Hi! Yes, you can test more frequently. Once you choose a plan, you can add as many more tests as you like at that same cost per test.

I also thought I would share our blog on lifestyle interventions associated with decreased inflammation levels:

Thank you!!
Based on an initial scan of the publications below it seems like it would but I haven't had a chance to review the robustness of these publications yet so don't want to officially claim this yet :)
vegan diet: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33303765/

Lifestyle changes including those related to nutrition, exercise, stress, and sleep can all improve inflammation levels. See our blog for a list of lifestyle interventions associated with decreased inflammation levels: https://www.begolden.online/post/lifestyle-interventions-ass...
Each person will respond differently so we suggest testing what works best for you.

Great comment! We believe there is a future where continuous inflammation testing will be possible. Here's a team already working on building it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...
To your point, we see it as a potentially tighter feedback loop for seeing the impact of lifestyle changes.

We think so! We have started to see teams working on this and couldn't be more excited: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...

The frequency of measurement is up to you. The more you test, the more detailed your data and insights are. Based on the data from clinical studies, some interventions can change inflammation levels (as measured by hsCRP) within weeks and others show within months. As such, we recommend testing every 1-2 months to likely provide adequate time for change to your levels. Each person’s needs and time to impact will vary, so adjust this frequency up or down, depending on what works best for you. See our blog to see how our CEO’s levels have changed over time: https://www.begolden.online/post/our-ceo-s-hscrp-scores-over...

Unfortunately, regulatory reasons but I believe we should be able to ship to NY by next year!
You're right - I probably shouldn't have used the language I did. In retrospect I see how it was confusing. I just meant to express how happy I was that healthy lifestyle changes were helping someone. :)
> I do hope someone will keep an independent scientific record of how this approach actually helps people (if at all).
Yes! We want to contribute to the scientific literature (e.g., by identifying new lifestyle interventions that help reduce inflammation levels) and do so in a validated way!
In the meantime, we base our service on existing scientific literature regarding which lifestyle interventions are associated with decreased inflammation levels: https://www.begolden.online/post/lifestyle-interventions-ass...
