The launch comes as GLP-1 prescriptions have tripled since 2020 and the FDA approved the first oral Wegovy pill in late 2025, signaling continued expansion of these widely-used weight loss and diabetes medications.
"GLP-1 medications are increasingly used by people who want to optimize their metabolic health - as well as lose weight," said Dr. Alan Farrell, MB BCh BAO MSc, Chief Medical Officer at Choose Health. "In both metabolically challenged and healthy or athletic populations, what matters is understanding exactly how your body is responding internally. Tracking biomarkers gives patients that visibility."
The Monitoring Gap
According to recent KFF data, 12% of U.S. adults are currently using GLP-1 medications and around 1 out of 5 Americans have taken it at some point. Yet most patients lack convenient access to the blood tests to track the effects of the medication.
Choose Health is preparing to publish a clinical outcomes report in mid-2026 drawing on data from over 150,000 at-home blood tests.
Two Panel Options
The GLP-1 Health Monitoring Panel – Basic covers 8 biomarkers including liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT), kidney function (creatinine, eGFR), lipase, and blood sugar markers.
The GLP-1 Health Monitoring Panel – Comprehensive adds 10 markers, testing 18 in total, including a full lipid panel, TSH, hs-CRP, fasting insulin, vitamin D, ferritin, and ApoB, providing a comprehensive view of cardiometabolic health.
Both panels use a simple finger-prick kit mailed to Choose Health's CLIA-certified lab, with physician-reviewed results delivered through a secure dashboard.
Built by Metabolic Health Experts
"We've been focused on helping the U.S. population improve their health from home for years and that's exactly why we built these panels," said Mark Holland, Founder of Choose Health. "We want to give GLP-1 users real visibility into what's happening inside their bodies."

The GLP-1 Health Monitoring Panels are available now at ChooseHealth.io. No prescription or doctor visit is required.
