Inside Root.
Quarterly bloodwork - covered
Every 3 months, KAYU pays Quest for your protocol-relevant panel: fasting insulin + HbA1c + C-peptide (metabolic), hs-CRP (inflammation), CBC + CMP, lipid + ApoB. ~72 markers. Quest direct-pay retail: ~$550/draw, ~$2,200/yr.
10% off prescribed medications
Every medication through KAYU's pharmacy partners is discounted 10% as long as you're an active Root member. Brand-name medical weight-loss medications (brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®) are dispensed by licensed pharmacies at their published cash-pay price and are not part of the medication discount.
Full health + nutrition tracking
iOS + Android + web. Daily tracking for energy, sleep, mood, body composition, performance. Nutrition logging with macros tied to your protocol. Integrates with Apple Health and most wearables.
Lab trend charts + protocol plans
Every lab result charted over time. Protocol plans specific to your goals (recovery, performance, longevity, weight management) with dosing guidance and education.
Quarterly provider consults included
Re-evaluation every 3 months tied to your bloodwork - adjust protocol, dose, or direction based on what's actually changing in your data.
What's in the lab panel
~72 markers covering the glucose-insulin axis (fasting glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, C-peptide), inflammation (hs-CRP, ESR, ferritin, fibrinogen), full CBC + CMP, advanced lipids (ApoB, Lp(a), LDL particle), thyroid (TSH, fT3, fT4, rT3, antibodies), micronutrients (D, B12, magnesium RBC, omega-3), kidney (cystatin C). Designed specifically to monitor prescribed therapy safely, not generalist wellness.
Annualized value (typical patient: $200/mo medications)
Common questions about Root.
Why Root over Seed?
Seed is a one-time consult. Root is the recurring care relationship. If you're going to stay on a prescribed protocol for more than a quarter, Root pays for itself just on the bloodwork - Quest direct-pay for an equivalent panel runs $550. Add 10% off your prescribed medications and most members net out cost-positive.
Can I cancel Root?
Yes, anytime, no fees. Cancel from your dashboard. You keep access until the end of your current billing period.
What if I want to add hormones later?
Upgrade to Branch from your dashboard, prorated for the days remaining in your current month. Branch INCLUDES hormones at no per-dose charge (KAYU covers) and adds 20% off prescribed medications + the full full hormone bloodwork panel.
Does the 10% off apply to medical weight-loss medications?
Brand-name medical weight-loss medications (brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®, brand-name medical weight-loss medication®) are dispensed by licensed pharmacies at their published cash-pay price and are not part of the medication discount. Your Root membership benefit on medical weight-loss medications is the covered bloodwork (HbA1c, lipid panel, liver function, thyroid) and provider oversight throughout titration - not a medication discount.
If you're adding hormones (testosterone, estradiol, progesterone), upgrade to Branch - hormones become included at no per-dose charge, medication discount doubles to 20%, and the bloodwork panel expands to cover sex steroids + thyroid + HPA axis.
