Joi + Blokes Challenges the AI Diagnostic Arms Race with a First-of-Its-Kind 1:1 Clinician Consultation Program for Patients with Existing Labs

NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Joi + Blokes, a leading national telehealth platform for men’s and women’s health, announced the launch of its Beyond the Labs program, a first-of-its-kind service that gives patients access to holistically-trained licensed clinicians for personalized 30- to 60-minute consultations based on their existing lab results, no matter where those labs were completed.

In a healthcare landscape racing toward automation, AI-driven lab platforms, and transactional care, Joi + Blokes is taking a different approach centered on real human connection. The company believes that while biomarker data is essential, the true key to better health outcomes lies in the clinical conversation that follows.

“There’s an arms race in diagnostics right now; everyone’s focused on testing, tracking, and technology,” said Josh Whalen, CEO and Co-Founder of Joi + Blokes. “But what’s missing is the most crucial part: the human connection with a clinician. Data alone doesn’t heal anyone. Listening, empathy, and expert clinician guidance do.”

Through the Beyond the Labs program, patients can upload existing lab results from any provider and connect directly with a Joi + Blokes licensed clinician in all 50 states. Each consultation is built around the patient’s unique biomarkers, symptoms, and goals, bridging the gap between data and meaningful, personalized care.

“Most primary care visits are rushed, lasting under 15 minutes. Ours are 30–60 minutes long, and unlike the exploding number of ‘lab-only’ services, you’ll actually see a clinician who listens and builds you a real plan,” says Dr. Melissa Loseke, DO, Medical Director at Joi + Blokes. “We specialize in integrative health, functional medicine, and menopause care, translating complex data into actionable, personalized treatments that help women feel like themselves again.”

“We see it every day,” said Katy Whalen, Co-founder & COO of Joi + Blokes. “Women going through perimenopause or menopause are exhausted from being dismissed or told their symptoms are ‘normal.’ They don’t want another report or generic plan; they want to be heard. They want real solutions. Beyond the Labs gives them that, with holistically-trained clinicians who truly listen and care.”

Patients can choose from two levels of care:

• Advanced Visit (30 minutes) — $150
• Comprehensive Visit (60 minutes) — $225

All new patients receive 25% off their first visit. For those who simply want to talk things through, Joi + Blokes has made that even easier by offering free visits with our health coaches who help patients navigate their options and feel supported from the start. “We live in a world of call centers and automations,” added Whalen. “Sometimes just talking to someone, even for a few minutes, can make all the difference.”
