Your Personal Redox Health Scorecard
Your Personal REDOX HEALTH SCORECARD (Measure → Interpret → Optimize)
Goal: Keep your cellular “battery” in the Goldilocks zone — not too oxidized (rusty), not too reduced (stagnant), but dynamically balanced for energy, repair, and longevity.

STEP 1: MEASURE (Biomarkers You Can Test)
|
Biomarker
|
What It Tells You
|
Ideal Range
|
How to Test
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
1. GSH / GSSG Ratio (blood or RBC)
|
Master redox buffer – high ratio = youthful
|
> 100:1 (healthy) < 30:1 = oxidative stress
|
Lab: Genova Diagnostics, Quest “RBC Glutathione”
|
|
2. 8-OHdG (urine)
|
DNA oxidation damage
|
< 5 ng/mg creatinine
|
At-home: Genova “Oxidative Stress Profile”
|
|
3. Lipid Peroxides (plasma)
|
Cell membrane damage
|
< 0.8 µmol/L
|
Lab: Cleveland HeartLab, Life Extension
|
|
4. CoQ10 (plasma)
|
Mitochondrial antioxidant + energy
|
> 0.8 µg/mL (total)
|
Lab: Any major lab
|
|
5. NAD⁺ / NADH Ratio (blood)
|
Cellular energy charge
|
> 300:1
|
Research labs only (Jinfiniti, TruDiagnostic)
|
|
6. Cysteine / Cystine Ratio (plasma)
|
Extracellular redox state
|
> 2.0
|
Lab: Genova, Metametrix
|
|
7. Uric Acid (serum)
|
70% of plasma antioxidant capacity
|
Men: 3.5–5.5 mg/dL Women: 2.5–5.0
|
Standard blood panel
|
STEP 2: INTERPRET (Your Redox “Score”)
Add up +1 for each GREEN, 0 for YELLOW, –1 for RED.

TOTAL SCORE:
- +4 to +5 → Redox Rockstar (top 5% longevity potential)
- +1 to +3 → Balanced (normal aging)
- 0 to –1 → Mild Stress (fix with lifestyle)
- –2 or lower → Red Alert (accelerated aging, inflammation)
STEP 3: OPTIMIZE (Action Plan by Score)
|
Score
|
Priority Actions
|
|---|---|
|
+4 to +5
|
Maintain: • 16:8 fasting 3–5×/week • 7–9 h sleep • 2–3 HIIT sessions • Cold shower 3 min daily
|
|
+1 to +3
|
Boost Phase (30 days): 1. Nrf2 activators: 50 g broccoli sprouts daily (or BroccoMax 30 mg sulforaphane) 2. GSH precursors: Liposomal glutathione 500 mg OR NAC 600 mg 2×/day 3. CoQ10: 200 mg ubiquinol (if < 60 yrs) or 400 mg (if > 60) 4. Red light therapy: 10 min daily (660 nm)
|
|
0 to –1
|
Repair Phase (60 days): 1. Eliminate oxidants: No seed oils, alcohol < 2 drinks/week, quit vaping 2. Selenium: 200 µg Brazil nuts (2–3) or selenomethionine 3. α-Lipoic acid (RLA): 300 mg 2×/day (recycles GSH, CoQ10) 4. Sauna: 20 min @ 80°C 3×/week (↑HO-1)
|
|
–2 or lower
|
Medical Phase: • See functional MD • Test heavy metals, mold, infections • Consider IV glutathione or hyperbaric O₂

Red Flags (See MD)
- GSH/GSSG < 10 → possible liver disease, HIV, cancer
- 8-OHdG > 10 → high cancer/inflammation risk
- CoQ10 < 0.5 → statin damage, mitochondrial disease
Your Next Step
- Order this panel:
RBC Glutathione (GSH/GSSG), 8-OHdG urine, Lipid Peroxides, CoQ10 total, Uric Acid - Take photo of results → contact me → I’ll calculate your exact score and custom 30-day plan.
