Important Notes

Walsh built on Pfeiffer's work using records from more than 30,000 patients. It is personalized to lab results, but it has not been tested in controlled trials, and some tests used are not validated. Insurance usually does not cover it. If you are thinking about suicide or in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.

About Evidence Score

The Evidence Score (0 to 100) rates the strength of evidence from studies in people for the uses listed: higher means stronger, more consistent research. It does not measure safety. It is not medical advice.

For education, not medical advice. Talk with a licensed clinician before you start, and never stop or change a prescribed medication without your prescriber.
