Thank you for choosing HealthieOne for your health assessment.

Your test results offer a personalized, in-depth snapshot of your current health status, designed to help you make more informed decisions about your wellness journey. We encourage you to share your HealthieOne Complete report with your primary care provider, as these insights can highlight key areas for optimization and establish a valuable baseline for your ongoing wellness journey.

Overall Health Summary:

Your comprehensive blood panel shows the vast majority of your markers falling within normal ranges. However, several specific findings deserve attention, and HealthieOne's comprehensive approach helps us understand how these markers interconnect to reveal underlying patterns that can be addressed through targeted interventions.

Cardiovascular Health

Your LDL cholesterol level is elevated. This is particularly significant given your strong family history of heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. This elevation, combined with your sedentary work lifestyle and high stress levels, creates a cardiovascular risk profile that needs immediate attention. While your HDL cholesterol and triglycerides remain healthy, and your inflammatory marker C-reactive protein is optimally low, the LDL elevation suggests your body may be producing excess cholesterol or not clearing it efficiently. 

Your lipoprotein(a) level is significantly elevated, representing a genetic cardiovascular risk factor that cannot be modified through diet or lifestyle alone. This finding is particularly concerning given your strong family history of heart disease and creates an urgent need to optimize all your controllable cardiovascular risk factors. Lipoprotein(a) is largely determined by genetics and acts as an independent risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Since you cannot change this genetic predisposition, it becomes crucial to aggressively manage every other cardiovascular risk factor. This means maintaining optimal blood pressure, keeping your LDL cholesterol as low as possible through diet and potentially medication, managing stress through techniques like meditation or yoga, and increasing your physical activity to counteract your sedentary work environment. We strongly recommend discussing this result with a cardiologist within the next 2-3 weeks to develop a comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction strategy and determine if additional testing (such as coronary calcium scoring, or other specialized evaluations) or preventive medications are appropriate. 

Your trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) level is elevated, which is a cardiovascular risk marker that forms when gut bacteria process certain compounds found in fish, eggs, and other foods. While this elevation might seem concerning given your pescatarian diet, it's important to understand that TMAO levels can be influenced by gut bacteria composition, kidney function, and dietary patterns. Since you consume fish regularly as part of your pescatarian diet, some elevation might be expected. However, optimal levels are still preferable for cardiovascular health, especially given your elevated lipoprotein(a) and family history of heart disease. To address this finding, focus on supporting healthy gut bacteria through probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables, while adding prebiotic foods such as garlic, onions, and asparagus. Consider moderating your fish intake slightly, perhaps alternating fish meals with plant-based protein sources like legumes and quinoa. We recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider and cardiologist to determine if additional cardiovascular risk assessment is needed. We recommend retesting TMAO levels in 3-4 months after implementing these dietary changes.

Hormonal Health

Your 17-hydroxyprogesterone level is elevated, which may indicate adrenal stress or hormonal imbalance, particularly relevant given your history of unsuccessful IVF cycles and current high stress levels. This hormone is involved in the production of cortisol and sex hormones, and elevation can occur when your adrenal glands are working harder to manage stress or when there are disruptions in hormone metabolism. Your high stress levels and the physical and emotional toll of multiple IVF cycles could contribute to this finding. Focus on stress reduction techniques such as regular meditation, deep breathing exercises, gentle yoga, or other relaxation practices that work for you. Ensure you're getting adequate sleep, aiming for 7-9 hours nightly, and consider whether your current exercise routine provides stress relief or adds additional physical stress. We recommend retesting this hormone marker in 3-4 months and discussing these results with your healthcare provider. 

Your estradiol level is elevated for a post-menopausal woman, which warrants investigation given your history of unsuccessful IVF treatments and current post-menopausal status. This elevation could indicate residual effects from previous hormone treatments or other underlying factors affecting your hormone balance. Since elevated estrogen levels can have implications for cardiovascular health and other conditions, particularly in postmenopausal women, this finding needs attention. We recommend retesting your hormone panel in 2-3 months and discussing these results with your gynecologist or endocrinologist to determine if further evaluation is needed.

Your blood work reveals a complex picture of a post-menopausal woman whose body is navigating the interplay between genetic cardiovascular risk factors, residual effects from fertility treatments, and current lifestyle factors. The combination of elevated LDL, TMAO and lipoprotein(a), along with your family history, represents the most significant findings requiring immediate attention and aggressive cardiovascular risk reduction strategies. The hormonal elevations suggest your endocrine system may still be recovering from previous IVF treatments while adapting to post-menopausal changes. With targeted interventions including cardiovascular risk reduction, nutrition adjustments, hormonal rebalancing through stress management and appropriate medical follow-up, you can optimize your health outcomes. Your proactive approach to comprehensive health testing positions you well for implementing the necessary changes to optimize your health and reduce your cardiovascular risk. We recommend discussing all the above findings with your healthcare providers for further guidance.

Your biological age is 44, which is younger than your chronological age of 49.
