Understand what each biomarker measures, optimal ranges, and why it matters for your longevity.
Measures the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles in your blood — one per LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a) particle.
Lipoprotein(a) — a genetically determined lipoprotein that is a potent driver of atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol — the traditional measure of 'bad' cholesterol concentration.
LDL particle number — counts the actual number of LDL particles, regardless of the cholesterol they carry.
High-density lipoprotein cholesterol — involved in reverse cholesterol transport from arteries back to the liver.
Fat molecules circulating in your blood, strongly linked to diet, insulin resistance, and metabolic health.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein — a liver-produced marker of systemic inflammation.
Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 — an enzyme specific to vascular inflammation.
A blood-clotting protein that also serves as an acute-phase inflammatory marker.
An amino acid intermediate in methionine metabolism — elevated levels damage blood vessel walls.
Glycated hemoglobin — reflects your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.
Blood sugar level measured after an overnight fast — a basic but important metabolic marker.
Insulin levels after fasting — one of the earliest indicators of insulin resistance, years before glucose rises.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone — the primary screening marker for thyroid function and metabolic rate.
The active thyroid hormone — directly regulates metabolic rate, energy production, and body temperature.
Thyroxine — the main thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland, converted to active T3 in tissues.
Primary androgen hormone — critical for muscle mass, bone density, energy, mood, and cardiovascular health.
The primary estrogen — essential for bone health, cardiovascular protection, brain function, and reproductive health.
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate — the most abundant steroid hormone and a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen.
The primary stress hormone — regulates metabolism, immune function, and the body's fight-or-flight response.
Insulin-like growth factor 1 — a growth hormone mediator involved in tissue repair, muscle growth, and cellular aging.
25-hydroxyvitamin D — a steroid hormone essential for bone health, immune regulation, and mood.
Essential for nerve function, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation — deficiency is common, especially after age 50.
Vitamin B9 — critical for DNA methylation, cell division, and homocysteine metabolism.
Measures EPA and DHA as a percentage of total red blood cell fatty acids — a direct indicator of omega-3 status.
Red blood cell magnesium — a more accurate measure of magnesium status than serum magnesium.
Iron storage protein — reflects total body iron stores and serves as an inflammatory marker.
An essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and over 100 enzymatic processes.
Alanine aminotransferase — a liver enzyme that leaks into the blood when liver cells are damaged.
Gamma-glutamyl transferase — a liver and bile duct enzyme that also reflects oxidative stress.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate — measures how well your kidneys filter waste from the blood.
A byproduct of purine metabolism — both a marker of metabolic health and, when elevated, a driver of gout and kidney disease.
Measures the length of protective caps on chromosome ends — a marker of cellular aging and replicative capacity.
Biological age calculated from DNA methylation patterns — the most scientifically validated measure of how fast you are aging.
Immune cells that have not yet encountered an antigen — their decline is a hallmark of immune aging (immunosenescence).
A blood test that screens for over 50 types of cancer by detecting cell-free DNA shed by tumors into the bloodstream.
Apolipoprotein E gene variants (ε2, ε3, ε4) — the strongest common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene variants — affect folate metabolism and methylation capacity.
Tests how your genes affect drug metabolism — enabling personalized medication selection and dosing.
Comprehensive analysis of your entire ~3 billion base pair genome — the most complete genetic test available.
Non-invasive, radiation-free scan of the entire body — screens for tumors, organ abnormalities, and structural changes.
High-resolution CT scan of coronary arteries — measures both hard (calcified) and soft (vulnerable) plaque using AI analysis.
Low-dose CT scan quantifying calcified plaque in coronary arteries — a powerful predictor of future cardiac events.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry — the gold standard for measuring bone density, body composition, and visceral fat.
Ultrasound of the heart — assesses chamber size, valve function, ejection fraction, and diastolic function.
Maximum rate of oxygen consumption during exercise — the single strongest predictor of all-cause mortality.
Stool-based sequencing of gut bacteria, fungi, and metabolites — assesses microbial diversity and function.
