Your Health Score brings clarity to the overload of modern health data — translating your many biomarkers and lifestyle factors into one simple, science-backed number. Grounded in decades of clinical research, it helps you understand where your health stands today and how to take meaningful steps toward living longer and better.
What Is the Health Score?
Your Health Score is a scientifically derived algorithmic metric that offers a holistic snapshot of your current health and long-term risk profile.
Instead of looking at one lab result or one system in isolation, the Health Score integrates multiple layers of data — ranging from cardiovascular and metabolic biomarkers to cognitive, lifestyle, and functional indicators — to show how well your body is performing and where you have room to improve.
It’s designed to answer three key questions:
What is my current disease risk? (Cardiovascular, metabolic, and cognitive)
How well am I able to function? (Energy, sleep, focus)
How fast am I aging internally? (Biologic age versus chronological age)
This multidimensional view helps you and your clinician see not just where you are today, but where you’re headed — and how to change your trajectory for the better.
How Is It Calculated?
Your Health Score weights each biomarker and lifestyle input according to its proven relationship with long-term health outcomes to create an integrated score that updates dynamically as your data changes.
The methodology is grounded in large-scale population research from studies like the Framingham Heart Study and the UK Biobank, which have tracked hundreds of thousands of people to reveal how factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, smoking, and stress interact to influence disease risk and lifespan. Using this evidence, scientists developed statistical models — like Cox proportional hazard and logistic regression — to determine how strongly each variable predicts future health outcomes.
Your Health Score draws on this foundation, combining objective biomarkers and self-reported lifestyle data to deliver a comprehensive, real-time picture of your overall health and trajectory.
What Are the Inputs?
Your Health Score incorporates lab markers linked to disease risk and biological aging, alongside functional and lifestyle indicators, including:
HbA1c (blood sugar control): Reflects your average blood glucose levels over the past three months.
Vitamin D: Supports bone, immune, and brain health and is essential for overall metabolic function
Albumin: A liver-made protein that maintains fluid balance and carries essential substances throughout the body
LDL Cholesterol: Low density lipoprotein, often called the “bad cholesterol” because when circulating in higher amounts can increase cardiovascular risk
MCV: Measures the average size of your red blood cells, helping identify types of anemia and other blood disorders
RDW: Measures variances in the volume and size of your red blood cells to help detect anemia and other blood conditions
Activity Level: The amount and intensity of physical movement or exercise you do on a regular basis
Nutrition: The food choices you make and how they impact your energy, health, and overall well-being
