Decide what to measure, where to get it, and what it should cost--without sales pressure.
What this helps with
What you get
Delivered in 2-5 business days
1) A shortlist of options (3-7 providers)
Based on your location, preferences (telehealth/travel), and budget band.
2) Price expectations (line-item style)
- Typical ranges in your region
- What affects price (facility, add-ons, interpretation, memberships)
3) A questions-to-ask kit (copy/paste)
- "What exactly is included?"
- "Do I receive raw results (PDF/CSV)?"
- "Who interprets the results?"
- "What happens after I get the result?"
4) A "signal vs noise" checklist
- Which measurements are commonly high-signal (with caveats and citations)
- Which measurements are often low-yield or purely marketing, and why
5) Links to Novostead resources
Relevant tool pages, test explainers, and evidence standards so you can double-check everything.

FAQ
Is this medical advice?
No. This is navigation and transparency support.
Can you tell me which test I "should" do?
No. We can explain tradeoffs, typical use cases, and questions to ask--so you can decide with a clinician if needed.
Do you book appointments?
Not currently. We provide a shortlist and (optionally) introductions.
Why not just Google it?
Because pricing and quality vary, marketing is aggressive, and many people get pushed into unnecessary bundles. This service is designed to save time and reduce expensive guesswork.
