Match the right therapy to each member — then support and monitor them closely on it. A pre-therapy genomic panel paired with guideline-based clinical monitoring, delivered as one coordinated experience.
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.
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.
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.
Genomic panel and baseline labs ordered together.
Buccal swab for genomics; blood draw for monitoring labs.
Two sub-scores, plus baseline lab results.
Dose pace and support set with the genotype in mind.
Serial labs on a defined cadence through maintenance.
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.
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.
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.
| Module | Genes | Markers | Evidence 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.
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.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| 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.
Efficacy and GI-tolerability, not raw genotypes to decode.
Genotype applied to every option on the market, injectable and oral.
Every marker carries an evidence tier and a source citation.
Practical, non-pharmacological support for GI tolerability during titration.
