From the following list which do you think matter?
Marker | What and Why |
---|---|
Speed of Aging | You can slow your speed of aging. |
Sleep | Sleep is the single most powerful drug and therapy for health. |
Telomere Length | Telomere length reflects cellular aging and impacts the risk of age-related diseases. |
Hba1c | Measures long-term blood sugar control, a key predictor of metabolic health. |
Fasting Glucose | Fasting glucose levels measure baseline glucose levels, helping to predict risks for metabolic health. |
Insulin | The body releases insulin when blood sugar levels are elevated. Fasted insulin levels reveal antioxidant capacity and metabolic health. |
Uric Acid | Reflects antioxidant capacity as well as potential inflammation and metabolic health. |
VO2 Max | A power marker of aerobic fitness and cardiovascular health. |
RHR (Resting Heart Rate) | A foundational marker of cardiovascular efficiency and overall health. |
SmO2 (% time <10%) | A marker of muscular efficiency, measuring oxygen delivery and utilization. |
Bone Mineral Density | Critical marker of skeletal health and frailty, with higher values indicating stronger bones. |
Grip Strength | A simple and powerful predictor of overall health and longevity. |
Nighttime Erections | Indicative of metabolic health and resilience. |
Muscle Volume | Leading indicator of metabolic health and resilience. |
Fat (Optimal) | Key indicators of metabolic health, with lower levels strongly linked to better outcomes. |
Bench Press | A strong indicator of upper body muscular power and overall fitness. |
Leg Press | A critical marker of lower body muscular power, resilience, and mobility. |
DHEA | A “recovery hormone” that supports stress resilience, repair, and overall health. |
Testosterone | Crucial for both men and women, supporting muscle strength and bone density. |
Free Testosterone | The bioavailable form of testosterone essential for overall metabolic health. |
TSH | A critical marker for thyroid health, regulating metabolic rate and hormonal balance. |
TNF | A key inflammatory cytokine involved in metabolic and immune health. |
Lung Strength | Peak expiratory flow reflects respiratory efficiency and overall health. |
CAC Score | Measures heart calcium buildup, a marker for cardiovascular risk. |
hsCRP | A gold standard marker of systemic inflammation, with elevated levels linked to health risks. |
S-100B | Measures neuroinflammation, with high and low levels linked to cognitive decline. |
HDL-C | “Good” cholesterol that removes excess cholesterol from the bloodstream. |
Apo-A1 | Another metric for “good” cholesterol particles, indicating reduced cardiovascular risk. |
LDL-C | “Bad” cholesterol, with lower levels indicating reduced cardiovascular risk. |
LDL-P | A more accurate metric of LDL cholesterol particles. |
Triglycerides | Lower levels are linked to decreased cardiovascular risk. |
oxLDL | Measures oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating reduced arterial damage risk. |
Lp(a) | Associated with reduced risk of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. |
Blood Pressure | Indicates cardiovascular health, with lower levels linked to reduced risk of heart failure. |
BNP | Measures heart stress or failure risk. |
GFR | Measures kidney function, with higher levels indicating better health. |
Creatinine | A fundamental marker of kidney health. |
Cystatin-C | A sensitive biomarker for kidney and cardiovascular health. |
GGT | Key marker for liver health and oxidative stress. |
AST | A marker of liver and muscle health. |
ALT | Key enzyme for liver function, with lower levels indicating good liver health. |
Basal Temperature | Reflects metabolic rate, hormonal balance, and overall health. |
Omega-3 Index | Measures EPA and DHA levels in membranes, linked to reduced inflammation and cardiovascular risk. |
Glutathione | A critical antioxidant supporting detoxification and reduced oxidative stress. |
