I Tried Lifeforce & It Gave Me Health Info My Doctor Missed For Years

As much as I prioritize movement, nourishing foods, and my mental health, I often wonder if there are better choices I could be making to truly optimize my well-being. You know, choices that are more unique to what my body needs—not just the generalized recommendations from my physician.

That’s what initially drew me to Lifeforce, a proactive diagnostic service designed to improve your health and quality of life through a comprehensive blood analysis and a personalized plan of action. I tested Lifeforce earlier this month, and I was genuinely shocked by my results. 

Lifeforce was founded by molecular biologist and doctor Peter Diamandis, M.D., and motivational speaker Tony Robbins. 

The diagnostic service is designed to give you a comprehensive look into your overall well-being, so you can take a proactive approach to living a longer, healthier life. 

Through an at-home blood test (performed by a phlebotomist), Lifeforce Diagnostic measures more than 40 biomarkers to gain a full picture of your mental and physical health. 

After signing up for Lifeforce Diagnostic, you’ll first be prompted to schedule your blood draw appointment. You can choose to have a phlebotomist come to your home or office, or head to a local Labcorp location. 

Next, you’ll complete an intake assessment to provide information on your current health, lifestyle habits, medical history, and your goal(s) for working with Lifeforce.

Lifeforce says you’ll receive your results approximately 10 business days after your blood draw. My results were available in exactly one week (more on those in a few).

Your results will breakdown how you’re performing against over 40 biomarkers relating to your hormonal health, metabolic health, organ health, and more. 

Once your blood analysis is complete you’ll be able to schedule a 60-minute appointment with a Lifeforce clinician to review your results, ask questions, and discuss recommendations to optimize your health.

Again, the purpose of Lifeforce is to help users optimize quality of life through a proactive approach to their health and well-being. The initial blood draw and telehealth consultation arm you with the tools to do that—but the membership takes it a step further by providing you with resources along your health optimization journey.

The Lifeforce Diagnostic kit on its own is $549. This includes the at-home (or in-lab) blood draw, full access to the Lifeforce dashboard, and the telehealth consultation. 

As you can see, I lead a pretty healthy life (I work for mindbodygreen, afterall). And yet, I still have a few areas of my health I think could be optimized.

Like I said, my blood draw was pretty seamless. I’m not the most comfortable with needles, and my phlebotomist did an amazing job of keeping me relaxed as she took my blood. 

My appointment was just days before Christmas, so I expected some delays with the results—but I received an email that my results were ready just one week after the blood draw.

I was able to immediately log into my Lifeforce account and view a detailed breakdown of all 40+ biomarkers tested, and it was time for me to set up my telehealth consult. Unfortunately, the soonest availability was over two weeks away. 

Two red flags were raised in my results: my A1C level was in the prediabetic range and my cholesterol levels were elevated. Carlson noted that these were top priorities because “cardiovascular disease1 remains one of the top preventable causes of early death and disability.”

The preliminary note also flagged that a few hormone biomarkers were out of range, which Carlson said could be due to where I was in my cycle when the blood was taken. Additionally, my vitamin D level was on the low end (a common issue with most American adults).

A couple weeks later in my telehealth consultation, Carlson asked personalized questions about my health, lifestyle, and goals. She then went through a deep dive of my results, explaining any abnormalities and providing additional actionable insights.

I was pretty shocked to learn about my elevated blood sugar and cholesterol, especially considering my active lifestyle, generally healthy diet, and no genetic history that I know of. Admittedly, I did spend the two weeks between my results and the telehealth visit feeling a bit nervous about these abnormalities—but, just like the phlebotomist, Carlson made me feel comfortable and at ease. 

I asked a lot of questions and she provided detailed responses (and was extremely patient even though we went beyond the one hour mark). I left the consult actually feeling excited about my plan to optimize my health. 

After learning about the key areas of my health that need improvement, I immediately wanted to sign up for the Lifeforce membership.

Per Carlson's recommendation, I'll be taking a vitamin D and vitamin K supplement to support my bone, immune, heart, and muscle health, along with an Omega supplement to help regulate my blood sugar, boost my mood, and fight inflammation2.*

I’ll also be implementing the Mediterranean diet in an effort to regular my blood sugar3 and cholesterol levels. 

Yes, Lifeforce Diagnostic is worth it. In just a few weeks, I gained more insights about my health than I have in any annual checkup with my physician.

Both the in-home blood draw and the telehealth consult were extremely convenient. I can’t believe everything I learned about my well-being without even leaving my home!

Most importantly, I have an actionable plan to optimize my health—and I’m actually excited about it!

Lifeforce Diagnostic is an extremely valuable asset for anyone who already feels healthy but wants to further optimize their quality of life. To get the most out of Lifeforce, you need to be serious about improving your health and willing to make lifestyle changes to do so.
