Large Blood Tests

Post by TheCatt »

So Function, Everlywell, and others have been all over my facebook offering to run like a billion blood tests for a set fee ($499, often with coupons to get to $399 or lower).

So I signed up for one. First draw was today, 11 vials. Next draw in a week. We'll see if there's anything useful.

A lot. It's basically all your yearly stuff plus about 70 other things.

That's kind of cool. Insurance cover it.

Looking forward to seeing if you think it's worth it.

Me too :)

I have a feeling it's going to mostly be noise, and they'll try to sell me more tests, or supplements or some crap. But if it finds something everything else missed, worth it.
