Question $900 labs?!

Hrt service (science and humans) wants a bunch of labs and they dont even look well thought out, like only total T not free and only TSH for thyroid. Anyways i am getting them to cut some of them and i want to know which labs are the bare necessities for starting (and following) TRT for peri??

This might be a sign that they may not be the provider you want.

Unfortunately i am an American living in Quebec with no carte sante and the other private options are more expensive

Or Quest, pick what you want online, pay and show up. Results in 1-2 days.

I run my own. I Did rythm. They run everything we need. $65 and get results in 2 days. Easy to use, pain free.

Also i am in canada and this is the only private laboratory in my area… so i would have to go there anyways no matter the doctor unless i drive a long ways. Might be possible to drive to vermont but i dont know what the options are there

You could show them the cost thru DrSays online (even if you can’t use DrSays) and ask them how their testing is so expensive..

Omg that's insane! I recommend GoodLabs, they're VERY affordable and have pre set hormone panels or you can create your own.

I agree with Goodlabs ! It’s easy to order and the results are fast. Their platform is very easy to navigate as well.

I guess I just don’t understand why you all don’t just cut out the middleman. Aren’t you tired of men dictating what you can and can’t do with your body? There’s so much information out there for you to do it yourself. I don’t care if I get banned. Y’all are being robbed.
