What this biomarker coach explains

Tell our coach any value from a common lab panel — a cholesterol panel, a metabolic panel, a thyroid check, or a vitals reading. The coach matches what you typed against a dictionary of the most-ordered adult labs, then frames each value against typical adult reference ranges from public health sources.

The biomarkers currently covered:

• LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) — explained against AHA/ACC population reference ranges
• HDL cholesterol ("good" cholesterol) — protective vs. typical vs. low-range framing
• Triglycerides — typical, borderline, and high-tier context
• Total cholesterol — desirable vs. borderline vs. high-range framing
• Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) — normal vs. prediabetes-range vs. diabetes-range threshold
• Fasting blood glucose — typical vs. impaired fasting glucose vs. diabetes-range
• Blood pressure (systolic & diastolic) — normal, elevated, stage 1, stage 2 ranges (e.g. BP 140/90)
• TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) — typical lab range and what an out-of-range result usually prompts
• Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) — deficient, insufficient, sufficient tiers per NIH
• BMI (body mass index) — population-level framing with known limitations noted
• Creatinine — typical adult range and the kidney-function signal it carries
• eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) — typical, mild decline, further-monitoring tiers
• Hemoglobin (Hgb) — typical ranges for men and women; anemia screening context
• Hematocrit (Hct) — typical adult range interpreted alongside hemoglobin
• Resting heart rate — typical 60–100 bpm adult range; what higher or lower may signal

How it works

1. Type what your report says in plain English. No upload needed — "my LDL was 145", "A1c 6.4", or "blood pressure 140 over 90" is enough to start. Numbers with units, words, or both all work.
2. Get plain-English context against typical adult ranges. The coach matches the values you mentioned against reference ranges from the American Heart Association (AHA), American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Diabetes Association (ADA), and the CDC — and frames each value as general population context, not as a diagnosis.
3. Take the framing to your doctor. The output is designed to help you walk into a visit with shared vocabulary and a starting question. Your doctor is the right person to interpret your specific number in the context of your full health picture, your history, and your goals.

Privacy

The free conversational coach is no-upload, no-account, and stores only the lab IDs you mention (e.g. LDL, A1c, blood pressure) and the resulting urgency tier — never your specific lab values or full chat text. The optional $14.99 standalone analysis is different: it accepts supported values you enter, stores the submitted payload and purchased report encrypted at rest, and uses them only to produce and show that educational report. NudgeWell does not sell this data or use this tool to refer you to lab providers.
