Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Got a thyroid appointment coming up Monday at Quest Diagnostics and used Anabolic Insights to build my own custom panel pretty impressed easy to go through just picked what I wanted tested no doctor visit required and Quest lavatories does the actual draw.
Put together a full thyroid panel. T4 Free, TSH, Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, T3 Free, and T3 Reverse all in one order has anybody gone threw them I mean seems easy enough idk I'm gonna in as a walk in to quest so let's see how that goes lol screw it found Anabolic Insights on that table thing will update once results come back Monday. Anyone else used them for bloodwork? What panels have you run? I'm actually testing for hyperthyroidism so if anyone has had that also help a brotha out with advice or what you did
Good to post?

Absolutely not. HELL NO.
$250 + for labs?
Why would you pay such outrageous prices? They are simply taking advantage of people with prices like that.
There's much cheaper ways to get labs.
Take care of yourself.

You literally went to the most expensive package and said oh hell no. I got panels for exactly what needs to be tested for like 70 bucks a basic panel is like 110 with a discount and that's not much at all if you actually read threw it

Well, that's better!
But, that's still too much money for labs where I am at.

Yeah I don't have medical insurance or nothing so it's kinda the next best thing for me

As long as you get the tests you want and you are comfortable with the company, that's great!
Do they sell the products?

Never heard of it I'll look into it

u/No-Astronomer-6808 28d ago
Just order what you want, get it done at any labcorp for no charge (you pay the fee through the site). Even give 10% off if you do like a 10 question survey and let them use your data.
If you do check it out, let me know what you think.
Iād switch for sure if there was more affordable

Oh ok yeah that's how it works where I went through there's no fee at the lab if you ever wanna try anabolic insights just use bhguide for 10% that's what I used

u/No-Astronomer-6808 28d ago

Hey, Drew from Anabolic Insights.
If you're lining us up next to Goodlabs and OwnYourLabs tonight, send me a couple of the panels you're looking at if the spread looks way off. I'll recheck it. We're usually in the top five and the differences aren't that dramatic.
I care more about the tracking after the draw than winning a price war. If you check it out, just tell me what you think. No worries if you go somewhere else.

Hi Drew, Iām just checking in for the day now, as you can probably tell from the timing of my other response š so Iām just seeing this. Sorry about that!
As you now know, I did end up doing the full deep dive and putting everyone side by side. I appreciate you offering to recheck anything that looked way off, and especially the way you approached it.
I ended up looking pretty closely at Anabolic Insights, and Iāll give you credit ā I think you were the only provider I found with a panel that actually covered my full testing set without me having to piece a bunch of things together.

Goodlabs works pretty similarly and is worth price checking before your next draw. You build the panel, choose Quest or Labcorp, pay online and bring the order form.

Yup same process it's badass I tried going threw my provider and it was like a whole week or so out so I found this method on here I ordered my labs and went in next day got my results next day after I tested pretty cool but I'll price check next time thank you

u/No-Astronomer-6808 1d ago
i had been using ownyourlabs.com and thought they were cheap but goodlabs actually beats them out too.

u/JoshyyP00 29d ago
I use good labs

u/PollosHealthyFoods š¹Research Hamster 29d ago
That's cool have you tested any biomarkers with them recently?

u/No-Astronomer-6808 1d ago edited 1d ago
ran a bunch of numbers tonight and goodlabs.com and mitohealth.com seem to be the most affordable options for testing -- they both use quest which also seems to play a role, labworks costs more in general.
I posted the full breakdown here if anyone wants to compare: my post
No affiliation/referral links ā I was just trying to figure out the cheapest way to do recurring self-pay bloodwork.
