GoodLabs our story began in a New York City doctor's office, where a random blood test led to a surprising diagnosis: I have genetic hemochromatosis, a condition I've had my whole life. This means my body can't properly process iron, which had been silently accumulating in my organs. The solution? I now donate blood once a week (crazy, I know) to remove excess iron from my system. But here’s where it gets frustrating - I had to run around the city checking in with specialists about my iron levels, getting poked and prodded multiple times. I couldn’t fathom why, if there was already a needle in my arm during donation, they couldn’t just run the blood tests right then and there. No one had a good answer.
