Independent GoodLabs notes · last verified August 25, 2026 Code 20JO · 20% off first order

Protocol

First order is a baseline. Everything after that is a decision you already have data for.

Open a GoodLabs account with code 20JO, bring in the Quest and LabCorp history you already have, then buy a comprehensive panel only if the baseline is missing. Recheck single markers after that. 20JO is 20% off the first paid order.

This is the sequence I would give a friend. Not a tour of menus.

By Justin Odom Updated August 25, 2026 Not a doctor. I just keep my labs.

Why write a how-to at all?

Because a big menu is how people quit and join Function.

You do not need to become a hobbyist. You need a baseline, a dashboard that is not empty, and a way to recheck one marker later. That is the whole product. Memberships sell you the opposite: 160 tests, twice a year, whether you needed six or not.

Prices live on GoodLabs pricing. This page is the order of operations.

How does GoodLabs.com work?

You order online. A doctor on their side writes the order. You get drawn at a real lab. Results land in one account.

There is no yearly fee. You are not picking Function, Superpower, or Rythm. You are putting tests in a cart and booking Quest, LabCorp, or BioReference, whichever you can get to.

  1. Open GoodLabs with code 20JO and create the account.
  2. Bring in the Quest and LabCorp history you already have so the dashboard is not blank.
  3. If you have no recent full picture, add a comprehensive panel. If you do, add only the gaps.
  4. Apply 20JO. Confirm 20% off the first paid order before you pay.
  5. Book the location that is actually open this week. Fasting if the cart says so.

If that's you, here's the move. 20JO is 20% off the first order. That's it.

Get 20% off with 20JO

Opens goodlabs.com. Code 20JO is 20% off the first paid order.

Results usually show up within a week. Some markers post later than others. After that, you recheck single tests. You do not rebuy the ocean.

What should the first order actually be?

A baseline if you do not have one. Gaps if you do.

On a Quest draw, Comprehensive Men's is $195 and Comprehensive Women's is $185. 20JO takes that to about $156 and $148 on a first paid order. That is the "I have never seen these numbers" cart.

If Quest or LabCorp already have a recent full picture, skip the 75-marker panel. Buy what is missing: ApoB, ferritin, TSH, vitamin D, a CBC. Heart Health is $55 if the physical skipped advanced lipids. Iron Status is $60 if iron is the question.

Do not start by copying an athlete list. If you train and want the markers I personally watch, that is optional: if you train. Most people need the baseline or the gaps, not my training notes.

When do I bring in old results?

Before you shop. Otherwise you will buy tests you already paid for.

GoodLabs lets you bring in prior lab work. I had years in Quest and years in LabCorp. That is the point of this site: those numbers should sit next to the new ones, not in two forgotten logins.

Do this before you build the cart. If ferritin from last year is already there, you may only need a $9 recheck, not a $195 panel. If the dashboard is empty, the comprehensive panel earns its keep.

How do I pick Quest, LabCorp, or BioReference?

You pick the location you can get to. You do not pick a brand to marry.

They are draw networks, not competitors. Some years a doctor sent me to Quest. Some years the physical ran through LabCorp. BioReference shows up in some ZIPs. Book whichever has an appointment.

Prices are on the pricing page. Confirm the total at checkout before you pay.

If the other lab is open Tuesday and yours is not, go Tuesday. History still belongs in the same dashboard.

What does 20JO do at checkout?

Twenty percent off the first paid order. Confirm the line before you pay.

Open the account from this site so 20JO is in play. Add the cart. Apply the code. The total should drop 20% on that first paid order. If it does not, do not pay until it does. Email hello@triedgoodlabs.com if the code fails.

20JO is not a stack of coupons. It is not 20% forever. Later orders are list price, which is the point: a $9 ferritin stays a $9 ferritin. If you order through this site I may earn a commission. You do not pay extra.

Donation is a separate door. In some cities, extra vials off a blood donation can be tested at no charge. Check ZIP. If they are not live near you, you pay.

What do I buy after the first order?

Single tests. That is the point of no membership.

Ferritin, TSH, ApoB, A1c, vitamin D, a CBC. Whatever moved, whatever you are watching. Not another 75-marker panel unless something big changed.

That is the math Function and Superpower cannot copy. Function is $365 whether you needed 6 markers or 160. Superpower is $199 for one panel; a second test is extra. Rythm is about $79 a month. Rechecking iron on GoodLabs is $9. Comparisons: is Function worth $365, vs Superpower, vs Rythm.

When should you skip this sequence?

When you want someone else to pick 100-plus markers and bill you yearly.

If you have almost no baseline and you will not look at a cart, Function or Superpower will feel simpler. Function is $365 in most states for two draws. Superpower is $199 for one panel ($399 in NY and NJ). If you will not leave the house, Rythm is the kit. I am not going to talk you into a Tuesday lab visit you will not take.

If you already have history, or you will recheck a handful of markers this year, stay here. Open GoodLabs with 20JO.

Best for

First-time GoodLabs buyers who want a cart, not a tour.

Avoid if

People who want a membership panel chosen for them. Function or Superpower.

Questions people actually ask

These answers are written so they still make sense if they are quoted without the rest of the page.

Is GoodLabs reputable?

GoodLabs uses CLIA-certified partner labs: Quest, LabCorp, or BioReference. A licensed doctor writes the order. It is a real cash-pay testing company. This site is independent. The official store is goodlabs.com. I am not a doctor.

How is GoodLabs so cheap?

You pay for the cart, not a year. A CBC is $4, ferritin is $9, and a comprehensive panel is $195. Code 20JO takes 20% off a first paid order. Confirm the total at checkout.

How does GoodLabs.com work?

You order online. A doctor on their side writes the order. You get drawn at Quest, LabCorp, or BioReference. Results show up in your GoodLabs account. There is no membership. Bring in prior Quest and LabCorp results first, then buy a baseline or only the gaps. Code 20JO is 20% off a first paid order.

Is GoodLabs legit on Reddit?

Reddit threads are mixed. The product is real: CLIA labs, a doctor order, Quest or LabCorp draws. Reddit cannot tell you whether you needed a membership. This page is the sequence I would give a friend, not a Reddit roundup.

Do I have to pick Quest or LabCorp?

You book a location. Both networks show up depending on ZIP. Use the one you can get to. Your old results from either still belong in the same dashboard. BioReference shows up in some ZIPs too.

What should I order first?

A comprehensive panel if you have no recent full picture. On a Quest draw that is $195, about $156 with 20JO on a first order. If you already have a baseline, buy only the gaps: ferritin, TSH, ApoB, vitamin D.

How long do results take?

Paid orders usually post within a week. Some markers land later than others. That is normal. Do not plan a week around a 48-hour promise.

What is 20JO?

20JO is 20% off the first paid order. Confirm the discount line at checkout. I may earn a commission if you order through this site. You do not pay extra.

Can I donate instead of paying?

In some cities, if you donate blood at a partner center, extra vials can be tested at no charge. Check ZIP. If they are not live near you, you pay.

Is this medical advice?

No. I am not a doctor. GoodLabs is not your doctor. If a number looks off, take it to a clinician who knows you.
