I agree. I think it is worth getting expert advice especially at the beginning. So many things can happen for the worse. I started with gethealthspan. I like them. I particularly like how they started me with blood tests right away and retesting frequently. I had access to a message board where I could ask questions of their doctors.
There are also a handful of doctors like Dr Green and a few others listed somewhere here that can provide some handholding to start and necessary help if something goes wrong (infection, autoimmune flare, cholesterol / HbA1c increasing dramatically etc). This is serious and scary stuff. Treat it accordingly.
Honestly I’m not sure how I got comfortable with Rapa, methylene blue, etc. I tiptoed in but maybe I’m too comfortable now. There could be sharks in these murky waters. Hmmmmm. I’m overdue for a blood test.

I would not have rapamycin and acarbose if not for the service - a greater risk to my health than being given it too freely.
The alternative is not expert care - it’s no access at all.

That’s likely a fair call. It’s unfortunate that Primary Care Physicians aren’t totally on top of this and managing aging as a routine part of their evaluations and care. The approach of waiting for disease then treating it is unfortunate. I wish expert care that is pre-emptive was the norm, so there wasn’t such need to go outside of the establishment to get this type of care.

It would be great if we in the US could have a teleconsult with doctors in Hong Kong at that price for prescriptions. I ordered from India, but since I have insurance, its much cheaper for me to get scripts and go through insurance.

I got prescribed NP Thyroid (desiccated thyroid) from them without having to speak with anyone and I have been feeling much better improving my thyroid. I avoided having to pay a fortune to find a doctor who would prescribe this, and it’s very difficult to source this any other way. Push Health is epic.
