This is all great info, thank you! And thank you for keeping it real with Function Health re: data ownership. I don't see a lot of added value from another 3rd party company that packages blood tests I could order on my own.

I agree, but Function is probably cheaper than if you ordered all those tests separately.

Have you run into Chronomics?

No, I haven't seen heard of them. Looks a little expensive...

I wouldn't say that Function Health is expensive compared to other options, given that the $500 includes two rounds of testing! Though the second round is missing some tests I'd want to have done twice a year (iron, vitamin D, omega-3)... Do you have a link to their "add ons" price list?

They do seem a bit clueless about data ownership and privacy, as you might have noticed when you agreed to their terms during signup 😉

With InsideTracker, you can see most test results on Quest's own site within 24h, which is nice.

Unfortunately I don't see an easy way to link to the add-on price list (the full list of all tests, including add-ons is here, but without prices: https://www.functionhealth.com/whats-included#alltests). Omega add-on is $49, Vitamin D is $29. Not the cheapest on earth, but pretty reasonable.
