Listen →Marek Health offers the best value at just $99/year for 64 biomarkers (2 tests). Function Health provides the most comprehensive testing with 100+ biomarkers for $499/year. The "best" provider depends on your specific health goals, budget, and which biomarkers are most important for your situation.
Most health optimization experts recommend testing 2-4 times per year. This frequency allows you to establish baselines, track trends, and measure the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. More frequent testing (quarterly) is beneficial when actively working to optimize specific biomarkers or managing health conditions.
Most direct-to-consumer providers include the physician order as part of their service. However, some states (NY, NJ, RI) have restrictions on direct-to-consumer testing. Always check with your chosen provider about availability in your state and whether they provide the necessary physician authorization.
Direct-to-consumer blood testing services typically don't accept insurance directly. However, you can often use HSA/FSA funds for payment, and some people successfully submit receipts to insurance for partial reimbursement. Check with your insurance provider and the testing company for specific policies.
Providers differ in:1) Number of biomarkers tested (35-100+), 2) Annual cost ($99-$3,600), 3) Testing frequency (1-unlimited tests/year), 4) Lab network (Quest, LabCorp, or both), 5) Additional features (telehealth consults, health coaching, AI insights). Use our comparison table above to see specific differences.
Essential biomarkers include:Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, Lipid Panel, Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin, and inflammatory markers (hs-CRP). For optimization, add hormones (testosterone, estradiol, DHEA-S), advanced cardiovascular markers (ApoB, Lp(a)), and metabolic markers (HbA1c, insulin, glucose).
