Lab work and your Elara program

Quarterly metabolic labs are included in your Elara program. Your health history and any recent results help your clinician read the first panel in context and decide whether additional testing is medically appropriate.

Start with the records you already have

As part of your assessment, share recent lab results if you have them. If you have taken a GLP-1 medication before, include your prescription and dose records, along with any gaps in treatment.

Your clinician reviews your medical history, current medications and available results. You don’t need to work out which tests to order yourself.

Quarterly labs give your clinician a regular checkpoint

Your program includes metabolic lab work every three months at Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp. Your clinician reviews those results alongside your medical history, medications, symptoms and how treatment is going. Additional testing may be ordered when medically appropriate.

Your first lab review can affect your start date

Your clinician sets the timing of your first included panel based on your history and any recent results you provide. Once treatment is approved and any required review is complete, medication typically ships within a week. Missing records, lab turnaround and pharmacy processing can add time.

Keep your clinical team informed

Use your patient portal for care questions and refill forms. Tell the team about symptoms, new medications or supplements, and any changes in your health. Your clinician decides whether a refill, dose adjustment or further evaluation is appropriate.

Questions about your own results?

Ask your clinical team through the patient portal. An article can’t interpret your results in the context of your full medical history. For severe or concerning symptoms, seek urgent care. For a medical emergency, call 911.
