Initially, the scoring is solely on the answers you provide during the self-assessment. These 200+ questions are based on functional medicine questionnaires that are linked to various body systems.
Additionally, the platform will consider any other biomarkers from testing to improve the overall wellness score but also assess the state of your health in the prioritised health scores list.
These health scores will show the various involved body systems in the order of the highest scoring which means they would have the highest scoring during the self-assessment as well as correlating biomarkers, if applicable.
These body systems include:
- Energy Regulation (HPA Axis)
- Male/ Female Sex Hormones
- Upper GI (Stomach)
- Amino Acid Status (Protein status)
- Vitamin Status
- Mineral Status
- Kidneys & Bladder
- Immune system regulation
- Blood sugar regulation
- Fatty Acid Status
- Liver & Gallbladder
- Cardiovascular health
- Gastrointestinal Health (Gut Health)
- Pathogenic status
As new data is added and the self-assessment is updated each time after addressing certain areas, the list above will be changing and adjusting to the new priorities.
Any prioritisation will bring with it also a list of results, linked biomarkers and most importantly recommendations. These are revealed by diving into any of the above-mentioned body systems and going a level deeper. In this article, we will explore Vitamin Status and in particular Folate/Vitamin B9.
After selecting Vitamin Status from the prioritised health score list you are given a new set of options:
Results will provide you with all results states that are linked to a Vitamin Status. Biomarkers will show you any tested biomarker that is either dependent on a Vitamin or represents the status of a specific one. Recommendations are based on the health score and your preferences.
In this example, we are given an increased need for Folate/Vitamin B9:
