Metabolic health measures how effectively our body processes energy. Measuring glucose is the primary way we assess one’s metabolic health. And there is mounting evidence that poor metabolic health leads to many chronic conditions like diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.
The problem historically has been our tools for measuring glucose have been too episodic to be useful. Fasting glucose and Hemoglobin a1c show patients a snapshot, but can’t tell them why the measure is what it is, or what to do about it.
Levels health is trying to change that. By using continuous glucose monitors and pairing it with a mobile app, they show you how the things you eat and the way you live your life impact your glucose. It turns out the things that influence glucose vary widely from person to person, and learning what spikes your glucose can lead to much more actionable changes.
I was a very early beta tester of levels and can speak to how it changed the way I approach eating, sleep, and stress management. So I couldn’t be more share my conversation with Maz Brumand, head of business at Levels. In this conversation we discuss why Levels made the decision to go direct to consumer, why they believe a closed signup process is better for startups early on, what they’ve learned about user behavior with wearable devices, why they invested in organic channels from the beginning, and much more.
