blood-testing
Ultimate Plan
InsideTracker is the industry leader for actionable data, using a peer-reviewed algorithm to provide personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on 48 key biomarkers. Their platform is specifically designed for athletes and high-performers seeking optimization rather than just 'normal' ranges.
Quality & Materials
Uses venous blood draws via national partners (Quest/LabCorp) for maximum data integrity.
Evidence & Testing
Their personalized nutrition algorithm is backed by a study published in Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
Brand Transparency
Full disclosure of the scientific literature used to justify every recommendation provided in the user dashboard.
Value Assessment
Higher price point ($589), but the value lies in the sophisticated data visualization and integration with wearable data (Apple Watch/Garmin).
Why Not Alternatives?
While more expensive than Life Extension, InsideTracker's 'InnerAge' analysis and specific lifestyle 'Action Plan' provide significantly more utility for users who don't know how to interpret raw lab data.

This test provides a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, and testosterone check with hospital-grade precision.
Thorne
Vitamin D Test
Thorne is a leader in clinical-grade diagnostics, offering a dried blood spot test that has been validated against traditional venous draws. Their reporting is exceptionally detailed, providing actionable insights beyond just a numerical value.
