Thanks for the feedback, diNObot. You've provided us good feedback to include the communication of what's included in our new 3-month program that includes blood and other lab work on top of the genetics. All of your information is kept confidential to facilitate this customized program.
it is the data about myself that i really struggle with.
i have health insurance and a doctor, but i don't know what tests to have done or what to do with that information afterwards. i don't even know if i can have these tests done simply by asking?!
does my blood show a deficiency in some vitamin or mineral? do i need to take calcium? is my gut doing great things for my mind and body?
i would pay premium price to figure out the above questions, and would be more likely to pay for a truly customized treatment.
ps - it's a lot of trust required to enter in birthday and personal information for a form. whereas i'd happily take a test with my doctor and then pay for a consultation with a certified medical specialist who puts my results in context of a solution - perhaps needing my weight and age and gender to do that. i it's hard to have that kind of trust with a new startup. in fact it made me trust y'all less to have to enter that info up front just to buy a standard mix of vitamins...
