No offense but the whole "biohacking" and "quantified self" community is mostly a clown show. It might be a fun hobby but there's little or no reliable evidence that any of that stuff actually leads to improved outcomes in terms of lifespan or healthspan or performance or whatever. Any business built around that community might get a few early adopters but won't cross the chasm to the mainstream market.

And I write this as someone who has personally wasted money on stuff like genetic tests for athletic performance. Interesting, but not actionable.

For common symptoms, conditions, and medications consumers mostly just rely on WebMD or similar sites.
