@new_berliner_ Reading comments, interesting how Russians in particular agree with the Swiss way of having no soul and just ripping you off for giant fines. Wonder why that is?
@KellyGo92282822@mschmidtxr1 Aging has zero to do with nearsightedness. There's no way around some study here, there's no TikTok steps to fix your eyes. Real talk: https://t.co/47nUB7uoV5
Got Glasses? And Contact Lenses too?
You probably want different 'lens power' for each.
Measure your eyes, calculate the correct values.
Now live in the garage lab of tools. Free.
Reminder: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the rich people in the world are part of an enormous criminal conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and literally nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.
Found a tool worth sharing for anyone running their own panels.
LabHackr (https://t.co/FaQy1OAHlG) catalogs every direct-to-consumer lab test in the US, then runs a matching algorithm to align identical Quest or LabCorp assays sold under different brand names across 52 retailers. Same lab. Same assay. Same LOINC code. Same printed result. The only thing that differs is what the retailer charges.
The price spread is genuinely absurd.
A Comprehensive Metabolic Panel at Jason Health is $8. The identical panel at LabCorp OnDemand is $60+. Same blood draw at the same patient service center. Same Quest or LabCorp lab running the analysis. Same LOINC code on the result.
A typical Vitamin D test ranges from $35 to $311 across retailers for the same test.
A bundled annual physical panel (CBC, CMP, Lipid, TSH, Vitamin D) ranges from $89 cheapest to $589 most expensive across the 21 retailers that carry it. Same five tests. 56x price range.
How it works:
You search the markers you want or pick from pre-built bundles. Their algorithm finds the single retailer that carries everything cheapest, including the requisition fee. You click through, pay direct, get drawn at any Quest or LabCorp patient service center near you, and have results in 1 to 3 days. No insurance. No referral. No markup.
Why this matters:
The case for running your own panels gets stronger every year. Most insurance won’t cover ApoB or Lp(a) without a specific diagnosis code. Most physicians won’t order fasting insulin, hsCRP, homocysteine, or omega-3 index in routine care. The data you actually need to track metabolic, cardiovascular, and longevity health upstream is largely DTC territory now.
When you can run a basic metabolic and lipid panel for under $30 cash, the economics flip. Quarterly comprehensive testing becomes accessible for the price of a couple coffees a week. You stop arguing with your physician about coverage and start arriving with the data already in hand.
What I’d recommend you build a quarterly basket around:
CBC, CMP, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, ApoB, Lp(a) (one time only, it’s genetic and stable), hsCRP, homocysteine, vitamin D, ferritin with iron studies, full thyroid (TSH, Free T4, Free T3), and basic hormones (testosterone with SHBG for men, estradiol and progesterone for women).
That’s the comprehensive metabolic and cardiovascular foundation that lets you trend your own physiology over time. Built quarterly, that data becomes a longitudinal record nothing else in healthcare can match.
Two honest disclosures from their site that I appreciate: they’re transparent that affiliate revenue covers server costs first, and anything beyond that goes to Partners In Health, who bring the same diagnostics to people in Haiti, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Peru, and Malawi who have never seen a lab panel. They also flag that as of now they haven’t crossed server cost so nothing has been donated yet. When it does they’ll post receipts. That’s the right way to run a transparent affiliate model.
Not sponsored. I make zero income from anything I post. Just sharing tools that actually serve patients trying to take control of their own data.
Quarterly testing was already the brand thesis here. LabHackr just made the math friendlier for the people doing it.
Don’t wait for the diagnosis.
Read the label.
@morellifit Ehhhh. If it's myopia, it's either strain or lens induced. Fixing that, not a peptide thing. If it's presbyopia, that's hardening of the lens. Largely preventable, no pill popping or needle injecting necessary. 20 years of natural myopia control: https://t.co/3kkDaan816
Oops this one got big. If you want to fix your eyes, yes it's not even that difficult.
tl;dr: Reduce lens power gradually over time.

You can get rid of your glasses. Glasses are a SUBSCRIPTION. A 140 billion dollar a year business.
What's holding you back:
Mistake #1: Assuming retail store sales person is medical doctor ("they know best, I'm helpless").
Mistake #2: Accepting clear curved pieces of plastic as a medical device, aka. prescription ("my eyes are diseased, broken")
Mistake #3: Not asking "what caused this" and "how does your treatment fix the actual problem." The business model is selling you glasses.
Fixing your eyes would destroy the business.
@meetrahuldev Actually, it's not at all an age thing. https://t.co/MlejmmjWGf search "pseudomyopia" and "lens induced myopia". There are the two causes of 99% of all human nearsightedness. tl;dr: It's the screens and the glasses.
@Samir4122000 Good question. Axial change (elongated eyes) goes both ways. Search google scholar, find thousands of studies. Proven solution? Kinda ... here's nearly two decades worth of first hand success stories: https://t.co/kAlx7WOdyH
