Of course, it seems Quest is the better lab, particularly witht the speed of turnaround and receipt of prelim lab results through Private MD. Private MD does an incredible job of e-mailing results as they become available.
I have a bunch of $25 coupons for Private MD. I bought some labs as gifts for the holidays and, yes, for one-off purchases they had the best prices I could find... but again, they were for Quest. I bought several labs as gifts for some of my family... they actualy liked them (future gift ideas for you guys).
If you could follow-up and keep me in the loop on what you see as better pricing, I'd be very interested and appreciate it.

FYI. Fitomics will also send prelim results. Whenever I get a large panel I’ll email them and ask them to send partial results as they come in. Lipids, CBC, and Comprehensive Metabolic panel are complete at LabCorp in 2-3 days, but hormone labs take a week.
as of now.. im taking the equivalent of the "medium male hormonal panel" and Fitomics might be a little cheaper.. like 10-20 bucks cheaper than private lab(that I got on a sale).. but with the membership it pretty much cancels it out..
and im still waiting on my lab order so I can go to Labcorp.. private labs is usually day of.. right after placing order.. I have everything I need.
so far private labs with sales is taking the win.

Yes, but PrivateMD send them through instantly without asking. It's like they are set-up within the Quest system and its sent through as fast as they input/update.
I have Fitomics $75 plan for every 3 months & this is my 3rd quarter renewing. I'm pleased with them. However, I have to give PrivateMD their credit.

Bloods look pretty good Bama! I didn't see anything concerning. However, IDK much about the "Omega Check," and you liver values just have a little bump (but still good). I envy the eGFR.

Yea. The doxycycline is hard on the liver and kidney. I was unaware. Plus the groin injury was apparently serious enough to throw off several blood tests. Had I known I would have waited longer to get those labs. I’ll retest in 2 weeks and should see some improvement.

Bro, those liver values are very good considering you're taking a toxic oral. And, I totally agree with you, when you re-test it'll defo improve. Liver values can go up into the hundreds. A double or triple value is expected on toxics. Keep in mind, the liver can recover. It's the kidneys that can't.
I just got the email after I posted.. im going to go by Labcorp and do the bloods.. not fasted.. last trt pin was 2 days ago

Do you tell them your fasted anyways when they ask?
They just asked me lol and said I'm supposed to. I just said they told me I didn't have to.
They said ok come on back

I'm pretty big on omega-3's (fish oil fatty acids like EPA & DHA) -- decent support for long term brain health. @BamaCrazy get some more seafood in your diet man!

Doxy is very mild in the body. I wouldn't say hard at all

It’s pretty hard on the liver. It’s difficult to determine whether it was the doxy, the groin tear or a combination of both, but my AST and ALT levels tripled from December to 1/8/25. 24 to 65 in a matter of 30 days.

That's one. That's like saying don't cross the street, you will get hit by a car and die.
Did you read the study or even the conclusion?
Liver enzymes of 65 is hardly scary... is not a big deal at all if you discuss it with any medical practitioner.
Usually a flag of concern is 3x upper normal limit
Even 2x wouldn't be a concern to stop therapy.
