Your Labs Came Back Fine.
Here's What They
Missed.

Optimal insulin sensitivity, cells respond efficiently and the pancreas is not compensating. Centenarian studies consistently show fasting insulin below 5 μIU/mL throughout life; this is one of the most powerful longevity targets you can hit.

Upper-normal where subtle metabolic slowing and elevated cholesterol may appear in younger adults. Importantly, in adults over 65, mildly elevated TSH may reflect a normal adaptive shift, age matters significantly for how this number is interpreted.

Chronic low-grade inflammation now associated with elevated cardiovascular event risk, cognitive decline, and shortened healthspan. The American College of Cardiology considers ≥2 mg/L a cardiovascular risk enhancer, at this level, it's time to investigate root causes.

Low atherogenic particle burden, the zone where cardiovascular risk accumulation is minimised over decades. Hunter-gatherer populations with negligible cardiovascular disease typically ran in this range throughout life.

Deficient to insufficient, where most adults unknowingly live. Immune regulation, mood, cardiovascular protection, and cancer surveillance are all compromised below 40 ng/mL; the 30 ng/mL 'sufficiency' threshold is a clinical floor, not a longevity target.

Minimal protein and DNA glycation, the longevity sweet spot. Centenarian studies consistently show HbA1c below 5.5% throughout life; the ideal target is ≤5.2%, and the risk curve rises linearly above 5.0%.

Below the longevity target. DHEA-S declines ~1–2% per year after 30, but premature depletion points to chronic stress, poor sleep, or systemic inflammation as accelerants. The trend matters as much as the number.

Good, with room to improve. Homocysteine reliably drops with methylated B12, B6, and folate supplementation, one of the most well-supported interventions in longevity research.
