This App Helps You Reach Your Health Goals With Your Body's Data
If you're like me, this last year has been an all-time-low for physical & mental health. Couch potato doesn't even begin to cover it, my fitness routine, dieting habits, and sleep hygiene all took a nosedive. So when the world began opening back up, needless to say, I was ready to rebuild an active, fulfilling lifestyle. I just needed a little help, a little direction, a little support. So at a friend's recommendation, I started my next chapter with Base, a revolutionary new company that combines accredited lab testing with personalized health recommendations to build a wellness plan that perfectly suited my goals. Since I started my customized program, Base has helped me find the spark & the drive to improve all areas of my life.
So what is Base exactly? In short, it's a company that provides testing of your blood and/or saliva — along with gathering information about your habits and behavior — to implement wellness recommendations and help you kickstart a new, holistic approach to bettering your life. The sign-up could not have been simpler! I started with Base's on-site quiz which had me identify which areas of my life needed improvement. As a regular 9-6'r who loves his delivery pizza a bit too much, I focused on sleep, energy, and diet. The introductory walkthrough also offered different membership plans based on testing frequency, so I could pick the best program that fit my budget! After submitting the final pieces of information, Base sent over a personalized 3-month plan within minutes and my journey was underway!
My test kit arrived with comprehensive instructions so I could take and submit my sample straight from home. I am about as squeamish as it gets when it comes to needles, but submitting a blood sample was so quick & easy that it barely registered as anything more than the slightest prick of the finger. And even if that is too much, you always have the option to submit a saliva sample instead. I packaged up and sent off the sample, already buzzing with anticipation. Within a few weeks, the test results were downloaded to my Base app and Base delivered a full breakdown of my vitamin & hormone levels directly to my phone. The app walked me through the science of these biometrics, providing a robust education on what's going on in my body and how Base's recommendations would factor that data to help me reach my goals.
I've now been working with Base for close to a month now and the results have blown me away! After a year of restless nights, Base's combined a supplement plan with healthy practices to help settle my bedtime woes. I've also incorporated a personalized vitamin regimen into suggested diet plans and seen a marked increase in mood, energy levels, and just general sense of well-being. And the best part? Now that I'm on track with those initial objectives, I can update Base with new aims to make sure that the journey continues! I'll be sending out another sample this week to see how far I've progressed as well as where there's still room for improvement. Even though I've only taken the first steps towards a happier, healthier me, Base's data-driven approach and distinctly personal touch have made the road ahead less daunting. So take it from me, whether you have a singular health issue you want to address or you're a health nut who likes having data on your body, Base is right for you. Visit the Base website, take the quiz, and begin your own health journey with Base at your side.
