Why is your profile so important? Well, if you're already taking an iron supplement, a recommendation to take an iron supplement won't be very helpful. And if you're a vegan, a recommendation to eat more fish won't sit very well. So it's incredibly important that, with each new InsideTracker blood test, your profile is updated to reflect your current habits.
With this in mind, we completely revamped the profile page and made it easier than ever to document your habits and get recommendations best suited for you. We added new supplements to our list, made space for you to add more detail about your workouts, and made our dietary habits section more intuitive. Now, updating your profile is smoother than ever.
So how do we do it? Well, your personalized report combines your DNA data with your blood test results to reveal a powerful picture of your body's potential. We look at the potential abilities and risks coded in your DNA, and we combine that information with your biomarkers. This exclusive "DNA + blood" analysis lets us really unlock your potential. When you know more, you can do more!
Keep in mind, genes are just one piece of your health story—your nutrition and lifestyle habits play a major role, and their effects can be seen in your blood test data. Armed with this information, you can take positive, targeted steps towards optimizing your body.
Want to learn more about DNA+blood. This page gives the rundown. You can also check out our FAQ page for more detail.
The tour provides the clearest possible rundown of the cutting-edge science that makes us unique, the powerful machine behind our ultra-personalized recommendations, and your experience after purchase. Ultimately, our goal in creating this feature was to answer as many commonly-asked questions about the power of InsideTracker as possible.

In May, we established a contract with a new mobile blood service partner. This allows us to cover customers in areas or situations in which getting to a Quest Diagnostics location simply isn't feasible. With our new partner, we're confident mobile blood draws will have higher quality and reliability. We're also working with this partner to solve New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island blood draw service issues and continue our services in those three states soon.
We were also getting lots of requests for supplement brands from our users, which we heard loud and clear. So our science team did the research to identify reputable brands in the market. Now, if you receive a recommendation for a supplement from InsideTracker, you'll also get a list of brands we recommend, purely based on safety and quality standards.
And finally, we expanded the ways you can reach us for support! We doubled the size of our team, so there's now significantly more manpower to field any questions you may have. And as of Fall 2019, you can now use our text support feature or phone support menu to reach the team most suited to handle your request. We also have a live demo option available to people in the US!
After three years of collaboration, GU Energy Labs innovated and created two new products based on what they saw from InsideTracker bloodwork of elite athletes: a magnesium and vitamin D combo and a probiotic supplement. Both are now available on their site!
We also started our very own traveling circus: The InsideTracker Road Show. The Road Show has been an awesome way to connect with InsideTracker users and runner communities all over the country. With each show, we had a group run and supported local businesses with our meet-ups. After our launch in Boulder, CO (pictured above), we also hit Flagstaff, AZ and San Francisco, CA. Stay tuned in 2020 for a Road Show near you!
