14 markers, explained the same clear way
Each marker gets two pages: what it is, the range in the source’s own words, a root-cause explorer, plant-based foods, a meal idea, safety notes, and questions to ask.
Root-cause explorer for every marker
What can push each number up or down: food and lifestyle, nutrients, medicines, health conditions, and test factors. Always labeled as possible causes, never a diagnosis.
Plant-based foods and meal ideas
Whole plant foods named by NIH sources for each marker, a simple meal idea per marker, a plant-based pantry page, and five days of meal ideas.
Supplement safety notes
Plant-based options such as vegan B12, lichen-based vitamin D3, and algal omega-3, with upper limits and known medicine interactions.
Questions for your doctor
Four focused questions per marker, plus questions for any visit, so you leave the appointment with answers.
Retest & trend tracker
One table for all 14 markers across four test dates, so you and your doctor can see the trend, not just one number.
Medicine & progress log
List your medicines and track lifestyle progress to bring to your prescriber. The guide never tells you to stop or change a medicine.
