You type your question in, and in return, you get an endless scroll of generic articles.  They’re written for everybody and nobody at once, and they talk all around your problem without actually solving it. You can waste an hour reading and end up more confused than you were before.  At InsideTracker, we built Terra™ to provide reliable, personalized health information you can use right away.  Terra is an AI health guide with direct access to your blood results and other personal health data. When you ask a health question, you get a direct, science-backed answer. You don’t have to hunt for information or wonder whether the advice applies to you. At the speed of typing, you can learn about your biomarkers, troubleshoot your symptoms, and find high-impact strategies for long-lasting health. And your conversations are entirely private, because Terra protects your information with [industry-leading security protocols](https://info.insidetracker.com/security).   If you’re an [InsideTracker member](https://blog.insidetracker.com/insidetracker-membership-faq), Terra is available to you now. How Terra works Terra is a large language model (LLM), which means you can "talk" to it using natural conversation.  But unlike other chat models, Terra has access to your health data. As a member, you can expect answers that take your personal health status into consideration. For instance: - Are you having sleep troubles?  - Feeling abnormal soreness after your workouts?  - Not sure which supplements you should be taking?  - Curious about which biomarkers are dragging your metabolism score down the most?  These are all perfect topics to explore with Terra.  Behind a simple, conversational interface, Terra sifts through reams of InsideTracker-approved data and information to give you direct, science-backed answers that cut through the noise of confusing, generic, and often inaccurate advice online. It’s like having a team of health experts always on call. ![Terra (4)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Terra%20(4).png?width=743&height=316&name=Terra%20(4).png) Here’s what Terra can “see” during your conversations:  - **Your blood data** Terra can access your most recent blood report. This allows it to give you personalized analysis and advice based on your current health status.  - **Your** [**Healthspan Category analysis**](https://blog.insidetracker.com/10-ways-to-quantify-and-improve-healthspan) Your category scores and data give Terra additional insight into key areas of your health, including your fitness, cognition, metabolism, and heart health. - **Your** [**health profile**](https://blog.insidetracker.com/complete-health-profile)**data** The self-reported details in your profile include information about your body composition, sleep habits, supplement intake, and food and exercise preferences. This ensures that you receive advice that makes sense for you. - **The InsideTracker knowledge base** Terra will never share information from random blogs or Reddit threads. It relies solely on science-backed educational material approved by InsideTracker. ![1-3](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1-3.gif?width=743&height=389&name=1-3.gif) How Terra is different from other AI models With most AI models, every user gets the same experience. The chatbot has access to the same information for everybody. And without proper safeguards, information you share could be re-shared to someone else.  But with Terra: - You get a completely personalized experience based on your body’s data. - Your information remains walled off from the rest of the world, so it's safe.  - You can have a personalized conversation at any time. Since Terra has automatic access to data you’ve added to your InsideTracker dashboard, you don't have to "train" it about yourself. Plus, there's the matter of reliability. With generic AI models, there’s a big question of confidence. It’s not unusual for an AI agent to go rogue with off-topic tirades or pseudo-scientific ideas it picks up from dubious sources. Terra won't do this. - Terra is constrained with guardrails that ensure it can only offer reliable, science-backed health information. - In testing, 9 in 10 InsideTracker members said they trusted Terra’s advice and insights. (This signals a significant advantage over other AI models, which often have low consumer trust in regards to health and wellness.) Terra won’t help you code or write your next novel, but for topics related to health and [healthspan](https://www.insidetracker.com/a/articles/healthspan-more-important-than-your-lifespan), it delivers expert advice you can rely on. Terra in action Let’s say you’ve been struggling during cardio workouts. You type: “I’ve been getting winded fast lately. What’s going on?”  Before answering, Terra quickly sifts through your personal health data. Because it’s AI, it can find and connect dozens of datapoints almost instantly, and it can cross-reference those with InsideTracker-approved science.  Immediately, Terra recognizes that your [vitamin D levels](https://blog.insidetracker.com/are-you-deficient-in-vitamin-d) are just below optimized. Plus your [creatine kinase](https://blog.insidetracker.com/a-roadmap-to-increasing-durability-of-the-body-enter-creatine-kinase) has recently gone up, which could signal muscle damage.  From here, Terra will walk you through the options for increasing your vitamin D and give you advice on how to improve your recovery between workouts.  With Terra, you’ll get an explanation that’s unique to you and a solution that aligns with the preferences you shared in your health profile. Your conversations are personal, specific, and secure. That’s something other AI models can’t promise. ![Group 1980470996 (1)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%201980470996%20(1).png?width=743&height=438&name=Group%201980470996%20(1).png) How to access Terra Terra is available on either a desktop browser or inside the mobile app. But you have to be an InsideTracker member to use it.  **>> If you’re not yet a member, click here to** [start your membership](https://store.insidetracker.com/)**.** - **Desktop access**: Log in and look for “Ask Terra” on the navigation bar at the **top of the screen**.  - **Mobile access:** Log in to the InsideTracker app and look for “Ask Terra” on the navigation bar at **the bottom of the screen.**  5 ways to use Terra The best way to get to know Terra is to start a conversation. Here are five ways to kick one off. **1.

You might find there’s an explanation in your recent blood work.  **2. Discover new ways to hit your health goals** Terra is a great planning partner. If you’re setting out to hit a new health goal (such as [lose weight](https://www.insidetracker.com/a/articles/want-to-lose-weight-pay-attention-to-your-bloodwork), improve your [VO2max](https://www.insidetracker.com/a/articles/why-vo2max-matters-for-your-healthspan), or reduce symptoms of an [inflammatory condition](https://www.insidetracker.com/a/articles/hidden-dangers-of-inflammation-how-much-crp-level-is-dangerous)), you can kickstart your planning with Terra.   **3. Get to know your blood biomarkers** What the heck is “transferrin saturation,” and how does it affect your body’s endurance? If you’re uncertain about how your blood results relate to your day-to-day life, Terra can help.  **4. Assess your supplement routine** Not sure if you should be taking [magnesium](https://www.insidetracker.com/a/articles/magnesium-improve-sleep-memory-and-mood)? Curious how your creatine powder will affect your [creatine kinase](https://blog.insidetracker.com/a-roadmap-to-increasing-durability-of-the-body-enter-creatine-kinase) biomarker levels? Run your supplements through Terra to find out if your routine is the best option for your current health.  **5. Identify the best foods for your body** Here’s a question you can try right now. Just log in and ask: “Based on my blood results, which foods should I be eating more of?” You might be surprised by the answer.   [![shop-1](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shop-1.jpg?width=750&height=291&name=shop-1.jpg)](http://store.insidetracker.com) #### Biohack Your Health with 100 Healthy Habits ![Healthy Habits (1)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Healthy%20Habits%20(1).png?width=1189&height=436&name=Healthy%20Habits%20(1).png) ### Live longer with InsideTracker [How an InsideTracker Membership Uses Data to Add Healthy Years to Your Life](https://blog.insidetracker.com/insidetracker-membership-benefits) ###### By InsideTracker, June 27, 2024 [How the Latest Scientific Research Becomes an InsideTracker Recommendation](https://blog.insidetracker.com/how-the-latest-scientific-research-becomes-insidetracker-recommendation) ###### By Domenique Riedel, MS, November 22, 2023 [How to Use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) in Your Health Journey](https://blog.insidetracker.com/longevity-by-design-podcast-ai-llms-health) ###### By Longevity by Design, September 26, 2024 [![Get started with InsideTracker -- ebook download ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/419889/8b2c194e-aa7a-4877-9080-adcaeff8a5b8.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/419889/8b2c194e-aa7a-4877-9080-adcaeff8a5b8) ### Learn more #### Get the most from InsideTracker [![](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hubfs/Group%201980470996%20(1).png)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/ask-terra) [How to use Terra, InsideTracker’s AI Health Guide](https://blog.insidetracker.com/ask-terra) [![](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hubfs/Frame%2071163.png)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/healthspan-habit-report) [How Your “Healthspan Habit Report” Makes You Healthier Every Week](https://blog.insidetracker.com/healthspan-habit-report) [View all articles](https://blog.insidetracker.com/topic/podcast) #### Recent articles [![](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hubfs/86dzy7kt4%20-%20Inside%20Tracker%20-%20Longevity%20by%20Design%20-%20Dr.%20Andrea%20Maier%20-%20Episode%20Thumbnail_01.jpg)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/do-longevity-supplements-really-work) [Do Longevity Supplements Really Work?](https://blog.insidetracker.com/do-longevity-supplements-really-work) March 30, 2026 [![](https://blog.insidetracker.com/hubfs/86dztppxp%20-%20Inside%20Tracker%20-%20Longevity%20by%20Design%20-%20Dr.%20Uri%20Alon%20-%20Episode%20Thumbnail_01.jpg)](https://blog.insidetracker.com/what-houses-garbage-and-trucks-teach-us-about-aging-with-dr.-uri-alon) [What Houses, Garbage, and Trucks Teach Us About Aging with Dr. Uri Alon](https://blog.insidetracker.com/what-houses-garbage-and-trucks-teach-us-about-aging-with-dr.-uri-alon) March 28, 2026 [View all articles](https://blog.insidetracker.com/all) ##### Company -
