Dr Chatterjee’s Do Health

[MiddleAgedButterfly]

Has anyone else signed up to Dr Chatterjee’s “Do Health”?
I had my first bloods taken today along with BP weight height etc.

That's true about the more limited re-test, ElliePhant, good point. I asked it what markers were repeated at the 4 and 8 month tests and ferritin and hormones aren't included. Hormones I'm fine with - a yearly check-in is great for that, but my ferritin is really tricky to manage and seems to be up and down like a fiddler's elbow. The turtle tried to tell me it was a 'baseline marker' which 'changes slowly', which certainly isn't true for me, though it did change tack when I challenged that.

I suggested that the option to add additional tests would be really useful and it said it would feed that back to the team. I suspect if it were to become available it would have a cost, but it does seem from what others have said that they're still very much at a dynamic stage of adapting to feedback so I thought it was worth pushing a bit.

Interesting that the referrals process and waiting list is ending. I wonder if they've lost potential customers with the wait? If I signed up, full of enthusiasm, then didn't hear anything for several weeks (which is what would have happened if I wasn't on MN) the chances are that surge of initial interest and willingness to pay the money might have ebbed away by the time the joining invitation arrived.

Thanks for the tip re interacting re the turtle. Happy to repeat a couple of tasks each week as I need that external prompt but I’d like some alternatives.

I’ve been doing this just over a month and my results came within 24 hours too. I was on the wait list and didn’t get a referral. If that helps at all!
