Strong Alternatives:

Lifeforce (~$549/year + consult)

Inside Tracker (~$700+ per panel)

LabCorp OnDemand / Quest Health (pay-per-test)

My Pick:
Function Health for most people — best combination of comprehensiveness, price, and usability without needing a doctor's order.
Pair any of these with a continuous glucose monitor (like Levels) for even deeper metabolic tracking.
