Every Product. Every Claim. Checked.
Most of what you will read about this gear was written by somebody who gets paid if you buy it. We check the manufacturer instead, and we put a date on it.
Eight products checked so far. Two of them
cannot pay us a cent, and are listed on the same terms. Launching 2026.
The ledger
Every number, signed and dated.
A public record of what we checked, what the internet publishes, and what the manufacturer actually says. Every entry came out of our own first draft, before this page ever went up.

We have not checked that one yet.
Tell us what you are shopping for and it goes on the list. You will hear from us when we have a number worth quoting.
The model
Gear, clinics, practitioners, and what to attend.
Four kinds of listing, one standard of proof. The category is what joins them, and that join is the entire reason to use a directory instead of a search engine.
01 / Product
BUY IT
Gear you can buy today
Nationwide, so location does not apply. Verified means the claim has been checked against the manufacturer and carries the date we checked it, which is why every price on this page has one.
02 / Clinic
VISIT OR CONTACT
Somewhere near you that runs it
A fixed address. Verified means the license and the accreditation rather than a star rating, because a rating tells you how somebody felt and a license tells you what they are allowed to do.
03 / Practitioner
BOOK, BY STATE
Someone licensed where you live
Listed by the states they are licensed in, not by how far away they are. We book you with them. We are not the ones providing the care, and we will never pretend otherwise.
04 / Event
REGISTER
Real, and on a real date
Summits, workshops and sessions that actually exist. Verified here is the simplest thing on the list: it is happening, and this is when.
Categories
What are you about to spend money on?
Every category carries the gear, the clinics that run it near you, the practitioners licensed where you live, and what the research actually supports. Three are checked and open. The rest say so.

Compare
The sticker price is almost never what you pay.
Three categories, eight products, every figure taken from the manufacturer rather than from another comparison page. One of these splits membership from consumables. One doubles depending on how long you commit.
Wearables
The one you buy once, or the one everyone wears
Hume is the quiet contender. Whoop is the incumbent. Two very different bets on whether you should keep paying for a wearable after you own it.
Checked at the source 29 August 2026| Hume Band 2.0 | Whoop 5.0 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $267 one time list $356 |
$199 to $359 a year One / Peak / Life |
| Subscription | Optional. Core tracking works without it. Premium insights are $8.99 a month. | Required. The membership is the product, and the hardware comes with it. |
| Battery | Up to 14 days | 14+ days |
| Standout | Metabolic capacity and biological age trend | Strain and recovery scoring |
| Best for | Long-term trend tracking with no recurring cost | Training load, recovery, and competition against yourself |
| The catch | Newer platform, so fewer third-party integrations | Stop paying and the band stops working |
What we corrected. Most comparisons still print 4 to 5 days for Whoop. That was the 4.0 hardware. The 5.0 runs 14+ days, which makes battery a wash between these two rather than a reason to pick one. We left the row in because deleting it would hide the correction.
We recheck this table against the manufacturer every month. Whoop's battery changed by ten days between hardware generations, and plenty of comparison pages still print the old figure.
Continuous Glucose
Three sensors on your arm, three very different bills
They all read the same thing. Where they split is what you get back, and how hard each one makes it to work out what you are actually paying.
Checked at the source 29 August 2026| Levels | Nutrisense | Stelo by Dexcom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real cost | About $199 a year for the app plus $100 to $200 a month for sensors |
$179 to $399 a month by commitment length |
$89 a month on subscription or $99 for two sensors |
| Sensor | Dexcom or Libre | Libre 3 | Stelo |
| Coaching | In-app insights and food logging | One to one registered dietitian | None. Data only. |
| Prescription | Yes, handled in-app | Yes, handled in-app | Not needed. Over the counter. |
| Own sensor? | No | Yes, $39 a month for the app alone | Not applicable |
| Best for | Self-directed tracking over a long stretch | Anyone who wants a human reading the data with them | The cheapest honest way to find out if you care |
What we corrected. Our own draft listed Levels at about $199 a month. That is the annual membership, and the sensors are separate on top of it. Nutrisense was listed as a single number when it is a range that more than doubles depending on how long you commit.
We track the real all-in cost, and we will send the codes the day we have them. One of these splits the membership from the sensors. One prices by how long you commit. The sticker number is almost never what you pay.
Blood Panels
Two of these three changed how they charge this year
All three test your blood. They disagree about how much of it should involve a lab, a clinician, and a yearly commitment.
Checked at the source 29 August 2026| Function Health | InsideTracker | SiPhox | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $365 for the first year renewal price not published |
$149 a year membership plus about $340 per Ultimate test |
$125 per testing period $225 for Ultimate 360 |
| Markers | 160+ lab tests a year | Up to 54 on Ultimate | Up to 60 on Ultimate 360 |
| How blood is taken | Lab draw at Quest or Getlabs, 2,000+ locations | Lab draw, or an at-home phlebotomist | At home with EasyDraw, an upper-arm device |
| Clinician review | Yes, every result | No | No. AI interpretation. |
| Cadence | Twice a year plus on demand | Whenever you buy a test | Monthly, quarterly, or twice a year |
| Best for | One thorough annual baseline with a doctor attached | Training and nutrition changes you act on | Testing often without booking anything |
What we corrected. SiPhox is not a finger prick. They say so plainly: no needles, no finger pricks. Function moved to $365, and their own footnote calls that the first-year price, so we are not calling it an annual rate until they publish the renewal. InsideTracker is now a membership plus per-test pricing, not a flat price per test.
We recheck this table quarterly. Function moved to $365. InsideTracker moved to a membership. Both happened quietly and most comparison pages have not caught up.
