Clinician review

Ask a doctor.

An algorithm shouldn't be the last word on your health. Send any ThriveBiome result to a licensed physician and get a written response: what the numbers mean for someone with your history, what's worth acting on first, and what to raise with your own doctor.

This is not for emergencies.

If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, weakness on one side, severe bleeding, thoughts of harming yourself, or anything else that feels urgent — call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department now. Reviews here are written within two business days and are not monitored around the clock.

01

How a Review Works

You send a result and a question. A physician reads both against what you've told us about your history and medications, then writes back in plain language.

1

You send it

Pick the assessment you want looked at and say what you're actually wondering. "Is my inflammation score something to worry about?" is a better question than "please review" — the more specific you are, the more useful the answer.

Two minutes
2

We attach your data

Your scores, the inputs behind them and any medications or conditions you've listed go across with the request, so the physician isn't reading a number without context.

A physician reads it

A licensed doctor with a background in metabolic or longevity medicine goes through the result, your question, and anything in your profile that changes the picture.

You get it in writing

A written response in your portal: what the result means, what's worth doing first, what to ignore, and what to take to your own clinician. Yours to keep and to share.

What a Review Can and Can't Do

Worth reading before you send anything, so the answer you get back is the one you were hoping for.

What you'll get

  • Your results explained in plain language, in the context of your own history
  • Which findings matter most, and which are noise at your age and baseline
  • Whether a protocol we generated is sensible for someone taking your medications
  • Which labs are worth asking your own doctor to order next, and why
  • Questions to bring to an appointment, written so a clinician can act on them
  • A flag if something in your results should be looked at sooner rather than later

What it isn't

  • Not a diagnosis — that needs an examination and a doctor–patient relationship
  • No prescriptions, refills or dose changes to anything you currently take
  • Not urgent care, and not monitored overnight or at weekends
  • Not a second opinion on a diagnosis your own physician has already made
  • No referrals, imaging orders or sign-off on paperwork
  • Not a replacement for your primary care doctor, and not trying to be

Who Reads Your Results

Every reviewer is a physician licensed to practise in the United States, with credentials verified before they see a single result.

Licensed and verified

Active MD or DO licences, checked against the state board before onboarding and re-checked annually. No students, no scribes, no offshore review mills.

The right specialty

Backgrounds in internal, metabolic, functional and longevity medicine. Your request is routed to someone who reads these markers regularly, not to whoever is free.

Your data stays yours

Reviewers see only what your request includes, for as long as the review is open. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with an insurer or an employer. Ever.

See a Doctor

A written review answers a question. Sometimes you want an appointment — someone who can examine you, order labs under their own licence, and follow you over time. These clinicians know our assessments and will read your results with you.

Preview — these profiles are AI-generated examples.

Dr. Smith, Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Lee are placeholders showing how the directory will look. They are not real clinicians and cannot be booked. Real partner physicians, with verified licences, will replace them before this page goes live.

Dr. Jane Smith

Dr. Jane Smith

MD  ·  Internal Medicine

Metabolic health · Insulin resistance · Preventive care

Internal medicine with a focus on metabolic health — insulin resistance, lipid and inflammatory markers, and the slow drift in bloodwork that usually gets called “normal” until it is not. Appointments are long enough to go through a full report rather than a single number.

Good fit if your metabolic or pace-of-aging results need a physician who can order follow-up labs and stay with you across re-tests.

Dr. Ana Rodriguez
AI example

Dr. Ana Rodriguez

DO  ·  Functional Medicine

Gut health · Inflammation · Therapeutic nutrition

Osteopathic medicine combined with functional and microbiome-informed practice. Works on gut-driven inflammation, digestive symptoms that have not responded to a standard workup, and turning a microbiome report into food you actually eat.

Good fit if your microbiome or inflammation scores are the thing you most want explained, and diet is where you expect the work to be.

Dr. Michael Lee
AI example

Dr. Michael Lee

PhD  ·  Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine · Acupuncture · Herbal therapy

Traditional Chinese Medicine alongside a research background in aging biology. Reads your results through both frames — pattern diagnosis, acupuncture and herbal formulations, set against what the biomarkers show — and is candid about where the two disagree.

Good fit if you already use or are curious about TCM and want it considered alongside your data rather than instead of it.

These clinicians are independent practitioners. ThriveBiome doesn’t employ them and isn’t responsible for the care they provide. Check that anyone you see is licensed in your state before booking.

Request a Review

One form. We reply with a payment link, and once that is settled the written response lands in your portal.

$149 per review
Included with Premium Premium members get clinician reviews at no extra cost. See plans →

Nothing is charged when you send this form. We confirm a reviewer is available, then email you a secure payment link — the review only starts once you have paid. If your question turns out to be something we can answer without a clinician, we will tell you and charge nothing.

Sending lab reports or photos? Submit this form first. The confirmation email you get back is the place to attach them — reply to it with your PDFs or images and they go straight to the reviewer with your request.

Typical response is two business days from payment. If a reviewer sees something that shouldn't wait, they will say so at the top of their reply — but again, anything urgent belongs with 911 or an emergency department, not here.

Questions

Premium members get clinician reviews as part of their plan, at no extra cost. Otherwise a review is $149. You are never charged from this form — we email a payment link once a reviewer has confirmed they can take your question, and the review starts after you pay.

No. Prescribing requires an examination and an established doctor–patient relationship, neither of which a written review creates. What a reviewer can do is tell you whether something is worth asking your own prescriber about, and give you the reasoning to bring with you.

No, and it isn't meant to. Most primary care appointments are fifteen minutes, which is not enough time to go through a multi-omic report. A review gives you a considered read of your data and a short list of things worth raising — so the fifteen minutes you do get are spent well.

The assessment you selected, the answers behind it, your question, and whatever you write in the context box. Nothing else from your account, and nothing from other assessments unless you pick them.

Access ends when the review closes. Your data is never sold, and never shared with an insurer or an employer.

Two business days is typical. A request sent on Friday evening will usually be answered by Tuesday. You'll get an email the moment the response is in your portal.

Yes — reply to the response and it goes back to the same reviewer, so you're not re-explaining yourself to someone new.
