    I love the detailed analysis, this is great work!!! It does bring up an interesting question about the amount of weight you give each variable. It seems to me that giving more weight to the variables that are most influential in the overall score might be the best way to prioritize your protocol. For example making the center bullseye of your target RDW and/or glucose, then the first ring, CRP and WBC (count) and albumin, moving out to the outermost rings of the target like: Creatinine/alkaline Phosphatase: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5940111/. What do you think?

      Thanks Tyler. I can see how adding weights to biomarkers can be valuable, but I’m wary. FOr example, albumin is the most concentrated protein in blood-should that be weighted more than RDW? I’m not only trying to optimize biological age, but all of the big picture biomarkers, too. For for now, they each have equal weight…
