The Heart Attack Risk Factor Your Doctor May Miss
Your cholesterol number isn't the problem. What is driving that number is THE problem. Oxidative stress is one of those drivers, and your standard panel doesn't measure it.
Get My Test Package: $247 →What Is Oxidative Stress?
Your standard cholesterol panel does not measure oxidative damage. Look beyond one number.
Think of rust. Oxidative stress is like rust inside your body.
Your body makes free radicals every day. It also has defenses to clean them up. When the free radicals outpace the defenses, that is oxidative stress.
Over time it can damage your arteries, your cholesterol particles, and the tissues of your heart.
What drives it? Too much bad stuff. Not enough good stuff.
- Seed oils, sugar, processed food
- Smoking and poor sleep
- Mold, plastics, and chemicals at home
- Stress that never lets up
- Real food
- Sunlight, movement, clean air and water
- Eight hours of dark, screen-free sleep
- The nutrients your body repairs with
That is the 100 Year Heart Method. Find what is hurting you. Remove it. Give your heart what it needs to repair.
We Measure Lipid Peroxides in Your Urine.
The test measures lipid peroxides. They form when free radicals damage the fats in your cells and your cholesterol particles. A high level is a marker linked to oxidative stress.
Lipid peroxides are one of the most studied markers of oxidative damage to fats, including the fats in LDL particles. A urine sample shows it. No needle.1
The lab work is done by Genova Diagnostics, the same lab shown on your sample report below.
- Whether your level is inside or outside the normal range
- A signal that the balance may be off
- Where to start
- A baseline to measure against later
- It is not a diagnosis
- It does not predict a heart attack
- It does not replace cholesterol, calcium score, or other heart testing
- One number does not tell you the cause. That is what the review is for
The Number Is Not the Problem. What Is Driving It Is.
Two people can get the same result for very different reasons. One eats out every night. One sleeps four hours. One lives with mold. The number can't tell them apart. The 50 Questions Questionnaire is how we find out which one is you.
Your answers and your result go to your NHD Master Health Coach together. Your plan is built on both.
We Don't Send You a Number and Say Good Luck.
A real person reads your results and goes over them with you.
You collect your urine sample at home. You mail it back in the prepaid package.
Your 50 answers show your coach what may be driving your number. Two people with the same result can have very different causes.
Live on Zoom. Your coach reads your result and your 50 answers, walks you through them, and answers your questions.
What to remove. What to add. What to look at next. In order.

Before You Order
What does the Oxidative Stress Test measure?
The test measures lipid peroxides in your urine, a marker of oxidative stress. Think of oxidative stress as internal rust in your arteries. It reflects the balance of free radicals and antioxidants in your body, and it is one of the most studied common threads across many heart conditions. Standard panels and calcium scores do not show it.
I already have a diagnosis. Is this test still relevant to me?
Yes. People come to this test from many starting points: high cholesterol, blood pressure, rhythm concerns, a calcium score, family history, or no symptoms at all. Your diagnosis describes what is happening. Oxidative stress is one of the most studied common threads underneath many heart conditions, which is why we look here no matter what brought you in. This test does not diagnose or treat any condition. It gives you one more piece of information. Do not stop or change any medication without talking to the healthcare professional who manages your care.
How do I take the test, and when will I get results?
Your kit ships within 1 to 2 business days. Collect a urine sample at home in about 5 minutes, then send it to the lab in the postage-paid envelope. Your results are ready in 2 to 3 weeks. No blood draw or physician order is needed.
Will someone explain my results?
Yes. A One-on-one NHD Master Health Coach review on Zoom is included. Your coach reads your result and your 50-question assessment before the call, then contacts you to schedule. On the call they help you understand your results and risk factors, answer your questions, and give you an action plan for your next steps.
How is this different from the heart tests I have had?
An ECG shows damage that has already happened. A coronary CT scan shows calcium. A treadmill stress test checks whether current symptoms are heart-related. Those are all useful. This test looks at something different: the balance of damage and defense inside your cells right now, measured at home. It does not replace any of those tests. It adds a piece they do not measure.
How much does it cost, and what is included?
$247. That is a total value of over $500: a $200 lab fee and a $300 coach consultation. It includes the 50-question Heart Health Risk Assessment, the oxidative stress test, the One-on-one NHD Master Health Coach review, and your action plan. Shipping is free in the contiguous US.
Where do you ship?
Shipping is free in the contiguous United States. Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days, excluding major holidays. We also ship internationally. International shipping and any customs or import fees are paid by the customer, and international orders travel at the customer's risk once shipped.
