Is there a way to generate a printable report of my GoodLabs test results that I can turn into a PDF and share with my telehealth medical providers?

I see there's an option to share access to my GoodLabs data via email, but this doesn't help because I don't have my medical providers' emails. I interact with my providers through an online client portal where I can send PDFs.

I tried sharing my labs with my providers via screenshots of my GoodLabs account, but they told me they need an actual report that clearly identifies me by name, DOB, etc.

Curious what people picked as their first panel here. Mine was the comprehensive mens, figured id rather get the full picture once than guess at what to order. Ended up flagging stuff i didnt expect (low D, borderline cholesterol) so worth it for me. For anyone whos used the platform a while, do you rotate panels each time or stick with one? Trying to figure out the smartest way to do this longterm.

Looking to get the bodybuilder panel was wondering if there is a limit on the testosterone level , say if mine comes back 2000+ will it show the number or just say it’s passed the limit on the range ?

Started ordering the same panel through goodlabs every 6-8 weeks back in November. Wanted a baseline before cleaning up my diet. Wasn't expecting to learn much.

Fasting insulin was the surprise, went from 14 to 11 then 8 and finally 6.4 over four draws. HbA1c followed but slower (5.6 to 5.3). My doctor never once tested fasting insulin in a decade of annual physicals because my A1c stayed normal. Apparently I'd been creeping toward insulin resistance for years and nobody flagged it.

ApoB moved more than LDL too. LDL: 134 to 118. ApoB: 102 to 79. Different story when you look at particle count vs cholesterol amount.

Vitamin D was the embarrassing one. I've been supplementing 1000 IU for years assuming that was enough. Started at 24 (deficient). Bumped to 5000 IU and watched it cli to 46 over time.

Same Quest, same morning fasting, so the trend is apples to apples. None of this would've shown up on a once a year doctor visit with whatever markers insurance felt like covering.

What cadence is everyone else running if youre running one at all? Thinking quarterly now that things are stable but feels excessive?

When ordering Quest labs do I have to choose a location and appointment time after ordering test? I’m coming from UltaLabTests and they never made you schedule an appointment you could just choose the PSC location and walk in whenever you want, but Goodlabs makes you choose the appointment time after you choose the location so i’m wondering can I just walk in any quest location without choosing location and time?

GoodLabs please add the Quest #37073 test, really looking forward to it and i’d greatly appreciate it

Noticed this test is listed inside account as future test / notify me option. Any details available on what this will include? Also showing PFAS and p-tau127 too. Any hints on release dates or additional info?

I understand Estradiol, Free Test/Test(MS) take longer, but 8+ days for CBC/CMP/SHBG/ApoB and Lipid Panel (separate order). Hello?
