103 markers is a lot. Which one is actually yours?
Every marker below is free to read in full — what it measures, the optimal range, and how to fix it.
- Already have results? Paste them in and every marker is checked against optimal, not just "in range".
- Starting from nothing? Pick a panel built around your situation — cheaper than guessing marker by marker.
- Numbers back and none the wiser? Reading one marker is the easy case. When two disagree, that is what Skool ($10/mo) or one-on-one coaching is for.
Frequently asked questions
How many blood markers does this guide cover?
103 markers across hormones, cardiovascular, metabolic, inflammation, blood and iron, organ function, vitamins and minerals, and genetic testing.
What is the difference between a normal and an optimal range?
Standard reference ranges represent the middle 95% of people tested at a lab — a population that includes many unhealthy people. 'In range' means statistically common, not healthy. Optimal ranges come from outcome data and clinical literature on where risk is lowest and function is best.
Do I need a doctor to order these blood tests?
No. Through Marek Diagnostics you can order online and have blood drawn at any Quest Diagnostics location in the US, with results emailed to you. Code CAMERON applies 10% off automatically.
Are the ranges different for men and women?
Yes — many markers including testosterone, estradiol, ferritin, hemoglobin, SHBG and uric acid have distinct male and female ranges. Each marker page shows both where they differ.

The pages here are the frameworks. The protocols — the dosing, the order to correct things in, the week-by-week schedule and what to retest — are inside Skool.
Important: This page is education only. The ranges shown are published reference and functional ranges from the cited literature — not a diagnosis and not medical advice. Lab ranges vary by assay and laboratory; always compare against the range printed on your own report and discuss your results with a qualified healthcare provider.
