I was curious how legit Rythm Health blood tests were so I decided to try them side by side with my annual physical and blood test. Rythm seemed too good to be true with the tiny vial you fill then send in and it hit like 30 biomarkers for $100 after shipping. But I figured it was worth a shot. I took the blood draws less than an hour apart. Here are the results I got.
Total Testosterone ng/dl
Quest: 370 Rythm: 472
Free T3 pg/ml
Quest: 3.5 Rythm: 2.6
HDL mg/dl
Quest: 37 Rythm: 38
LDL mg/dl
Quest: 104 Rythm:112
Total Cholesterol mg/dl
Quest: 157 Rythm: 161
HDLC Ratio
Quest: 4.2 Rythm: 4.2
Triglycerides mg/dl
Quest: 69 Rythm: 55
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone mlU/ml
Quest: 1.4 Rythm:1.9
Albumin g/dl
Quest: 4.6 Rythm: 3.8
There were a bunch of other tests on both sides that didn’t overlap covering many different biomarkers. The great thing about quest is that my insurance covers a lot of tests and I can get anything else I want tested if I have the money. But scheduling the tests and getting them approved can be a PITA sometimes.
I like that Rythm is easy and convenient. Other than the Testosterone, it seems to be fairly accurate compared to Quest. And it’s fairly cheap. The biggest downside for me is that it’s a set panel of tests and you cant customize the it. I hear they are working on being able to add tests that you want like IGF-1, but who knows when it will be implemented.
In conclusion, I’m pretty happy with the results of Rythm. I will probably continue the subscription on a quarterly basis or more frequently as needed. I like their set panel of tests but look forward to having the option to add-on more tests that I want.
