Good morning 👋
For those who actually know me outside of work, you know a few things about me.
I would much rather be lifting / playing sports / doing something active vs. typing at a computer
I despise processed foods and seed oils, and I eat whole foods 90% of time
I get regular bloodwork to see where I’m in / out of range for different biomarkers
I refuse to take pharmaceuticals (not even Tylenol)
I am not a fan of traditional medicine, and I believe we have more than enough evidence to suggest that reactive healthcare and solving health issues through prescriptions is not working
These principles have served me well, I luckily don’t have any health issues yet, but most of the people in our country don’t have the same guiding rules for their health.
Instead, trillions of dollars go into creating unhealthy habits, then that investment is recouped in the form of prescriptive healthcare.
This creates a cycle of additional healthcare spending while not creating permanent changes to a person’s health.
We’re firm believers that that the future of healthcare will be proactive rather than reactive, and people will solve their own health issues through data instead of prescriptions.
That’s why we’re so excited by Superpower - a company that transforms the current healthcare system into one that is proactive and data-driven. We’re customers, and it’s the only product I’ve been thinking about for the past month or so.
Here’s how they’re thinking about healthcare 3.0 and the opportunity that it holds.

Healthcare 3.0 ⚕️
Healthcare is broken.
From poor food quality, to inescapable environmental toxins and a modern lifestyle that is hijacking our biology, it has never been harder to be healthy. And it’s clear that existing institutions aren’t working.
Food and pharmaceutical companies monetize our sickness, and no one has our best interests in mind:
Lifespan is going backwards
88% of people are metabolically unhealthy
8,000 chemicals exist in the US food supply
Obesity rates have more than tripled since 1960
Americans put an average of 168 chemicals on their bodies each day
Female infertility is at record highs
Male testosterone and sperm count are at record lows

Why is it so hard to be healthy?
In a world with more data and tools than ever before, why does it still feel so hard to take care of our health?
Where do I start?
Who do I trust?
How do I know what’s going on inside my body?
What products and practices do I really need?
The questions are simple.
The answers frustratingly complex.
So we built Superpower.
The world’s most comprehensive and convenient longevity system on the planet – a thoughtfully designed, all-in-one platform for easily improving our personal health. We deliver the most advanced diagnostics and vetted therapeutics to those who seek a longer, healthier and more vital life.
We believe that health should not be gate-kept by doctors or health systems, and that everyone should have sovereignty over their own health.
If healthcare were built today, it would look completely different.
Personalized. Preventative. Performance enhancing.
As the world demands more of us, we must demand more for ourselves.
Healthcare’s evolution
Healthcare 3.0 will evolve to be more focused on the patient with more data control, personalization, transparency, and cost savings.
Healthcare 1.0 | Healthcare 2.0 | Healthcare 3.0 |
|---|---|---|
💊 Reactive and Symptom-Based: Care focuses on treating symptoms after they appear. | 🩺 Preventative and Holistic: A focus on preventing illness, not just treating it. | ⚕️ Proactive and Optimized for Health: Focuses on maintaining and enhancing overall health, beyond just illness prevention. |
🥼 Doctor-Centric: Doctors and hospitals control health information; patients play a passive role. | 🤒 Patient-Centric: Patients have more access and control over their health data. | ⌗ Patient-Owned Data: Patients fully own their health data, which they control and use as needed. |
🤝 In-Person Visits: Physical appointments are the primary method of receiving care. | 🧑💻 Remote-First: Telemedicine and mobile apps enable remote care options. | 🔎 Personalized and Data-Driven: Highly customized treatments based on personal data (genetics, lifestyle, goals). |
🤷♂️ Siloed Data: Health records are confined to individual clinics or hospitals. | 🧾 Integrated Data Across Providers: Health records and wearable data are more accessible across systems. | 📶 Performance-Enhancing: Aims not only to prevent illness but to optimize mental and physical performance. |
💰 High and Opaque Costs: Expensive treatments, with limited visibility into pricing. | 👀 Cost Transparency: Patients have more information on healthcare costs and pricing. | 🔂 Continuous, Real-Time Monitoring: Wearables and other devices provide ongoing health insights. |
🥱 Standardized Care: Generalized treatments without much customization. | 😐 Some Personalization: Treatments and recommendations consider individual factors but are still generalized. | 🙂 Transparent, Accessible, and Lower-Cost Options: Direct, clear costs with options to access personalized care from anywhere. |
Our mission

We’re building Superpower to help increase the likelihood of this outcome, so that humanity may have the best possible future.
