoring

Part 1 · Genomic Stratification

A pre-therapy genotyping panel returning an efficacy sub-score and a GI-tolerability sub-score. Done once, before the first dose, to help set drug choice, dose pace, and support. Wellness-grade — a one-time buccal swab; the result is a genotype and does not change over time.

Part 2 · Clinical Monitoring

Baseline and serial labs — A1c, comprehensive metabolic panel, CBC, lipid panel, and TSH — through titration and maintenance. Established standard of care, billed through normal channels like any other laboratory testing.

The Member Journey

Five steps, coordinated from enrollment

01

Enroll

Genomic panel and baseline labs ordered together.

02

Baseline Testing

Buccal swab for genomics; blood draw for monitoring labs.

03

Report

Two sub-scores, plus baseline lab results.

04

Titrate

Dose pace and support set with the genotype in mind.

05

Monitor & Maintain

Serial labs on a defined cadence through maintenance.

Who It's For

Built for clinicians, members, and payers alike

For Clinicians

Decision support at the point of prescribing. Enrollment yields genotype-informed guidance on drug choice, titration pace, and support intensity — alongside a full baseline lab panel with defined renal, hepatic, glycemic, and thyroid follow-up. Every auto-generated therapy note is clearly marked for provider review and is not a substitute for clinical guidelines or judgment.

For Individuals

One appointment, a plan informed by your own biology, and proactive check-ins designed to catch issues early. This is a wellness-grade test meant to support a conversation with your care team, not a diagnosis or a guarantee of how you'll respond — your provider makes the final call on therapy.

For Payers & Employers

Early discontinuation is a top driver of wasted GLP-1 program spend. This program targets that directly with evidence-tiered genomic stratification, while clinical monitoring is billed through standard channels like any other lab work — the wellness-grade genomic panel is offered as a separate, clearly identified elective service, not bundled into a coverage claim.

What's Measured

10 markers across 5 gene modules

ModuleGenesMarkersEvidence Tier
Efficacy — GLP-1 Receptor Agonists GLP1R 3 Moderate–Emerging
Tolerability — Gastrointestinal GLP1R, GIPR 2 Strong (GWAS)
DPP-4 Inhibitor Specific TCF7L2, CTRB1/2 2 Moderate
Glycemic Response (Signaling) ARRB1 1 Moderate
Obesity Context MC4R, FTO 2 Contextual

This panel tests drug-target and incretin-pathway biology (GLP1R, GIPR, and related genes) — not drug metabolism. Injectable GLP-1 receptor agonists are peptides and are not processed by the liver's CYP450 enzymes the way many small-molecule drugs are, so classic "metabolizer" genes don't apply here. Evidence tiers: Strong (GWAS) = genome-wide significant and replicated · Moderate = replicated across more than one cohort · Emerging = early, biologically plausible, not yet replicated · Contextual = informs baseline risk, not drug response.

The Report Advantage

Two plain-language scores, not a wall of raw genotypes

Separate efficacy and GI-tolerability sub-scores translate directly into titration pace and support intensity — with every medication on the market compared against that person's own genotype, not a general ranking.

Illustrative example only. Scores, genotypes, and the medication comparison that follows in the full report are specific to each individual's own genotype and are not a general ranking of one drug over another for everyone.

Every report also includes a full medication comparison (injectable and oral GLP-1 options, plus DPP-4 inhibitors as a weight-neutral glycemic alternative), a plain-language explanation of each finding with its evidence tier, lifestyle guidance to support GI tolerability during titration, and a therapy-guidance section that is clearly marked as auto-generated decision support requiring provider review before prescribing.

Monitoring Built on Guidelines

Guideline-based labs, on a defined cadence

AspectDetails
Baseline & Serial Labs A1c · Comprehensive metabolic panel · CBC · Lipid panel · TSH
Cadence Every 3 months in year one (titration), then every 6–12 months in maintenance
Event-Driven Metabolic panel during any illness with fluid loss, per 2024 KDIGO renal guidance
Liver, at No Extra Draw FIB-4 fibrosis score calculated from labs already drawn (age, AST, ALT, platelets), per AASLD guidance

Monitoring supports safer care and earlier detection of problems; it does not eliminate the inherent risks of GLP-1 medication.

Report Includes

Built to be read, not decoded

Two plain-language scores

Efficacy and GI-tolerability, not raw genotypes to decode.

Full medication comparison

Genotype applied to every option on the market, injectable and oral.

Evidence you can check

Every marker carries an evidence tier and a source citation.

Lifestyle & adjunct guidance

Practical, non-pharmacological support for GI tolerability during titration.

Wellness-grade, not diagnostic. The genomic component of this program is a laboratory-developed test intended for research and wellness purposes — it is not a diagnosis, and no CPIC or medical-society pharmacogenomic guideline currently exists for GLP-1 receptor agonists or DPP-4 inhibitors. Effect sizes at the individual-marker level are modest; non-genetic clinical factors (sex, baseline BMI, diabetes status, dose, time on drug) explain more of a person's response than genetics alone. Results support — and do not replace — clinical judgment.
Laboratory-Developed Test Disclosure: This test was validated, and performance characteristics determined, by MNM Laboratory. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It is performed in a CLIA-certified, high-complexity laboratory and is intended for research and wellness purposes to inform — not replace — clinical judgment and provider-directed treatment decisions. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. No CPIC or medical-society pharmacogenomic guideline currently exists for GLP-1 receptor agonists or DPP-4 inhibitors; allele frequencies and effect estimates are ancestry-dependent and derived predominantly from European-ancestry cohorts.
