Macronutrient Structure Protein sufficiency, meal structure, and macro pattern compatibility with physiology.
Domain score
100 A+
Metabolic substrate adequacy and glycemic stability
Daily protein intake is frequently below sufficient levels Insufficient protein can impair muscle maintenance, satiety signaling, and metabolic substrate availability. Penalty 16 Refined carbohydrates dominate regular food intake High refined carbohydrate intake can destabilize blood glucose and insulin response patterns. Penalty 16 Unstructured snacking or grazing pattern is frequent Constant unstructured eating can disrupt meal-rhythm signaling and impair metabolic periodicity. Penalty 11
Biochemical Load & Modulation Biochemical exposure patterns from oils, sugars, alcohol, and concentrated compounds.
Domain score
100 A+
Inflammatory, endocrine, and oxidative signaling load
Industrial seed oil exposure is consistently high High intake of omega-6 dominant industrial oils can elevate systemic inflammatory signaling. Penalty 16 Added sugar intake is regularly elevated Frequent high sugar exposure can amplify insulin resistance and metabolic stress signaling. Penalty 16 Alcohol consumption frequency or quantity is elevated Frequent or excessive alcohol intake can disrupt liver metabolism, sleep architecture, and hormonal regulation. Penalty 16
Micronutrient & Mineral Density Nutrient density and mineral sufficiency patterns supporting enzymatic function.
Domain score
100 A+
Micronutrient sufficiency and trace mineral availability
Nutrient-dense seafood is rarely consumed Low seafood intake can reduce availability of omega-3 fatty acids, iodine, and trace minerals. Penalty 6 Variety of fruits and vegetables consumed is limited Low produce diversity may narrow the breadth of available vitamins, polyphenols, and fiber types. Penalty 11 Overall mineral-dense food intake is limited Insufficient intake of mineral-rich foods can constrain enzymatic function and cellular signaling capacity. Penalty 16
Processing & Structural Integrity Degree of industrial processing and structural disruption in routine food intake.
Domain score
100 A+
Industrial transformation and additive burden
Ultra-processed foods make up a large share of regular intake High ultra-processed food intake is associated with elevated inflammatory markers and metabolic disruption. Penalty 23 Foods with high additive or ingredient complexity are common Regular consumption of high-additive foods can increase cumulative biochemical burden. Penalty 11 Fast food or convenience meals are a regular part of intake Frequent fast-food consumption often combines multiple structural divergence factors including processing, additives, and oil quality. Penalty 16
Food Sourcing & Agricultural Integrity Food origin and agricultural exposure context influencing compatibility and load.
Domain score
100 A+
Agricultural origin quality and exposure pathways
Origin and sourcing of regular food intake is mostly unknown Low visibility into food sourcing reduces awareness of agricultural practices, chemical treatments, and quality standards. Penalty 11 Practices to reduce pesticide exposure are limited Limited pesticide mitigation through washing, peeling, or organic selection may increase cumulative chemical exposure. Penalty 11 Home-prepared meals from whole ingredients are uncommon Low home preparation from basic ingredients often correlates with reduced control over sourcing, additives, and oil quality. Penalty 6
