How do you turn my numbers into a grade?
Each number is scored against what the research says is optimal, rather than against the wide “normal” band on a lab printout, which only tells you that you are not sick yet. Those scores become letter grades for body composition, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar, and those four roll up into one overall grade. The same formulas apply to everyone, adjusted only for age and sex.
The exact formula is our own. Read why we grade against optimal for the research behind it.
