Ultrahuman Blood Vision review – Knowledge is power for your health

REVIEW – I’ve just turned 61 years old, and I hope to live at least three more decades, as there are many exciting things to do and new gadgets to test and write about. However, living well is just as important as living long. To do that, you need information about your body and a plan to improve and maintain your health. I was excited to accept an offer to be one of the first people to try Ultrahuman’s latest addition to its health ecosystem, Blood Vision. Let me roll up my sleeve and tell you more about it.

Biomarkers include:

• Cardiovascular: ApoB, Lp(a)
• Metabolic: Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR
• Hormonal: Free testosterone, TSH
• Inflammatory: hs-CRP, IL-6
• Longevity: Biological age metrics

My health history

I already mentioned that I’m 61 years old. Yeah, I can’t believe it either. 😉 I’m also pre-diabetic and have been since 2004. I don’t take any prescribed medications for that condition because I am able and have been able to control and lower my A1C levels over the years to keep it under a full-blown diabetic level (>= 6.5% is the diabetic range). I’ve hovered around 5.5 – 5.8 in the last few years just by keeping carbs low and working out. However, in the last few years, my cholesterol levels have started to inch up into bad ranges due to eating a pseudo-Keto diet. Oh, I also had breast cancer back in 2011 and went through and survived that adventure. Ok, with all that out of the way, let’s get on to Ultrahuman’s Blood Vision.

The process

To order the Blood Vision blood tests, you go to the Vision tab in the Ultrahuman app that is used with their Ultrahuman fitness tracking rings and Home products.

After you order the test, it will be scheduled at a local lab (you can choose from a list of labs near you). For me, that was a Quest Diagnostics lab, about 45 minutes from my home. The app and text messages keep you up to date with the appointment time, location, and preparation instructions.

The test experience

I followed the instructions leading up to test day, including stopping supplements (I only take a multivitamin, Turmeric, and Fish oil on a daily basis). I also made sure to fast before the test and started drinking more water than normal the day before and on the test day, as I sometimes have problems with blood tests due to likely being chronically dehydrated most of the time.

The night before the test, I checked to see how long it would take to drive up to the lab and set the alarm to make sure I got up in time and had plenty of time to get there. I hate being late for appointments! The night before, I also made the mistake of looking at the lab order too closely, because I saw that it said there would be 12 vials of blood drawn. Twelve?! Ack!

The morning of the test, I drank a bunch of water over a couple of hours before we had to leave. Then when we got in the car to leave, I checked Google Maps and now it was saying that it was going to take an hour to get there instead of only 45 minutes. And to make matters worse, it started raining… a lot. I hate driving on the busy interstate when it’s pouring rain. So my stress level was pretty high.

We made it to the lab a couple of minutes late, but I didn’t miss the appointment. The technician was awesome and I didn’t feel a thing. I didn’t even have a bruise afterward. And yes, there were 12 vials. You can see them in that first image above. After the test, I went home and waited for the results. There was also a urine test. Whee!

Here are the tests that were listed on my lab order:

The results

My blood draw took place on a Friday morning and the results started trickling in over the weekend. Note that not all the results come in at one time. Some of the test results can take up to a month to show up like the lead and mercury levels test. This is one area where I think Ultrahuman needs to better set customers’ expectations so they know what to expect.

Each time new results arrived, the Ultrahuman app alerted me so that I could go in and check the results. The results are displayed in an easy to understand format where green is good (normal), and then different shades from yellow to red represent elevated or high levels.

In addition to showing the number or percentage for each test result, you can click through for more information about that specific biomarker. For example, my mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration was 31.9%. I had no idea what that even was, so clicking through gave me the definition and the ranges. Note that not all biomarkers provide a definition / more information. I think that’s another area where Ultrahuman needs to improve.

Blood age

I ended up having quite a few numbers out of range for biomarkers dealing with my blood sugar and cholesterol. I was super surprised and concerned that my A1C had jumped from 5.8 up to 6.2 in just 5 months. Argh. Bad Julie eating too much junk. According to Ultrahuman’s interpretation of my test results, means that my blood age is 5 years older than my real age. Well crud, that will teach me for getting off the health wagon.

FYI: My cortisol (stress hormone) result was really high – I think because of the trip up to the lab, fear of being late, driving on the interstate in a downpour of rain, and knowing they would be taking 12 vials of blood 😉

I did notice something odd. The report is counting my triglycerides reading as a bad reading when it’s actually a good reading… You want your triglycerides to be lower than 150mg/dl, and mine is 49.0 mg/dl. I don’t see why it’s marking it as out of range.

Ultrahuman provides advice for improvement

This is where I want to mention that the initial panel includes 100+ biomarkers, and the follow-up test does not include all 100+ tests. It analyzes a subset of 60+ key markers, covering cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, and longevity-related categories. These are chosen for their ability to reveal meaningful trends based on prior results. There’s also no fixed schedule for when the follow-up tests must be used, though Ultrahuman suggests that users retest after 3 to 6 months.

Receiving abnormal/bad results is obviously not something I wanted to happen, but I appreciate that Ultrahuman provides advice for improving the results for the follow-up test.

The app offers supplements to take along with dosages and even references medical studies to support the advice. I ordered the recommended supplements (on my own dime) and will see what happens after taking them for 3-4 months. I will report back with a review update at that time to discuss my new results and to show if my numbers have improved. Fingers crossed! For now, it’s time to get on the treadmill!

Final thoughts

Trying out the Ultrahuman Blood Vision test was a real eye-opener for me. I’ve reviewed hundreds of gadgets in my day, but this one hit a little closer to home since it’s all about my own personal health and not just counting steps or tracking sleep, but showing me exactly what’s going on inside my body. For someone like me who’s trying to stay ahead of health problems and live a long, active life, this kind of info is priceless.

What stands out most is how much data you get with 100 biomarkers! It’s like getting a detailed roadmap of your health, not just a random snapshot. If you’ve ever gotten a standard blood test at your yearly checkup and thought, “That’s it?” then Blood Vision will blow your mind. Plus, the included follow-up panel means you’ll actually see if your efforts are moving the needle.

The whole process from signing up in the Ultrahuman app to getting reminders, showing up at the lab, and checking results through the app was straightforward. Although having a dozen vials of blood drawn was intimidating, the appointment was smooth, and I appreciated that the app kept me informed after every result came in.

There’s still room for improvement, of course. Not every biomarker result comes with a clear explanation. Also, it would help if Ultrahuman was more up front about how long it takes to get each result, since some can take much longer than others.

The advice and supplement suggestions from the app are helpful (hopefully), of course, you should check with your doctor before making big changes to your health routine. I’m curious to see if the upcoming months (and treadmill sessions) will help improve my numbers, especially since I’ll be able to check progress with that follow-up test.

Would I recommend Ultrahuman Blood Vision? If you’re serious about getting super-detailed insight into your health and want a clear plan for making improvements, it’s hard to beat. At $500, it’s a big investment, but for me, knowing what’s really going on inside my body (and having a way to track my progress) is worth it. Here’s to living and living well for years to come!
