Every marker, explained.
How your body produces and uses energy. The foundation of how you feel day to day. Problems here develop silently for years before showing up as diabetes or metabolic disease.
Blood sugar & insulin
Fasting glucose
Your blood sugar after an overnight fast. The starting point for understanding metabolic health.
HbA1c
Your 3-month average blood sugar. More reliable than a single glucose reading.
Fasting insulin
How hard your pancreas is working to keep blood sugar in check. Elevated insulin is one of the earliest signals of metabolic dysfunction — often years before glucose rises.
HOMA-IR
A calculated measure of insulin resistance. The lower the number, the more efficiently your body handles sugar.
TyG index
A second, independent check on insulin resistance using triglycerides. Confirms or challenges the HOMA-IR reading.
eAG
Your HbA1c converted into a daily average blood sugar number. Makes the data immediately relatable.
Thyroid
TSH
The signal from your brain telling your thyroid how hard to work. The standard screening test, but not the full story.
Free T3
The active thyroid hormone. The one that actually drives your metabolism and energy levels.
Free T4
The main hormone your thyroid produces. Your body converts it into the active form, T3.
Energy-critical nutrients
Vitamin B12
Essential for nerve function, red blood cell production, and clearing homocysteine from your blood. Often low in people who feel fine.
Ferritin
Your iron storage level. Low ferritin causes fatigue and brain fog long before anemia shows up on a standard test.
Cortisol (morning)
Your primary stress hormone. Morning levels reveal whether your stress response is calibrated or running too hot.
Your risk of heart disease and stroke over the coming decades. We go well beyond standard cholesterol to measure the markers that actually predict risk.
Primary markers
ApoB
The single most accurate measure of how many harmful particles are circulating in your blood. More predictive than LDL alone.
Lp(a)
A genetically determined risk factor for heart disease. You can't change it, but you need to know if you carry it.
Total cholesterol
The headline number. Useful as context, but the markers below tell the real story.
LDL cholesterol
The particles that deposit cholesterol in artery walls. The one most people know, but not the full picture.
HDL cholesterol
The protective cholesterol. Higher is generally better. Works alongside triglycerides to assess overall lipid health.
Triglycerides
Blood fats tied to diet, metabolism, and cardiovascular risk. Excellent when low, a warning sign when elevated.
VLDL
A triglyceride-carrying particle produced by the liver. Low is good.
Homocysteine
An amino acid that, when elevated, directly damages artery walls. Linked to B12 and folate status.
Calculated Ratios
TC/HDL ratio
Total cholesterol relative to protective HDL. A quick gauge of overall lipid balance.
TG/HDL ratio
Triglycerides relative to HDL. One of the best simple predictors of insulin resistance and particle size.
LDL/HDL ratio
Harmful particles relative to protective ones. Lower is better.
AIP
A composite index of cardiovascular risk. Negative values are favorable.
The biological systems that govern drive, mood, body composition, recovery, and how you age. Subtle shifts here affect everything.
Hormones
Total testosterone
The headline hormone for energy, drive, muscle maintenance, and vitality. Declines naturally with age, but the rate matters.
DHEA-S
A precursor hormone tied to resilience, stress adaptation, and aging. One of the best markers of adrenal health.
IGF-1
A growth factor linked to tissue repair, muscle maintenance, and cellular health. Reflects growth hormone activity.
Vital nutrients
Vitamin D
Impacts immunity, mood, bone density, and hormone production. Deficiency is common in Thailand despite the sun.
Folate
A B vitamin critical for DNA repair, red blood cell production, and homocysteine metabolism.
Magnesium (serum)
Involved in over 300 biochemical reactions. Most people are deficient and don't know it.
The systems running in the background that you can't feel until something goes wrong. Inflammation, organ function, blood health, and immune balance.
Inflammation & immune
hs-CRP
High-sensitivity inflammation marker. Detects low-grade inflammation invisible to standard tests. A root cause of most chronic disease.
WBC
Your immune system's overall activity level. Too low or too high both warrant attention.
NLR
A calculated ratio reflecting the balance between your innate and adaptive immune systems.
Neutrophils
Your body's first responders to infection and injury.
Lymphocytes
The adaptive immune cells that build targeted defenses. Key to long-term immunity.
Monocytes
Immune cells involved in tissue repair and chronic inflammation.
Eosinophils
Active in allergic responses and parasitic defense.
Basophils
The rarest white blood cells. Involved in allergic and inflammatory reactions.
Liver
ALT
A liver enzyme that rises when liver cells are stressed or damaged. The most sensitive routine liver marker.
AST
A liver enzyme also found in muscle. Context from other markers determines whether an elevation is liver-related or exercise-related.
ALP
A liver and bone enzyme. Helps distinguish between different types of liver stress.
Total bilirubin
A byproduct of red blood cell breakdown processed by your liver. Mildly elevated levels can actually be protective.
Albumin
The most abundant protein in your blood. A marker of liver function, nutrition, and overall health status.
De ritis ratio
Distinguishes liver stress from muscle turnover. Especially useful if you exercise regularly.
Kidney
Creatinine
A waste product filtered by your kidneys. Stable levels mean your kidneys are working efficiently.
eGFR
Estimated kidney filtration rate. The single best number for overall kidney health.
BUN
Blood urea nitrogen. Reflects protein metabolism and kidney function together.
Uric acid
Linked to gout, kidney stones, and cardiovascular risk when elevated. Easy to manage once identified.
Blood health (CBC)
RBC
The cells that carry oxygen to every tissue in your body. Count, size, and content all matter.
Hemoglobin
The protein inside red blood cells that binds oxygen. The most direct measure of oxygen-carrying capacity.
Hematocrit
The proportion of your blood made up of red blood cells. Reflects hydration and oxygen delivery.
MCV
Average red blood cell size. Abnormal size points to specific nutritional deficiencies.
MCH
Average hemoglobin content per red blood cell. Works alongside MCV to identify the cause of anemia.
MCHC
Hemoglobin concentration within red blood cells. A more refined view of oxygen-carrying efficiency.
RDW
How consistent your red blood cell sizes are. High variation can signal nutritional deficiency or chronic disease.
Platelets
The cells responsible for blood clotting. Both too few and too many are clinically significant.
MPV
Average platelet size. Larger platelets are more active and can signal increased clotting tendency.
Other
Total protein
Combined albumin and globulin. A broad indicator of nutritional and immune status.
Globulin
Proteins produced by your immune system and liver. Reflects immune activity and inflammation.
Direct bilirubin
The water-soluble form processed by your liver for excretion. Helps pinpoint the source of bilirubin elevation.
For women who want full visibility into hormonal health, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Available as an add-on to the core membership.
Optional add-on for 5,000 THB
Hormones
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Works alongside FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle. The LH-to-FSH ratio is one of the key signals of where you are in the hormonal transition.
Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Rising FSH is one of the earliest signals of perimenopause, often detectable years before symptoms appear.
Estradiol (E2)
The primary estrogen. Tracks hormonal shifts through perimenopause and menopause.
Progesterone
Balances estrogen and supports sleep, mood, and cycle regularity. Often the first hormone to decline.
Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG)
Controls how much of your hormones are active vs bound. Affects the real impact of your estradiol and testosterone levels.
Free testosterone
The unbound, active fraction of testosterone. Important for energy, libido, mood, and body composition in women. Often overlooked in standard panels.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Aion Health?
A preventive health membership based in Thailand. Members get comprehensive blood testing — 60+ data points — an AI-powered personalized health report, and ongoing support to act on their results. We focus on what’s happening inside your body before problems show up, not after.
How is this different from a hospital checkup?
Different questions, different tools. A hospital checkup is a structural screening — imaging, ECG, ultrasound. It asks “is anything broken?” Aion is a biochemical deep dive — 60+ blood markers with full lifestyle context. It asks “how is everything running, and where is it heading?” They’re complementary. The hospital catches structural issues. We catch metabolic drift, hormonal decline, nutritional gaps, and silent inflammation — the things that drive disease years before symptoms appear.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants a clearer understanding of their health. You don’t need to be an athlete or a biohacker. Most of our members are professionals in Thailand who want real visibility into how their body is performing, and a plan they can act on. If you’ve ever felt that something was off but couldn’t get a clear answer, this is for you.
Is this relevant for women specifically?
Very much so. Perimenopause can start 8 to 10 years before menopause, and most standard checkups don’t include the hormonal markers that matter. Our core panel already covers thyroid and key metabolic markers that interact with hormonal health. We also offer a dedicated hormonal add-on — estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, SHBG, and free testosterone — for women who want the full picture. For women in their late thirties to fifties, this is often the first time anyone has given them real visibility into what’s happening hormonally. The hormonal add-on can be included when you register.
What does my report include?
A personalized document generated by our AI interpretation engine. It takes your lab results, cross-references them against your lifestyle questionnaire, classifies every biomarker, identifies patterns across categories, calculates your biological age, and produces specific, actionable recommendations across nutrition, exercise, sleep, and supplementation. It’s not a generic printout — it’s written for you.
What is biological age?
A calculation based on specific biomarkers that estimates how old your body is functioning at, compared to your actual age. We use the PhenoAge algorithm, a peer-reviewed formula developed at Yale. It gives you a single number that captures your overall physiological state and serves as a powerful baseline for tracking improvement over time.
Is the AI replacing a doctor?
No. Aion Health does not diagnose conditions or prescribe treatment. If something in your results needs clinical follow-up, the report flags it clearly and recommends you see a specialist. What the AI does is interpret your biomarkers in context — something no doctor has time to do at this level of detail in a standard consultation.
Where does the testing happen?
At NHealth, part of the BDMS network, Thailand’s largest private healthcare group. You can visit any NHealth location or arrange for our team to come to your home or office.
How much does it cost?
One-time fee. 15,000 THB for standard founding membership, 12,000 THB for the first 20 members. This covers your full biomarker panel, personalized report, and protocol. No recurring charge. Retesting is available when you want it, priced separately. The women's hormonal panel is available as an add-on for 5,000 THB.
Can I retest?
Yes. Retesting is a core part of the Aion Health approach. After your baseline, you can retest whenever it makes sense — the timing depends on your goals and your results. Each new test sharpens the picture and makes your protocol more precise. Your data becomes more valuable over time, not less.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We operate in full compliance with Thailand’s PDPA. Your health data is encrypted, never sold, and never shared with advertisers, employers, or insurers. You can request a copy or deletion of your data at any time. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
Have another question?
hello@aionhealth.co
Are you a doctor?
No. Aion Health does not practice medicine. The interpretation engine is built on peer-reviewed clinical research and validated reference ranges. If anything in your results requires medical attention, the report says so clearly and recommends you see a specialist.
How does the AI-powered report actually work?
Our interpretation engine cross-references every one of your biomarkers against your age, sex, lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep, stress, supplements, and medical history. It reads patterns across categories that no single marker could reveal on its own — for example, connecting an elevated homocysteine to a low B12 and a rising cardiovascular risk profile, all in the same analysis. Every classification and recommendation is grounded in peer-reviewed clinical research and validated reference ranges, not opinion or guesswork. The result is a report that is specific to you, not to a population average. And because the system learns more about you with every test cycle, your protocol becomes more precise over time. The first report sets your baseline. The second one starts to reveal your trajectory. By the third, your plan is built on a depth of personal data that no single consultation could match.
