Cardiovascular & Metabolic
The numbers your doctor already checks, brought together in one place instead of scattered across visits.
Scoring for this category is still being researched — your inputs below are saved and ready for when it ships.
A directional, educational estimate built on published research — not a clinical measurement or a diagnosis.
Inputs
Numbers you likely already have from a recent check-up, a home cuff, or a wearable. Enter what you have — you don’t need all of them to start.
What moves it
- Regular aerobic movement is one of the most consistent levers on blood pressure and resting heart rate.
- Sleep, alcohol intake, and stress all move these numbers more than most people expect — see the Lifestyle category.
- Diet composition and consistency, more than any single food, drive cholesterol and blood sugar trends over time.
Solutions, scaled to you
A low score is never a dead end — it just changes where you start. Pick whichever matches what’s actually available to you right now.
On your own
- A home blood pressure cuff and a consistent morning routine gets you a real trend line, not a one-off number.
- Track resting heart rate first thing in the morning, same conditions each time.
- Bring last year's labs if you have them — a trend matters more than a single reading.
