Metabolic Health Dashboard

The score combines five markers into a single 0-to-100 number: HbA1c (three-month blood-sugar trend), triglycerides, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, and blood pressure. Each marker is scored on a continuous scale based on where your value falls between optimal and high-risk, and the five are combined into one weighted total — turning a scattered set of results into one directional read on your metabolic health.

Not every marker carries the same metabolic weight, so the score reflects that. HbA1c is weighted most heavily (×1.3) as the strongest single signal, followed by triglycerides (×1.25), waist circumference (×1.2), HDL (×1.15), and blood pressure (×1.0). The weighting means an out-of-range A1c pulls the composite down more than a borderline blood pressure would, matching how strongly each marker tracks with metabolic risk.

These five map closely to the components of metabolic syndrome — the clustering of blood sugar, triglycerides, central fat, HDL, and blood pressure that predicts cardiometabolic risk. Waist circumference is used instead of BMI because central (visceral) fat drives metabolic dysfunction, and two people with the same BMI can carry very different amounts of it. See the Waist Ratio tools for the central-fat piece on its own.

Higher is better on the 0-to-100 scale — a high score means most of your markers sit in their optimal ranges, and a lower score means one or more are pulling the composite down. Because the score is weighted, the fastest way to read it is to look at which individual markers are dragging it: the dashboard shows each marker’s contribution, so you can see whether it is your A1c, your triglycerides, or your waist moving the number.

No. It is a composite educational score, not a clinical diagnosis. Individual markers fluctuate with diet, sleep, stress, hydration, and medication timing, and some (like A1c) can be distorted by conditions such as certain hemoglobin variants or recent blood loss. Use the score for directional guidance and to see which levers to pull first, and take any concerning individual marker to your healthcare provider for proper interpretation.

Because the score is built from five markers that share an underlying driver — insulin resistance and visceral fat — the same core habits move several at once: reducing refined carbohydrates and added sugars, resistance training plus Zone 2 cardio, consistent sleep, and managing chronic stress. Target the lowest-scoring marker first for the biggest gain, and re-measure on the timescale that marker moves — glucose and triglycerides in weeks, A1c and waist over two to three months.
