Understanding Your Personalized Lab Marker List
Every health journey is unique. Your list is organized by priority:
Previously Suboptimal Results
Markers with past results outside the optimal range appear at the top. These often affect multiple important health aspects, so regular monitoring can help you track changes over time.
Critical Health-Related Markers
Next are markers associated with key health issues identified in your DNA analysis. These provide valuable insights into areas of potential concern.
Less Impactful Markers
At the bottom, you'll find markers linked to areas where your genetic predispositions are favorable. While less urgent, they still offer a complete picture of your health.
