I’m really excited.  More Data.

I now have an alternative to visiting my PCP and asking for costly and limited blood screenings that don’t allow for easy automated comparative importation and analysis of critical health indicators.

I’ve just registered for Wellnessfx.com  and had my fasted-blood drawn at a local clinic a block and a half away from my home.  I didn’t have to see a doctor and for about the same price that I’d end up paying for lost time and an office visit+deductible, I get not only a great baseline biomarker analysis but also a phone-based medical consultation (I paid an extra amount for this) with a licensed practitioner that will review my results over the phone and using the Web.

Wellnessfx.com “…delivers advanced health diagnostics and phone-based consultations to give you the insights and recommendations you need to improve your biological health.”   The baseline test cost $199.  I paid an additional $70 for the medical consult.
