At home vital checks, lab work, etc.

Hi! I'm a newcomer into the world of peptides and want to do the most possible to make sure all my research goes smoothly. I've heard it is a good idea to keep track of vitals like heart rate and such, and the "Get Labs / Blood Work" tab under "Calc & Tools" caught my eye as well. I'm wondering if any more experienced researchers have opinions they'd like to share when it comes to this stuff! I'm curious about what you think is important to keep track of as well as what type of monitoring can be done in house and if so what kind of materials are needed to do so. I'm not above visiting a lab to get tests done for the things I can't accomplish on my own if it's worth it, but I'm also curious to see what can be done at home as for me personally running the tests is just as fun as getting the results back. Also curious if anyone has knowledge or resources for interpreting results and how that can be used to make choices regarding peptide stacks and whatnot! As a beginner really anything is helpful and I'm curious to hear your thoughts and opinions :)) (Apologies in advance if I've used any tags incorrectly or if this belongs in another category, I'm still getting the lay of the land! I've tagged glp3-r as that is the peptide I'm most interested in researching at the moment)

Hey and welcome! I didn't start my bloodwork until the second month, so I'm glad you've already seen to do that. I use Rythm (recommended by some folks here) because it's relatively inexpensive and convenient. I actually started with my own spreadsheet but I kept adding pages as I learned more and charted more. Eventually I had Rythm bloodwork, GKI daily numbers, knock-off Dexa daily numbers, knock off oura ring numbers, as well as multiple peps to keep up with, so I had Claude build me a program to chart everything and then give me a weekly summary. It's fascinating stuff!
You can get as detailed or basic as you'd like. I've learned a ton reading this site. -
