Had my first counseling call with a siphoxhealth.com doctor to review my biomarkers and make an action plan. 

Luckily my biomarkers are looking very good rn, aside from Vitamin D — Canadian winter. Walking through the biomarkers and learning how a doctor sees them is fascinating. Some take 6-8 weeks to change while others fluctuate within the day, and some are genetically determined and static. It's important to know which is worth retesting, and at what frequency. 

IMO it was worth the money and is helping me achieve my goal of learning about biomarkers through personal data, which is more engaging than biomarkers in the abstract. I feel I know the state of my body better than I did before, and I'm excited to retest to see how my actions change my biomarkers over time.

I may try to get a Glucose monitor in future, but it's important not to go overboard with tracking. I'll likely try insidetracker.com or functionhealth.com alternatives, too.

Siphox is a company to watch. They to my knowledge are the only ones working on truly at home testing, where you collect your own blood and don’t have to go to the lab, or even send it off 

Basically every company like this for now is a wrapper on LabQuest, and only differentiates on brand / health philosophy

wow thanks for sharing this is so awesome

My pleasure! I am really working hard, I need to externalize my knowledge here as these tests are only becoming more popular and I want consumers to make choices that empower them. Lot of bad behavior out there

i'm considering building an semantic index/agent that takes your casts and maybe some others + scouring for tweets from good accounts + the usual journals (fierce, genomeweb, etc)

it's sooo much information and i can no longer keep up with it all

I was legit thinking of this too 😂 but a little different, a curated feed from X, no bait slop. Get people to pay a little fee for it and then we all share API cost that way

ok i am a bit lazy so if you are already doing it i'm down to just wait for this LOL

lmk if you need any assistance

I'm not lazy per se but I have 2947329r723427 projects. Sigh lol.
