Hey you!

I'm Grant, co-founder of 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.

That’s when the lightbulb went off. Here I was, desperately needing regular blood work to monitor my health, while blood centers were desperately needing donors - there’s been a 40% decline in American donations in the last decade. Two problems, one solution staring us in the face.

So I quit my job to figure it out.

As we like to say: Do good, feel better.
