This is a good concept. I followed through the sign up process. Then the 5 different categories of sleep, energy, stress etc. confused me. IMO, they all go together, so testing only one may not help. I have questions about the science. Seems like Quest is running the same tests that my doctor runs. I would like to see more information about how this is different. What are the algorithms I read one of the response from Lola about tracking circadian rhythms. How is that being tracked, if I am providing one sample in a month or quarter?

@abhi_muthiyan Happy to go over these. - For some people tracking one area at a time help them reduce costs and things to do. E.g. if you have no concerns with your sleep but you are vegetarian being focused on nutritional deficiencies would result in a more affordable and easy user experience. - We actually have access to a full test menu, as your doctor, given that we work with Quest. Typically doctors send their samples to the same labs that we do. Note that we also have doctors on the team. - For the circadian rhythms we start by looking into how your Melatonin levels evolve throughout the day - About the frequency, we suggest monthly if you foresee implementing nutritional, supplemental and lifestyle changes often. Otherwise do quarterly. Note that you have an optional onboarding 15 mins call after receiving your first results where we adjust this based on your profile an initial results. You can also adjust it from the app whenever.

Base is 🔥🔥🔥 I've used 3 of the standard tests and was able to make some impactful changes every time thanks fo the actionable insights provided in no time. What other solution comes even close to this today? Going to the doctor to be prescribed a test to go get blood drawn to go back to the doctor.. what a waste of time and money! thank you @lola_priego and team for this amazing product and congratulations on the launch!

@glmorain thanks! It's an honor to be able to serve consumers that don't have the time to go to the doctor office and use technology to make this process more efficient and accessible. Taking care of your health and identify nutritional and vitamin deficiencies should be easy!

@lola_priego Congrats on the launch on PH, Lola! I love that you can take control of your health with Base and arm yourself with the right data to ask the right questions. With the way testing is set up right now, we as patients have a myopic view into changes happening in our bodies. Doctors in the hospital system are prisoners to time allocation. I hope Base gets to transform this experience for all of us, where we can gain access to our health data in a holistic way - and demystified!

@galinaozgur thanks! Our dream is to truly disrupt healthcare and introduce continuous monitoring (testing) while putting people in the driver seat of their health.

Congrats on the launch! Love the concept and idea, especially during these uncertain times. Could we use Base to know whether or not we got the antibodies? Also, the idea of having all my health data in once place seems super useful, very cool! Excited to see more

@cristobalchaog thank you. Right now we are not doing Covid testing as we believe those tests should be free or fully covered by all insurance. However, if we see a high demand from our subscribers as they build a relationship with us we can reconsider :)

I had the opportunity to try out Base's service while they were in beta. Collecting and mailing in blood samples from home via finger prick test kits was super-convenient, and had my results within a week. While I do more extensive (blood, saliva, stool, etc.) lab testing than the typical person (i.e., check out my site QuantifiedBob.com), developing an action plan based on all of these markers can prove overwhelming to many. Base simplifies the process by giving you just a few action items each month (specific supplements, etc.), then retesting to see if your panels are moving towards a more optimal state. All at an affordable price. Excited to see how their service evolves!
