This sounds similar to what services like Viome (https://www.viome.com) do. Though, their intervals (at least Viome's) are much longer.

Sounds helpful from the marketing text but pretty expensive.

If they could get that cheaper you could get people signing up out of curiosity. But when you see they want $200-$600 for this you start to get suspicious: what are you actually getting? Is it vetted by somebody? Etc.

Agreed. For whatever it's worth, I have a few friends who swear by it. I have no idea how dynamic our bodies needs are, but presumably you could make the price more reasonable by signing up, getting yourself on track, cancelling and then checking back in after 1/2/N years.

Damn. That's one of those "of course, why didn't I think of that", companies. Infuriating.

Really hope they're successful, seems like an unsolved problem.
