We selected the blood levels that best reflect good health and that allow for the optimization of well-being through lifestyle changes. When deciphering the results, both applicable reference and optimum ranges will be presented. Instead of a rushed 15-minute visit at the doctor's office, you will receive months of information and support in your lifestyle changes based on standardized and reliable diagnostics by leading experts. True well-being starts here!

WHAT IS AN OPTIMAL LEVEL?

All laboratory markers certainly don’t have so-called optimal values determined in scientific studies, but in some cases, such values do exist. Optimal values are likely to be based for example on findings made on a population level regarding low mortality or, for instance, the greatest likelihood of preventing cardiovascular disease associated with a particular marker. Optimal levels, as opposed to a reference range, have also been defined for some vitamins. 

However, it is crucial to always compare the results to your own previous results and track the changes over time, particularly after lifestyle changes. It is also beneficial to take several samples to get a bigger picture of various levels and to minimize the slight day-to-day variation before interpreting the results.

Always discuss medical treatment options and your laboratory results with your primary care physician first before taking any supplements, remedies, or other products. The Biohacker's Optimize Your Lab Results online course does not give medical recommendations or comment on matters involving individual medical care.
