MCP = win!!

Hi Goodlabs team - MANY thanks for creating the MCP, in and will find great use of it.

Any discussion on OAuth token persistence via ssh? I'm gaining access via the specific host, but no callback auth via ssh.

If its not in current scope, I'm betting many AI users have a dedicated headless setup that could benefit from this, myself included.

Again - many thanks for the MCP!

Pending results

This is my first time using good labs, and I had a question about pending results. I understand that results are added as labs are completed, but I ordered the men’s comprehensive panel, and then a week later added the IGF-1 and z-score tests to the panel.

When I look at the portal, it shows my remaining results that are still being worked on, everything except the added IGF-1. On the lab order PDF, it does not show the “awaiting results” for this either.

My question is: is it common for them to not show a test that is waiting for results? Is the PDF not including the test because it was a separate addition? Should I be calling them to find out where my blood is lol

Just want to say, I'm glad I found Goodlabs to get a better view of my health despite my doctor

It's the first time using goodlabs and though I read issues about the interface, it seems much better than other discount labs websites. I'm very thankful that I can get my labs at a reasonable price.

I've had some people ask me why I'd pay out of pocket when I can go through my insurance to get them free. Yeah, that would be true... if my doctor (and I'm sure many others) would order the tests I ask for. I've been through three doctors in 20 years (not a ton to choose from with my insurance) and they all say they want proactive patients and to have a partnership with patients for their health and wellness. Well, that's never been my experience. Anytime I ask for labs I've done research on, it's like I get the traditional eye roll or an outright, no I won't order that, it's not needed. Plus, my doctor only orders tests like the A1C and Cholestrol once a year, and I found that mine has been pretty high for years and he's never said anything at all.

It's just nice to have a place that I can order what my doctor refuses, like reverse T3 or ApoB. It really feels like doctors don't want to see a whole picture of health for patients and don't really want focus on preventative testing vs only finding out when it's really bad and there's a problem....but they sure sell you that on your first visit and "about me" videos.

It's just going to be awkward having to show my doctor the results of the tests he refused to order for me. I want to take control of my poor health...I just don't get why so many doctors seem to not want to help with that. Anyone else?
