Biomarker Intelligence

What individual blood markers mean, where “normal” and optimal ranges differ, and how often to retest.

About this topic

What these articles cover.

A blood report is a list of numbers with reference ranges beside them. Those ranges describe the middle of a population, not what is optimal for you, and a single value means less than the pattern between several. These articles take one marker or one question at a time: ApoB against LDL, hs-CRP for inflammation, HbA1c and HOMA-IR for blood sugar, vitamin D in India, and how often to retest.

Markers named in an article link to their own page in the biomarker library, which explains what each one measures and what moves it.
