Why these biomarkers and not others

This library does not try to cover every test available. A biomarker is included only if it meets all four conditions below. Anything that fails one of them stays out, however popular it is.

1. Modifiable
There is a demonstrated intervention that moves it: nutrition, activity, sleep or medical treatment. A marker you cannot influence is information, not a tool.
2. Linked to a clinical outcome
Evidence connects the marker to morbidity or mortality, rather than only to a subjective feeling or an intermediate measure.
3. Accessible and standardised
Measured by routine blood work or an available device, using a standardised method that allows comparison across laboratories and over time.
4. Has a reference range
A recognised clinical range exists, and in some cases a tighter research-supported target. Without a range, a single number means nothing.
⚠️ What is excluded and why: markers without a uniform measurement standard across laboratories, markers whose evidence base is still preliminary, and markers that cannot be changed by intervention. Absence from this list does not mean a marker is worthless, only that we lack a sufficient basis to publish a target for it. The list is updated as evidence accumulates.
❤️ Cardiovascular
❤️mg/dL
ApoB
Apolipoprotein B

Superior to LDL-C. Counts atherogenic particles. Best cardiovascular risk predictor.

💔mg/dL
Lp(a)
Lipoprotein Little A

Genetic risk factor. 20-25% of population with elevated Lp(a). Difficult to change with lifestyle.

💚mg/dL
HDL
High-Density Lipoprotein

Good cholesterol. Function matters as much as level. Zone 2 Training raises HDL.

⚠️μmol/L
Homocysteine
Homocysteine

Dementia and stroke risk. B12+B6+Folate reduce by 30-50%. Essential to test in vegans.

🔥 Metabolic
🩸%
HbA1c
Glycated Hemoglobin

Glycation = cellular aging. Lancet n=310,458: >5.4% = elevated risk even 'normal'.

Longevity <5.4%Read →
💉μIU/mL
Fasting Insulin
Fasting Insulin

Most sensitive marker for insulin resistance. Detects problems years before HbA1c.

HOMA-IR <1.5Read →
🫧mg/dL
Triglycerides
Triglycerides

Linked to sugar, not fat. TG/HDL ratio >3 = nearly certain insulin resistance.

Testosterone
Testosterone

Critical for muscle, bone and brain. Declines 1%/year from age 30. Free T + Total T.

TSH
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

'Normal' up to 4.5 - Longevity target 0.5-2.5. TSH + Free T3/T4 + Anti-TPO.

📈ng/mL
IGF-1
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1

Longevity paradox: too high = cancer risk. Too low = impaired anabolism.

120-200Read →
😰μg/dL
Cortisol
Cortisol

Chronic cortisol shortens telomeres and accelerates aging. Ashwagandha proven effective.

Vitamin D
25-Hydroxyvitamin D

VITAL n=25,871: 25% cancer mortality reduction. 200+ genes. ~70% of Israelis deficient.

Ferritin
Ferritin

60% of women suboptimal. 'Normal' 20-40 causes fatigue and hair loss.
