175 Biomarkers
See what your primary care physician doesn’t measure.
Heart/Cardiovascular Health12 Biomarkers
- Apolipoprotein B
- ApoB counts the number of cholesterol-carrying particles (LDL, remnants, Lp(a)). It’s the most reliable single marker for artery risk and treatment targets.
- Lipoprotein (a)
- Lp(a) is an inherited particle that independently raises ASCVD risk, calling for extra vigilance and aggressive prevention. It barely changes with lifestyle and is usually a once-in-a-lifetime test.
- Total Cholesterol
- Total cholesterol is the sum of all cholesterol (LDL, HDL, remnants). It’s a blunt tool—a high TC can be “high” just because HDL is high.
- HDL Cholesterol
- HDL helps shuttle cholesterol back to the liver (“recycling”). Level is a proxy; function and overall risk matter more.
- Triglycerides
- Triglycerides are blood fats that rise with refined carbs, alcohol, and insulin resistance. Lower is generally better and high levels can elevate apoB.
- LDL-Cholesterol
- LDL-C is the amount of cholesterol inside LDL (“bad-cholesterol”) particles—the cargo, not the number of trucks. It’s useful, but ApoB tells risk more precisely.
- Cholesterol/HDLC Ratio
- Old school cholesterol ratio that often helped gauge overall heart risk.
- Non-HDL Cholesterol
- Non-HDL-C = total cholesterol minus HDL, capturing cholesterol in all the “bad” particles (LDL, remnants, Lp(a)). It’s a better risk marker than LDL-C when ApoB isn’t available.
- Myeloperoxidase*
- A white-blood-cell enzyme linked to oxidative stress in arteries.
- Trimethylamine N-oxide
- A gut-microbiome metabolite from foods like red meat and egg yolks; higher levels are linked to heart/kidney risk.
- OxLDL*
- LDL that’s been oxidized (“rusted”)—more likely to irritate artery walls.
- Lp-PLA2 Activity*
- An enzyme tied to artery-wall inflammation and plaque activity.
Thyroid7 Biomarkers
- TSH
- TSH is the pituitary “control signal” that tells your thyroid how hard to work. It helps screen and fine-tune thyroid function alongside free T4 and free T3.
- Free T3
- Free T3 is the thyroid hormone your cells actually use. Most of it is made by converting T4 into T3. Influences metabolism, energy levels & other physiological processes.
- Free T4
- Free T4 is the main hormone the thyroid releases, which your body turns into T3 as needed. It helps show how much hormone your gland is making.
- Reverse T3*
- Reverse T3 is an inactive form of thyroid hormone your body makes from T4. It often rises during illness, stress, or calorie deficit as a temporary energy-saving response.
- TPO Antibodies*
- TPO antibodies show when the immune system is targeting the thyroid. A positive result helps explain drifting thyroid levels or symptoms.
- Thyroglobulin Antibodies*
- Used to check for antibodies against thyroglobulin, which would mean the immune system is damaging thyroid cells.
- Iodine*
- Iodine is a key building block of thyroid hormones.
Autoimmunity2 Biomarkers
- ANA (Antinuclear Antibodies)*
- ANA tests look for antibodies targeting cell nuclei, often seen in autoimmune diseases.
- Rheumatoid Factor*
- Rheumatoid factor is an antibody that can indicate rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune activity.
Pancreas3 Biomarkers

- Helps detect salivary disease, pancreatitis, celiac disease, IBD, or tumor growth in amylase-producing tissues.
- Lipase*
- Helps detect inflammation in the pancreas and diagnose other health conditions in the biliary system.
- CA 19-9*
- A tumor marker sometimes used to monitor pancreatic or biliary conditions.
Gut Health1 Biomarker

Dementia1 Biomarker
- Cardio IQ APOE Genotype*
- Tests your APOE gene type, which can influence Alzheimer’s risk.
Genetic164 Biomarkers
- MTHFR*
- The MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) gene affects how your body processes folate and homocysteine. Certain variants can reduce enzyme efficiency, leading to higher homocysteine levels and altered methylation—impacting cardiovascular, mood, and detox pathways.
- Invitae Comprehensive Genetic Risk Panel (163 genes)*
- This test is intended to assess individuals for hereditary conditions, where early detection may enable effective medical interventions and preventive measures. Conditions tested include: cancers, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, and other medically actionable conditions.
Metabolic Health18 Biomarkers
- Hemoglobin A1c
- A1C reflects your average blood sugar over ~3 months. Can be very inaccurate (1% off) in ~10–20% of people. Most useful when paired with CGM data.
- Insulin
- Shows how hard your body is working to keep fasting sugar normal—an early window into insulin resistance.
- Uric Acid
- Uric acid is a breakdown product that, when high, can raise blood pressure and irritate blood vessels and joints. Lower is generally better.
- Homocysteine
- Homocysteine is a sulfur-based amino acid; when elevated it’s an endothelial irritant, which can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. Aim low and steady.
- Leptin*
- A hormone released by fat cells that signals fullness and regulates metabolism. High levels can mean “leptin resistance,” where the brain no longer responds properly, often seen with weight gain or metabolic slowdown.
- HOMA-IR Score
- A calculated score from fasting glucose and insulin that estimates insulin resistance. Lower is better.
- Glucose
- A single morning, empty-stomach blood sugar. A simple first look at glucose control.
- eGFR
- An estimate of how well your kidneys filter blood; higher is better. It’s calculated from blood tests (creatinine and/or cystatin C).
- Bun/Creatinine Ratio
- Helps interpret kidney and hydration status.
- Sodium
- The main blood salt; reflects water balance more than salt intake.
- Potassium
- Key mineral for nerve and heart rhythm—kept in a tight range.

Nutrients & Minerals18 Biomarkers
- Selenium*
- A trace mineral crucial for thyroid hormone activation, antioxidant defense, and immune balance. Low levels may affect metabolism and immunity, while excess can be toxic.
- Methylmalonic Acid*
- A sensitive marker for vitamin B12 status; high levels indicate functional B12 deficiency even when serum B12 appears normal.
- Magnesium, RBC*
- Looks at magnesium inside red cells, which may better reflect body stores than serum. Cramps, sleep, migraines, etc.

Inflammation2 Biomarkers
- High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
- A sensitive marker of whole-body inflammation; we want it low and steady. Don’t test while sick or right after a hard workout.
- Ferritin
- Ferritin is your iron-storage “fuel tank.” Low means the tank is low; high can mean inflammation or iron overload.

- FSH is a brain signal that helps ovaries make eggs and testes make sperm. It’s key for fertility and menopause/ovarian reserve clues.
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)

- Progesterone
- Progesterone rises after ovulation and supports the uterine lining; it also balances estrogen’s effects.
- AMH*
- Produced by ovarian follicles, AMH reflects egg reserve and fertility potential. It declines with age and helps assess menopause timing or fertility treatment response.
