Optimal DX
“Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis”
What is Optimal DX?
Optimal DX is a leading AI-enabled platform that will help you take your blood test results to the next level.
The standard blood test you may already be conducting with your GP doctor, is useful at diagnosing pathology; that is, if disease is causing a given biomarker to register as excessively high or low, it can serve as a clear sign to practitioners that the patient is suffering from a clinical condition.
However, it is based from calculations for ranges drawn from a population sample with similar characteristics e.g. age, gender, health status, race etc. To determine the upper and lower limit of the reference range (the reference interval), they use 2 points of standard deviation i.e. the upper 2.5% and lower 2.5% of the bell curve are considered “not normal”. The remainder represents the range in which 95% of the sampled population’s blood biomarker levels fall. This is defined as “normal.”
It should be evident that equating this “normal” biomarker range with a healthy biomarker range is problematic. Consider the fact that the sampled population is essentially a random snapshot, which captures people who are obese, exercise less than they should, eat a poor diet, are exposed to pollutants, and more. Therefore, the standard blood test that uses biomarker ranges from these populations will wildly misrepresent the optimal health targets patients should be shooting for.
What is The Optimal Range?
To better serve you in detecting dysfunction before it leads to a clinical condition, Optimal DX uses tighter, optimal ranges that represent the ideal level for a given biomarker. When a biomarker strays above or below that range, Human Nutritionists can use this as a sign that there is dysfunction and an intervention is needed, with nutrition being the primary care first step.
To make even greater use of functional blood chemistry’s optimal ranges, Human Nutritionists can track your blood test results over time and observe as biomarkers shift towards or away from the optimal range.
So what do you receive?
Ultimately through a comprehensive analysis the software turns the standard blood biomarker ranges into a uniquely profiled optimal set of results, in an easily understandable report.
And with the expert oversight from a Human Nutritionist, you can rest assured your AI report has been critically examined by a fellow human, allowing you to effortlessly identify blood biomarker concerns and guide your nutritional care.
Foodworks Professional
“The gold standard in nutrition software”
What is Foodworks analysis software?
Foodworks is an Australian nutrition analysis software platform that compares your current macro and micronutrient intake to what should be your adequate intake.
Through drastically reducing subjectiveness, and introducing advanced data-driven insights, your Human Nutrition advice will then provide a much clearer understanding of how your food intake is impacting upon your uniquely profiled physiology and health prospects.
The food composition data that a Foodworks analysis produces, ensures you are provided with accurate coverage for over 80 nutrients and components.
Food works allows you to leverage flexible and detailed nutrition comparison to the Australian Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs), allowing you to assess your nutritional adequacy against what you have been consuming.
What are NRVs?
The Australian Nutrient Reference Values (NRVs) provide recommended intakes for essential nutrients based on age, sex, and life stages. These values outline the levels of intake considered adequate to meet the nutritional needs of healthy individuals and prevent deficiency states.
Foodworks Easy Diet Diary app
Streamline nutrient intake tracking, save time and effort with the free Easy Diet Diary mobile app, available on both Android and iOS.
Seamlessly integrated with Foodworks.online, Easy Diet Diary reduces manual data entry by scanning bar codes straight from the food source.
So what do you receive?
All Foodworks analysis are completed with a customised report, providing you with clear and concise summaries of your dietary intake, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, alcohol, and micronutrient breakdowns in an easily understandable format.
With Human Nutrition and Foodworks you have the data you need for precise and informed nutrition analysis, empowering you to make enhanced food choices.
