Question 1

What is Bloodwork and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Upload your existing blood test results (PDF, photo, or digital file). We analyze 100+ biomarkers across 10 health systems and deliver a personalized report with clear explanations, optimal-range comparisons, and an actionable health plan — no new lab tests required.

Question 2

Who is Bloodwork for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who wants to understand their blood test results beyond "normal" or "abnormal." Whether you're proactively optimizing your health, managing a chronic condition, training for performance, or just confused by your lab report — Bloodwork translates your numbers into clear, actionable guidance.

Question 3

How is Bloodwork different from what my doctor tells me?

Accepted Answer

Doctors are trained to diagnose disease, not optimize health. If your results don't flag a diagnosable condition, you're told "you're fine" — even if you're trending toward insulin resistance or hormonal imbalance. We compare your markers against optimal ranges (not just population averages), show cross-marker patterns, and give you specific steps to improve.

Question 4

Do I need to order new blood tests to use Bloodwork?

Accepted Answer

No. You can upload any recent blood test report you already have. We accept results from all major labs including Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, and hospital laboratories. No new needles, no new appointments — just upload and get clarity.

Question 5

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Take our short health quiz (under 3 minutes). We'll ask about your health goals, symptoms, and background so we can personalize your analysis. Then upload your blood test results, and you'll receive your report.

Question 6

What file formats can I upload?

Accepted Answer

We accept PDF lab reports, photos of printed pages (JPG, PNG), and digital files. As long as your biomarker values are readable, we can analyze them.

Question 7

Can I upload results from any lab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support results from Quest Diagnostics, LabCorp, hospital labs, international labs, and direct-to-consumer testing services. If it's a standard blood test report with biomarker values, we can work with it.

Question 8

How old can my lab results be?

Accepted Answer

For the most actionable insights, we recommend results no older than 6 months. Older results can still be analyzed for trend tracking, but your action plan will be most accurate and relevant when based on recent bloodwork.

Question 9

Can I upload multiple lab reports to track changes over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Uploading results from different dates lets us show you how your biomarkers are trending — whether your cholesterol is improving, your vitamin D is recovering, or your inflammation markers are rising. Longitudinal tracking is one of the most powerful features of Bloodwork.

Question 10

How quickly will I receive my analysis after uploading?

Accepted Answer

Most analyses are delivered within minutes. Complex reports with many markers may take slightly longer. You'll receive a notification as soon as your personalized report is ready.

Question 11

What biomarkers does Bloodwork analyze?

Accepted Answer

We analyze 100+ biomarkers across 10 core health systems: Heart & Cholesterol, Blood Sugar & Metabolism, Hormones, Stress & Longevity, Thyroid Function, Immune & Inflammation, Nutrition & Omegas, Liver & Protein, Kidney & Hydration, and Blood Cells. We don't just look at isolated numbers — we show how these systems interact.

Question 12

What is the difference between "normal" and "optimal" ranges?

Accepted Answer

Standard lab reference ranges are based on the general population, which includes many unhealthy individuals. A result can be "normal" by lab standards but far from the level where you feel and perform your best. Bloodwork uses optimal ranges calibrated for health and longevity, catching the subtle issues standard reports miss.

Question 13

My doctor says my results are fine. Why does Bloodwork flag something different?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor reviews results against wide reference ranges designed to detect disease. Bloodwork evaluates against tighter, evidence-based optimal ranges and looks at how markers relate to each other. A "normal" TSH with suboptimal free T3, for example, could explain fatigue that your doctor wouldn't flag.

Question 14

Why can't I just Google my results or ask ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

Generic tools give you textbook definitions without knowing your age, sex, health history, or how your markers interact. A high ferritin level means something different when your CRP is elevated (inflammation) versus when it's low (iron overload). Bloodwork interprets your specific numbers in your specific context.

Question 15

What kind of personalized action plan will I receive?

Accepted Answer

Your plan includes specific, prioritized steps tailored to your results — dietary changes, supplement suggestions, lifestyle adjustments, and which markers to retest. It's not generic advice; it's built from your actual biomarker patterns and health profile.

Question 16

Are the health insights and recommendations backed by science?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All explanations and recommendations are grounded in peer-reviewed research from trusted medical journals. Our analysis framework is built on established clinical evidence for biomarker interpretation and optimal health ranges.

Question 17

Is Bloodwork a replacement for my doctor?

Accepted Answer

No. Bloodwork is a health analysis tool, not a medical provider. We don't diagnose or treat disease. Instead, we help you understand your results deeply so you can have more informed conversations with your doctor and advocate for your own health.

Question 18

What happens if my results show something serious?

Accepted Answer

We flag critical findings immediately and explain exactly why they matter, including what to discuss with your doctor. We provide the data and context you need to seek the right medical attention quickly.

Question 19

Can Bloodwork diagnose medical conditions?

Accepted Answer

No. Bloodwork provides educational health analysis and insights. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Our service helps you understand your biomarkers and empowers you to work with your healthcare provider for clinical decisions.

Question 20

What specific health areas and organ systems does Bloodwork cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover cardiovascular health (ApoB, lipids, cholesterol), metabolic health (glucose, HbA1c, insulin), thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4), hormones (testosterone, estrogen, cortisol), liver and kidney function, immune and inflammation markers (CRP, WBC), nutrition status (iron, vitamin D, B12, folate, omega-3), and blood cell health.

Question 21

Is my health data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your data is encrypted, stored securely, and never sold, shared, or monetized. We follow strict data protection practices and give you full control over your personal health information.

Question 22

Does Bloodwork sell or share my health information?

Accepted Answer

We do not sell your health data to advertisers or share it with third parties. We may use your data to send you personalized health recommendations and insights based on your results — these are part of the service and always relevant to your specific biomarker profile. Your data is never used for any other commercial purpose.

Question 23

Can I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can request deletion of all your personal data and health records from our system at any time. Once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

Question 24

What data do I need to provide to use the service?

Accepted Answer

You'll need an email address, basic health profile information (age, sex, health goals), and your blood test results. We only collect information that's necessary to deliver your personalized analysis.

Question 25

How much does Bloodwork cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is presented at the end of the health questionnaire, once we understand your needs. We offer accessible pricing because we believe everyone deserves to understand their health data — not just those who can afford a concierge doctor.
