The 7% Assessment Tool

The interactive assessment tool on this website allows you to enter your own metabolic health markers to determine whether you meet the criteria for Verified or Aspiring 7 Percenter status. Please note:

• The numbers you enter are never stored, transmitted, or seen by anyone. The tool runs entirely in your browser.
• The assessment is based on educational criteria drawn from published metabolic health research and is not a medical diagnosis.
• Meeting or not meeting the 7 Percenter criteria does not constitute a medical opinion about your health status.
• Always discuss your lab results and health goals with a qualified healthcare provider.

The statistic that approximately 7% of Americans are metabolically healthy is drawn from published research, including the work of Dr. Casey Means as presented in her book Good Energy. We recommend consulting primary sources directly.
