Generic health tests use Western reference ranges. Mito provides truly personalized health insights and treatment plans based on your ethnicity, culture, and lifestyle.
Your labs, interpreted for your body.
Not someone else's.
Standard reference ranges were built on outdated datasets that don't account for your ethnicity, lifestyle, or history. We're changing that.

Generic Tests Miss Critical Differences in Chinese Health
Most health testing companies use 'normal' reference ranges based on Western populations. But science shows that metabolism, risk thresholds, and disease patterns differ significantly across ethnicities.
Reference Ranges Don't Apply
East Asians face diabetes risk at lower BMI and blood sugar levels, but generic standards may show 'normal'. Your results deserve context that accounts for your ethnicity.
Diet Advice Is Unrealistic
'Mediterranean diet' is neither realistic nor sustainable for Chinese families accustomed to rice, noodles, and buns. You shouldn't have to abandon your food culture to be healthy.
Missing Critical Tests
Chinese-specific health risks — like Hepatitis B, gastric cancer screening, and osteoporosis — are often overlooked by standard check-ups.
THE DATA SPEAKS
'Normal' May Not Be Normal for You
The same test values mean different health risks for different ethnicities. We use research-validated Chinese-specific reference ranges.
⚖️
BMI Overweight Threshold
Generic Standard≥ 25.0
Korean American Standard≥ 23.0
Asians develop metabolic issues at lower BMI. WHO recommends 23 as the overweight threshold for Asia-Pacific populations.
🩸
Prediabetes HbA1c
Generic Standard≥ 5.7%
Korean American Standard≥ 5.5%
Research shows Asians develop significant insulin resistance at 5.5%. Early detection enables early intervention.
📏
Waist Circumference Risk (Male)
Generic Standard≥ 40 in
Korean American Standard≥ 35.5 in
Asian abdominal obesity increases cardiovascular and metabolic risk at smaller waist sizes.

What Makes Our Screen Different
We focus on the conditions with highest prevalence and impact in Chinese populations.
Liver Health Panel
Comprehensive liver function, hepatitis B/C screening, AFP tumor marker, and liver elastography — critical for a population with high hepatitis B carrier rates.
Gastric Cancer Markers
H. pylori testing, pepsinogen ratios, and gastric cancer risk stratification — addressing the elevated gastric cancer rates in Chinese populations.
Metabolic & Diabetes Risk
Full Metabolic panel including HbA1c, fasting insulin, and HOMA-IR — catching diabetes risk early using Asian-specific thresholds, when lifestyle changes are most effective.
Cardiovascular Assessment
Lipid panel with Lp(a) and apoB, hs-CRP, and vascular imaging — because heart disease presents differently in Chinese populations compared to Western cohorts.
Cancer Screening
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) markers, colorectal risk assessment, and lung screening criteria — targeting the cancers most prevalent in Chinese adults.
Bone & Joint Health
Vitamin D levels, calcium metabolism, and DEXA bone density scan — addressing the high rates of osteoporosis in Chinese adults.
More isn't always better. We select markers that truly matter for Chinese health, while skipping tests that provide limited value for you.
What We Test (And Why)
Limited Value for Chinese
Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)
HbA1c — Stricter Threshold
H. Pylori Antibodies + Pepsinogen
Lp(a) Lipoprotein + apoB
CUSTOMIZED LABS
Your body is unique.
Your reference ranges should be too.

DIET & LIFESTYLE
Health Advice That Respects Your Diet
Many health recommendations push the 'Mediterranean diet' — lots of olive oil, whole grain bread, red wine. This is both foreign and unsustainable for traditional Chinese eating habits.
Our AI health assistant understands Chinese cuisine and helps you make healthier choices within rice, noodles, and dim sum — without abandoning your food culture.
🍞 Whole wheat bread
→ 🍚 Brown rice / Mixed grain rice
🫒 Olive oil salad
→ 🥬 Stir-fried vegetables
🍷 Moderate red wine
→ 🍵 Green tea / Oolong tea
🥗 Greek yogurt
→ 🥟 Tofu / Soy products
PERSONALIZED INTERVENTIONS
Treatments Calibrated for Chinese Biology
Standard dosing guidelines are based on Western clinical trials. But drug metabolism, genetic variants, and risk thresholds differ for East Asians — so interventions should too.
Our physicians prescribe with these differences in mind, adjusting medications, supplements, and thresholds to what the research says works best for your body.
💊 Standard statin dose
→ 💊 Lower-dose statin (Asians metabolize differently)
🩸 Prediabetes intervention at HbA1c 5.7%
→ 🩸 Intervention at HbA1c 5.5% (Asian threshold)
☀️ Generic Vitamin D target
→ ☀️ Adjusted target for Asian skin tone & lifestyle
⚖️ Weight loss goal at BMI 25+
→ ⚖️ Metabolic intervention at BMI 23+ (WHO Asia-Pacific)
Not Just Data — Personalized Action Plans
Based on your test results, our licensed physicians can prescribe personalized medications, supplements, and lifestyle interventions.
Statins
Cardiovascular risk management with Asian-optimized dosing, adjusted for East Asian metabolic characteristics.
Vitamin D3
Custom supplementation for the common Vitamin D deficiency seen in Chinese populations, with dosing adjusted for skin tone and lifestyle.
H. Pylori Eradication
Triple or quadruple therapy prescription for positive cases — critical given the elevated gastric cancer rates in East Asian populations.
Metformin
Preventive treatment for early insulin resistance, prescribed at Asian-specific thresholds where intervention is most effective.
Rx-Grade Omega-3
Pharmaceutical-grade fish oil for high triglycerides, a common finding in Chinese metabolic profiles.
Calcium + K2
Optimal combination for osteoporosis prevention — addressing the high rates of bone density loss in Chinese adults.
Folate (Methylfolate)
Active folate form for MTHFR gene variants, which are prevalent in East Asian populations.
Lifestyle Prescription
Personalized diet, exercise, and sleep recommendations adapted to Chinese cuisine and cultural context — not generic Western advice.

Jason Lim Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Chinese adults need different health screening?
Chinese populations have significantly higher rates of certain conditions — liver cancer (linked to hepatitis B prevalence), gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and specific metabolic patterns. Standard Western screening protocols often miss these. East Asians also face diabetes risk at lower BMI and blood sugar levels than generic thresholds suggest.
I already get an annual check-up. Why is this different?
Most annual check-ups test basic blood counts and cholesterol using generic Western reference ranges. We screen for condition-specific biomarkers like HBsAg, pepsinogen, and H. pylori — and we interpret all results using Chinese-specific thresholds validated by research.
What about diet recommendations? I eat traditional Chinese food.
We understand Chinese cuisine. Our recommendations work within your food culture — brown rice instead of whole wheat bread, stir-fried vegetables instead of olive oil salads, green tea instead of red wine, and tofu instead of Greek yogurt. You don't have to give up buns, rice, and noodles to be healthy.
Do I need to fast before the test?
Yes, we recommend fasting for 10-12 hours before your appointment for accurate metabolic and lipid results.
How often should I get screened?
We recommend annual comprehensive screening for adults over 35, or earlier if you have family history of cancer, liver disease, or cardiovascular conditions.
Is this covered by insurance?
The $349 annual membership is HSA/FSA eligible. You can also split into 4 interest-free payments of $87.25.
