1CLEAN BASELINE PANEL

0GUESSED MARKERS

Jorge AbreuNot a doctor. This is the baseline panel I actually get pulled before touching anything new, so a number that moves later has something real to compare against.

What's inside

The baseline panel, the add ons by category, and the part almost nobody tells you to repeat.

Fasting baseline panel

CBC with differential, a full metabolic panel, A1c, fasting lipid panel, thyroid, urinalysis, and the basic vitals. Run this first, before anything else.

GH secretagogues and weight loss compounds

HGH, Tesamorelin, CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin, R3ta, Zepbound, semaglutide. IGF-1, A1c, glucose, kidney function, lipids.

Healing and copper peptides

BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, Wolverine Blend, KLOW, GLOW, injectable GHK-Cu. What to track when there is no validated blood marker.

TRT add ons and the repeat schedule

Testosterone, estradiol, SHBG and PSA if stacking with TRT, plus exactly when to retest for each category.

Baseline the panel everyone starts with Add on specific to what you're running Repeat the retest cadence

Everyone asks what to run. Almost nobody asks what to check first.

I get baseline labs pulled before touching anything new, so if a number moves three months in, I actually know whether it's the pep or something that was already drifting. This is a research reference, not a protocol, and not a substitute for your own clinician.

The guide answers "what should I ask my doctor for." The ones after that, how to read the result, how to vet a vendor, what the research actually supports for your goal, are easier with other people in the room.

Six courses: foundations, handling and the math, compound library, by goal, vendor and COA vetting, what not to do
Vendor and COA vetting from someone who sits on the supply side and will tell you how the lying is done
Research breakdowns in plain English, no hype, no gurus, no sourcing requests
