It’s incredible how many health issues people have but aren’t aware of. I advise people find doctors and facilities that are friendly towards getting more diagnostics not less. Blood work and other types of tests can help you fix things early.

That privacy policy is hilarious.

Is that how we sibsidize the advertized cost of $1500 down to $200

That’s great. I assume they make it easier to get the work done? I feel like it’s always an uphill battle to convince physicians to do some diagnostic test that has no downside.

		Quest and Labcorp have made it fairly easy to get diagnostic bloodwork yourself, without involving a doctor. It's a lot more than $200 though. It's actually cheaper for me to go to one of these labs than to talk to a doctor and deal with insurance.

Assuming you can afford it, or have the will to address the problems.

		100%. Not eating spoonfuls of Crisco/shortening like peanut butter is an easy life change. "Reduce chronic stress" is non-trivial.

A lot of people don’t want to know.
