Why the MVX Plus Test Could Be the Most Important Health Decision You Make This Year, Only $97 for a limited time.

What if you could Measure. Guide. Track. and Transform Your Health?
What if cholesterol, blood pressure, BMI, and even a heart disease diagnosis are outdated measurements?
Most standard lab tests are designed to detect disease after it develops or to assess risk factors like cholesterol, blood sugar, or blood pressure.
But what if you could measure your true physiological health—the underlying state of your body—before symptoms appear?
When I was 49yo (Chronological Age), I tested my Biological Age. It was 62yo! In my shock, I was motivated to do something about it! Here the results of my journey. I reversed my aging by 15 years!
Since then I continue to research and apply using Testing/markers (Blood, Hair, Urine, Genes) to Reverse accelerated aging! This is where the MVX Plus blood test fits in.
What is MVX Plus?
MVX Plus is a groundbreaking blood test that measures key physiological factors that drive chronic disease and early death.
It’s the only test that:
✅ Predicts longevity better than age, cholesterol, blood pressure, VO₂ max, BMI, and even a heart disease diagnosis.
✅ Identifies problems before symptoms start, giving you the chance to take action early.
✅ Tracks your progress so you can see exactly how your lifestyle, diet, and supplements are working.
Health Markers
MVX — A composite score that reflects how resilient your metabolism is under stress, integrating blood sugar handling, inflammation, nutrient status, and mitochondrial efficiency
“Strong metabolism, Strong life”
IVX — Inflammation Vulnerability Index
GlycA – An advanced inflammation marker that detects both infections and hidden inflammation.
“See the Fire Before It Burns.”
Small HDL Particle Number – Your body’s detox “garbage trucks” that help remove inflammatory debris and toxins from the blood.
“Don’t Just Measure HDL — Count the Workers That Move It.”
Metabolic Malnutrition Index — A lower score means your body is doing MORE with LESS.
Citrate – A key indicator of mitochondrial function (your cellular energy engines).
“Fuel Your Cells, Fuel Your Life.”
Valine – An essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) important for muscle and metabolic health.
Leucine – A BCAA vital for muscle maintenance, repair, and protein metabolism.
Isoleucine – Another BCAA involved in energy and endurance.
“Recover Faster. Live Stronger.”
Why This Test Matters
Most chronic illnesses—including heart disease, cancer, dementia, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic disorders—are rooted in three problems:
Inflammation & Infections
Toxins
Malnutrition
These lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, the cellular breakdown that accelerates aging and disease.
The MVX Plus test measures the combined effect of these root causes in your body—something no other single test can do.
Your Health Score: The MVX Index
MVX Plus gives you a score between 1 and 100.
Lower is better (for Metabolic Vulnerability Index only).
A score of 13 is the best recorded so far
A score of 78 is the highest (most vulnerable)
This number becomes your health baseline—a measurable starting point for your health journey.
The Benefits of Taking the MVX Plus Test
Early detection of hidden health threats
Clear targets for lifestyle and nutritional improvement
Accountability—track your progress over time
Proof that your therapies and lifestyle changes are working
Personal empowerment—you’re no longer guessing about your health
MVX / Amino & Metabolic Markers
Standard Lab Ranges vs. Functional / Optimal Ranges
Why I Dr. Paul Emphasizes the “Far-Right” (Tighter) Ranges
1. Lab ranges are not “healthy ranges”
Standard reference intervals are derived from 95% of the general population—which includes:
Pre-diabetics
Chronically inflamed individuals
People with silent metabolic dysfunction
👉 “Normal” often means “common,” not optimal.
2. Disease develops long before labs flag abnormal
Markers like:
GlycA
Citrate
BCAAs
shift years before glucose, A1c, LDL, or CRP become abnormal.
Dr. Schmidt’s approach:
Detect metabolic stress early → intervene upstream → prevent pathology.
3. Mitochondria drive everything
Many of these markers (citrate, BCAAs, MVX):
Reflect mitochondrial throughput
Signal whether fuel is being used or stalled
Higher-normal values often mean:
Incomplete oxidation
Redox imbalance
Insulin resistance at the cellular level
4. Anabolic vs. catabolic balance
Especially with BCAAs:
Too low → muscle loss, poor repair
Too high → insulin resistance, mTOR overdrive
The “optimal” ranges reflect:
Efficient protein utilization
Lean mass preservation without metabolic stress
5. Functional medicine looks at trajectory, not crisis
Conventional labs ask:
“Is this dangerous yet?”
Functional medicine asks:
“Is this moving in the wrong direction?”
The far-right column reflects:
Longevity physiology
Athletic recovery physiology
Ancestral metabolic patterns
Bottom Line (Clinical Framing)
Lab reference ranges detect disease.
Functional ranges preserve health.
Dr. Darren Schmidt’s tighter ranges aim to:
Reduce metabolic noise
Optimize mitochondrial efficiency
Prevent insulin resistance
Support long-term vitality rather than crisis management
Real-Life Results
Patients who’ve taken the MVX Plus test have seen:
Major reductions in inflammation after detox and infection treatment
Improvements in protein metabolism after targeted nutrition plans
Better mitochondrial function and energy levels after correcting deficiencies
Confirmed proof of healing—even before they “felt” better
Who Should Take the MVX Plus Test?
This test is for anyone who:
Wants to prevent chronic disease
Has mystery symptoms doctors can’t explain
Is already working on their health and wants to measure results
Wants to extend healthy years and improve quality of life
