Make Sense of Your Health with Know Your Number

The Benefits of Sharing Your Number with a Health Coach or Health Professional

As part of your wellness program, you may be required to complete a biometric screening. Blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, waist circumference, suddenly, you’re handed a list of numbers and results.

Maybe you recognize some of them. Maybe you don’t. Either way, it’s a lot of information to take in.

When you complete the Know Your Number (KYN) health risk assessment and upload your biometric results, whichever comes first, your individual metrics are combined into a single score that reflects your overall health risk.

One number feels simpler, but what does it mean for your health?

From many numbers to one score

The KYN score is designed to give you a high-level snapshot of health risk by combining multiple factors. Instead of focusing solely on cholesterol or blood pressure, it considers how different areas of health interact.

For some people, that one number feels easier to understand. For others, it raises more questions:

• Is this good or bad?
• Which results matter most?
• What should I do with this information?

That’s where reviewing your KYN score with a wellness professional can be especially helpful.

Looking at the full picture

A Health Coach or Health Professional doesn’t just review individual metric scores; they help you understand how everything fits together. Rather than focusing on one lab value or data point in isolation, a coach looks at patterns across your results and considers how they interact with your daily habits, lifestyle, and overall health goals.

Your personalized reports break down what’s contributing to your Know Your Number Health Risk Assessment score, but a conversation brings that information to life. A coach helps translate the data into practical insight, so it feels relevant, not overwhelming.

Through that discussion, a coach can help you:

• Identify which results matter most right now versus those that simply need monitoring
• Understand how different metrics influence one another and your overall risk profile
• Recognize what’s within your control today, and where small, realistic changes can make the biggest impact

Instead of feeling defined by a single number, you gain context, clarity, and direction. The score serves as a starting point for understanding your health, not a judgment or a final outcome.

Turning insight into action

Understanding your results is the first step. The next step is deciding what to focus on right now.

A wellness professional helps you turn your results into clear, realistic actions that fit into your real life, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Together, you might:

• Identify which numbers or habits matter most right now (and which can wait)
• Connect your results to everyday routines, like meals, movement, sleep, or stress
• Focus on prevention by reinforcing what’s already working well
• Break larger goals into one small, manageable habit at a time
• Adjust existing routines rather than adding something new

This approach keeps the focus on progress, not perfection, helping you make meaningful changes without feeling overwhelmed.

Support that meets you where you are

Sharing your KYN score isn’t about judgment or pressure. It’s about support. Whether your score feels reassuring or concerning, having someone walk you through it can make the experience feel less intimidating and more empowering.

Your number becomes a conversation starter, not a conclusion.

When you understand how your results connect and what they mean for your health, it’s easier to move forward with confidence and intention.
