The science
Understanding your markers.
What each marker measures, and how ScriptsXO reads your report without adding anything to it.
Each marker is one reading. Together, and over time, they tell you more.
Hormones
Estrogen, progesterone and the pituitary signals that drive them shift through perimenopause and menopause.
- Estradiol
- The main estrogen, central to the menstrual cycle and menopause.
- FSH
- A pituitary hormone that signals the ovaries; it often rises in menopause.
- Progesterone
- A hormone that rises after ovulation and falls through menopause.
Metabolic
Markers of how your body uses and stores fuel.
- Glucose
- Blood sugar, the main fuel your cells use.
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Average blood sugar over recent months.
- Insulin
- The hormone that moves sugar from the blood into cells.
Inflammation
General signals that the body is responding to stress or injury.
- hs-CRP
- A sensitive measure of low-grade inflammation.
- Homocysteine
- An amino acid linked to blood vessel and nerve function.
- Fibrinogen
- A clotting protein that also rises with inflammation.
Thyroid
The signal and the hormones that set your metabolic pace.
- TSH
- The pituitary signal that sets how much thyroid hormone you make.
- T4
- Thyroid hormone available to your tissues.
- T3
- The most active thyroid hormone.
How ScriptsXO reads your report.
Copied from your report
Every value, range and flag ScriptsXO shows is printed on your lab report. A number that is not on the report is never shown.
Grouped by what it measures
Markers are sorted into hormones, thyroid, metabolic, heart, inflammation, vitamins and more, so related results sit together.
Explained in plain language
Each marker carries one short note: what it measures, and where your value sits against the range your lab printed.
