At Optimal DX, we do more than analyze bloodwork—we uncover what’s truly going on beneath the surface. We help practitioners interpret complexity, inspire confidence, and guide their patients toward lasting, meaningful health improvements.
Born from the belief that “normal” isn’t good enough, our mission is to equip healthcare professionals with the tools, insight, and clarity to detect dysfunction before it becomes disease—and help patients experience what optimal health really feels like.
We translate data into meaning, mentor our users toward mastery, and investigate the root causes of dysfunction—so you can deliver healthcare that’s proactive, precise, and personal.
At Optimal DX, we empower practitioners to go beyond surface-level lab interpretation. The ODX Platform is a comprehensive solution that combines advanced biomarker analytics with functional insight and treatment planning—so you can turn complex data into personalized, life-changing care.
Whether you’re identifying early dysfunction, building precise health improvement plans, or educating your patients, the ODX Platform helps you do it with clarity, speed, and confidence.
Optimal DX stands at the intersection of data and discovery. We’re Translators who decode complexity, Mentors who guide with clarity, and Detectives who pursue the root cause. Our mission is simple: equip practitioners with tools that reveal the full picture of health—before disease has a chance to take hold. Welcome to a smarter, more proactive future in functional medicine.

Dr. Dicken Weatherby is a world-leading expert in Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis. He graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon in 1998. His bestselling book "Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis – Clinical Laboratory Testing from a Functional Perspective" has become a seminal text on the functional analysis of blood test results. In 2012 he released the groundbreaking Optimal DX Software program to make it easier for health care practitioners to extract functional and nutritional information from their patients’ blood tests and to give them the Functional Health Report, a powerful analytical reporting tool to use with their patients.
