Episode #585: Democratizing Preventive Health-Hunter Ziesing's Vision for Longevity and Data-Driven Wellness
On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Hunter Ziesing, founder of Longevity Health, to dive into the rapidly chaing volving world of preventive health and personal wellness data. Bringing decades of experience from Wall Street, athletic pursuits, and nonprofit work, Hunter shares his inspiration for moving into longevity and healthspan solutions after seeing friends and family struggle with preventable health issues.
He discusses Longevity Health's mission: Democratizing access to clinical-grade health data and AI-driven recommendations. . . basically what elite practitioners charge six figures for, made accessible to the masses. Learn about how he aims to empower individuals to truly own their health data, integrate information from wearables and medical tests, and leverage AI for personalized action.
This episode also explores the business of building scalable solutions, collaborating with fitness chains, and balancing the desire to revolutionize public health with mindful entrepreneurship.
On affordable (preventative!) health care for all, Zasing states, " My mission is to really give people the Peter Attia. You know. . .what he charges $150,000 for, for as little as 30 cents a day."
Key themes discussed
- Leveraging personal health data for prevention and longevity
- AI integration in health management and recommendations
- Consumer ownership and use of health data
- Partnerships with fitness clubs and labs for testing
- Transition from nonprofit to for-profit health ventures
- Scaling health platforms through technology and collaborations
- Challenges and vision for democratizing preventive healthcare
A Few Key Takeaways:
1.Data-Driven Personalized Health is the Future: Hunter is building a platform (Longevity Health) that brings together personal health data—from wearables, medical records, blood tests, and more—to help guide individuals in preventative health and wellness. His mission is to democratize access, offering "Peter Attia-level" insights at an affordable price.
2. Behavior Change is Achievable and Measurable: Through previous ventures like the national cycling series supporting Livestrong, and his work at Paceline, Hunter demonstrated that motivating people with goals, teams, and rewards (even as simple as a dollar for hitting your heart rate target) can create real, lasting behavior change.
3. AI-Powered Recommendations Enhance Preventive Care: The company is beta testing an AI engine that analyzes your consolidated health data, gives personalized recommendations, and will eventually act almost like a virtual doctor. For now, a human clinician still reviews and oversees the AI's conclusions, ensuring safety and accuracy.
4. Consumer Ownership Over Health Data is Key: Both Ziesing and Pete discuss the importance of individuals owning their own health data. Regulatory shifts (even tech giants like Apple and Google are getting behind this) are beginning to empower consumers, rather than siloing data within companies.
5. Partnerships and Integrations Will Drive Scale: Rather than trying to own every piece of the ecosystem, Hunter emphasizes the strategy of partnering with gyms, health clubs, and existing testing providers. The vision is to make Longevity Health the connective "last mile" that ties together disparate data to deliver actionable insight—potentially white-labeling the tech or integrating with large fitness chains for scale.

00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,360
This is Pete Moore on Halo Talks nyc. I have the pleasure of bringing
2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,040
Hunter straight from Longevity Health to tell you about the future
3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:12,800
of health and Halo. Hunter, welcome to the show.
4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,720
Thanks for having me on. Awesome. So you've got a
5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,000
background similar to mine, so why don't you just talk about
6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,560
your progression, on how you got into the longevity,
7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,270
anti aging and the health game from where you started, and
8
00:00:28,270 --> 00:00:31,710
then we'll talk about what your mission is. Sure. Thanks.
9
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:35,550
Yeah, at an early age, I went to Wall street, specialized in
10
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:39,070
healthcare, consumer and technology companies for 20 years.
11
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:43,070
I was always a huge athlete into sports and health and wellness. And
12
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:47,590
in fact, Lance Armstrong used to come in the office all the time because my,
13
00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:51,350
my boss was the founder of the Discovery US Postal team. So I got
14
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:55,110
into cycling. But, you know, when I turned late 30s, early 40s,
15
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:58,610
I started losing friends to, you know, various infectious diseases. All my
16
00:00:58,610 --> 00:01:02,370
fraternity brothers were getting out of shape and always turning to me for, you know,
17
00:01:02,370 --> 00:01:06,210
health advice. And then I lost three or four friends to
18
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:09,530
infectious diseases. My dad died from complications from
19
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:13,369
mental issues and pancreatic cancer,
20
00:01:14,490 --> 00:01:18,090
and a lot of that stuff was preventable. So
21
00:01:18,090 --> 00:01:21,730
I, I took a wide out in my early 40s and I founded
22
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:24,830
a nonprofit to help raise money for
23
00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:28,790
cancer prevention. Lance was focused on Livestrong, the yellow
24
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:32,590
bracelets, which was an incredible product that helped people once
25
00:01:32,590 --> 00:01:36,230
they got cancer. We focus more on
26
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:39,869
prevention, and that's what I'm kind of doing with Longevity Health. It's kind of building
27
00:01:39,869 --> 00:01:43,630
the Livestrong model, but for the masses, for health. Got it.
28
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:46,830
And then from a standpoint of how you attacked
29
00:01:47,150 --> 00:01:50,710
that angle of cancer prevention, was that through
30
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:55,190
partnerships? Was that through just direct education and trying to
31
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:58,390
get people to change their lifestyles or. Great question.
32
00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:02,550
I started a national cycling series in
33
00:02:02,710 --> 00:02:06,150
benefiting Livestrong cancer centers, where you had to fundraise and
34
00:02:06,150 --> 00:02:09,990
exercise and ride 100 miles to be part of it, and you
35
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:13,830
had to raise money. So we did that. We raised tens
36
00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:17,380
of millions of dollars for cancer research centers all around the country.
37
00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:21,180
But there was a, there was a social element to it, you know, fundraising, getting
38
00:02:21,180 --> 00:02:24,900
people together on teams to, you know, like, go, sort of go fund me, like,
39
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:29,140
and, you know, we were changing people's behavior. So in addition
40
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:32,700
to, you know, focusing on seeing money for cancer as we were motivating and
41
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:36,460
moving people. Yeah, I was involved early on, not as
42
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:39,940
a, not as a founder, but a friend of mine had gotten
43
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:44,500
some sarcoma and started Cycle for Survival
44
00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:48,810
and ended up partnering up with Equinox and Memorial Slope Kettering. So yeah, same concept.
45
00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:53,250
Shout out to Jen Goodman and Dave Lynn. Yeah, they've raised
46
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:56,810
hundreds of millions of dollars and that's gone directly towards research
47
00:02:56,890 --> 00:03:00,090
without any, you know, expense ratio,
48
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:04,250
you know, that kind of drops out. So from there
49
00:03:04,970 --> 00:03:08,650
you decided to now turn this more into a for profit
50
00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:12,610
venture with longevity. Two years before I started this company,
51
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:16,290
I was with a startup called Paceline, which is a company that you
52
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:20,010
wear a Garmin, a Fitbit or an Apple watch and it tracks your heart rate.
53
00:03:20,410 --> 00:03:24,050
And each week you elevate your heart rate to 150 minutes of
54
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:27,570
elevated heart rate, which could be a run, a walk, a ride or just going
55
00:03:27,570 --> 00:03:31,290
to the gym. Slightly better than your resting heart rate. And the
56
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:35,930
American heart association recommends 150 minutes of
57
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:39,710
elevated heart rate each week. And you'd be surprised how hard that
58
00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:43,510
is to do. So each week you would get a reward such
59
00:03:43,510 --> 00:03:47,110
as a dollar. And we built that to a million user downloads and
60
00:03:47,510 --> 00:03:50,870
really proved that we can change behavior with it because people would fight to get
61
00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:54,630
to their 150 minutes each week at the same time. I was very familiar
62
00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:56,710
with the health system and very frustrated with,
63
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:01,910
I'm very frustrated still with our health system. I think Obamacare
64
00:04:02,630 --> 00:04:06,390
certainly is sick care. And I've always wanted to build a company to
65
00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:10,020
use people's data to help them guide
66
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:13,740
themselves through health prevention. And some of the common tests that you're seeing
67
00:04:13,740 --> 00:04:17,420
today, which are pretty incredible, like blood tests and DEXA scans
68
00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:21,060
and sleep studies, ORA ring, all this data. And
69
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:24,579
my mission is to really, you know, give people the
70
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:28,900
Peter Attia. You know what Peter Attia charges
71
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:32,580
$150,000 for, for as little as 30 cents a
72
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:36,270
day. So giving the masses the tools to use
73
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:40,030
their data to help them, guide them through there. And I can
74
00:04:40,030 --> 00:04:43,710
get into that in a second. So that's, that's where I went from pipeline to
75
00:04:43,710 --> 00:04:46,830
behavioral change. And now I got to get in the health system and build a
76
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:49,910
platform that democratizes data for consumers.
77
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:54,030
Right. You know, there's all this data sitting at the health
78
00:04:54,030 --> 00:04:57,270
club operators and the wearable
79
00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:01,110
Companies such as MyZone is a company that does
80
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,000
a lot of heart rate monitor tracking and it goes up on the LED
81
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,080
displays. The one thing that I've been shocked by
82
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,600
is that one, anyone who's collaborating
83
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,160
in the data ecosystem, they're the ones that always say, I own the data.
84
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Everyone thinks they own the data. I think the individual actually owns
85
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,880
the data. But you see that
86
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,120
they're sitting on the data, but it's not being used in a
87
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,720
preventative way, yet everyone talks about that. It's all this
88
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,240
golden information. And are you basically like the,
89
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,960
to use kind of like a broadband analogy, but are you kind of like the
90
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,520
last mile to say, like, look, we've got all this information out now I'm going
91
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,240
to actually tell you how to utilize it, deploy it and turn it into
92
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800
action. Okay, so you last mile Longevity Health is the last mile
93
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,480
of the, of the game here on the health. Now, we're also the first mile.
94
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,280
So first of all, all that wearable data, gym data, it's clinically
95
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,590
irrelevant. Aura is great. I'm going to partner with Aura.
96
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:06,510
That stuff's better for gamification and behavioral change or using this part
97
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:10,190
as coaching plan. So if, like Pete, you've got an issue with your in your
98
00:06:10,190 --> 00:06:13,790
health and it requires certain types of exercise, we'll track that data and then we'll
99
00:06:13,790 --> 00:06:17,350
remind you through the app. But for me, it really starts with,
100
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:21,510
you know, why?
101
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:27,040
Why are people doing this and what's going on
102
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,760
in your life and what are the resources that we can
103
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,600
use from all your data, your test data, your medical data,
104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,280
a longitudinal data, not just a blood test, not just because you went to
105
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,560
the gym last week, but looking at every aspect of your life from your medical
106
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,400
records to your wearable data. And
107
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,320
it's your data. You should own your own data. Consumers should own their own data.
108
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,040
And that's changing because Apple, Google, I think Microsoft
109
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,800
were just back in D.C. last year advocating for consumers to own
110
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,520
their own data. You know, like Aura, I think doesn't give you all your
111
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,160
data, right? You only get part of it. So that's changing. And
112
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,920
then nobody has really taken this data and power the
113
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,720
consumers and then layered an AI engine on top of it that analyzes
114
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,000
it. And that's something that we're doing right now. You can literally talk to this.
115
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,840
I can demo it on your call here. You can talk to the AI agent.
116
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,160
It'll read all your stuff and make recommendations. And then
117
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,770
eventually, when the regulatory environment is available,
118
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:28,690
we can allow an AI agent
119
00:07:28,930 --> 00:07:31,650
overlooking your data to become your primary doc.
120
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:38,090
This is Pete Moore. I want to let you in on a little secret. There's
121
00:07:38,090 --> 00:07:41,490
this company called Promotion Vault. And what they do is they give out rewards
122
00:07:41,810 --> 00:07:45,490
from retailers that allow you to incentivize your
123
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:49,340
members without having to do zero down and one month free
124
00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:53,380
or giving away shakes or giving away T shirts. What you want to
125
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:56,900
do is build a rewards program that lasts, that people
126
00:07:56,900 --> 00:08:00,060
value and that doesn't discount your own products and services.
127
00:08:00,540 --> 00:08:04,060
So here's the deal. There's something called Rewards Vault. The Rewards
128
00:08:04,140 --> 00:08:07,980
Vault is going to allow a member to set up their own profile.
129
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:11,980
They are going to answer questions, you are going to get those answers, you're going
130
00:08:11,980 --> 00:08:15,640
to be able to target those members and you're going to reward them in, inside
131
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,320
your club, inside your spa and outside of the club and
132
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,120
outside of the spa to get them to become loyal, to get them
133
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,480
to pay their monthly dues and to be rewarded
134
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,000
properly for the actions. A lot of companies are cutting back on rewards.
135
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,840
You shouldn't be promotion vaults. Your answer, trust me, this is
136
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,160
real.
137
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,320
So let's, let's dig deep in for a second. On, on the AI
138
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,129
side, have you actually trained the
139
00:08:46,129 --> 00:08:49,729
answers to that AI or is that already embedded
140
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:53,369
in the learnings of whether it's a Gemini or ChatGPT
141
00:08:54,249 --> 00:08:57,849
and they're feeding that out or are you actually kind of refining
142
00:08:57,849 --> 00:09:01,369
what the answers are and results or action
143
00:09:01,369 --> 00:09:05,129
plan with longitudinal? The latter. Gemini and
144
00:09:05,609 --> 00:09:08,329
OpenAI do some amazing things, but
145
00:09:09,449 --> 00:09:13,160
AI is still, it hallucinates and makes mistakes, stakes, doesn't
146
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,480
find all the right data. So we're training, you know, we're running a rag on
147
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,080
top of that and training it. And that's why we're actually raising capital right
148
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,840
now to, you know, we're beta testing this AI product,
149
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720
this voice agent, which I'll demo in a second. And then we are, we are
150
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,560
training the models on top of. We'll never build our own AI
151
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:35,240
model. In fact, OpenAI and Anthropic
152
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,840
are doing what we're doing now. They're announcing, they've announced in the last week they're
153
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,560
going to consolidate your health data. But in my opinion, they'll never figure out the
154
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:46,360
clinical system side. We'll be able to go across your data and be a clinical
155
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,120
doctor on top of that model and maybe we'll partner with those guys. Maybe, you
156
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,640
know who, you know, because I want a billion users on this platform. This isn't,
157
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,480
isn't a, a toy story. Yeah. So, so when you say
158
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,520
I want to build users on that, you've got the AI, that, that, that's helping
159
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,240
scale that. Do, do you also have people with,
160
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,520
with the knowledge to basically, you know, when they see something
161
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:12,870
that gets kind of flagged and then you, you, you actually, this human
162
00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:17,110
interaction and human, you know, modifications to, to what's going on.
163
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:21,350
You'Re, you're asking amazingly great questions. I'll give you some credit.
164
00:10:21,430 --> 00:10:24,310
So first of our first product is Peter attia
165
00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:28,390
he charges $150,000 for a longevity clinic.
166
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:31,710
We're, we're in market with our own right now. It's a virtual clinic. We charge
167
00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:35,330
$10,000. We do a lot of testing, blood
168
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:38,970
testing, DEXA scan, all this stuff, then we analyze it. It's a
169
00:10:38,970 --> 00:10:42,530
HIPAA compliant business. It's not highly
170
00:10:42,530 --> 00:10:46,090
scalable because it's 10 grand a year now. Right now we're
171
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:49,610
testing. It's a great product because if you go to a bricks and mortar
172
00:10:49,610 --> 00:10:53,050
longevity clinic, they're going to charge 20 or 30,000. We do it for 10.
173
00:10:55,130 --> 00:10:58,650
We want to be in that business while AI catches up.
174
00:10:59,050 --> 00:11:02,780
And we want to be a clinician because like I said, I don't think anthropic
175
00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:06,260
or OpenAI is ever going to be a clinician. And a lot of these
176
00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:09,980
testing companies out there are selling you supplements and tests and all this
177
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:13,540
stuff. And we want to be. We want to help people with their health.
178
00:11:13,780 --> 00:11:17,540
So the next version we're testing right now in a private beta is $100
179
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:21,500
a month and you can store all your data in
180
00:11:21,500 --> 00:11:25,300
one place on an AWS server and the
181
00:11:28,430 --> 00:11:32,230
read your records and make recommendations. And then to
182
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:35,870
answer your question, which is a smart question because AI is not
183
00:11:35,870 --> 00:11:39,390
proven completely yet, a doctor still looks at it.
184
00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:43,390
Gotcha. So. So you want to do. I'll just give you a quick example. I'm
185
00:11:43,390 --> 00:11:45,630
just going to call it. This will take. Yeah, yeah, I was just going to
186
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:48,870
say, like, do a demo. Yeah, yeah, I'll just, I'll just call it right now.
187
00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:52,510
It's a little wonky, but here I'm just. It's got all my records. I'll
188
00:11:52,510 --> 00:11:56,290
just. Here we go. Pretty good.
189
00:11:56,290 --> 00:11:59,930
Can you hear me, Jesse? Yes, I can hear you perfectly.
190
00:11:59,930 --> 00:12:03,570
How have things been going for you? Pretty good. Hey, say hi to
191
00:12:03,570 --> 00:12:07,370
Pete. I'm on a live podcast right now and maybe we'll get him
192
00:12:07,370 --> 00:12:10,890
into the program and pull up my last
193
00:12:10,890 --> 00:12:14,570
blood test and sort of give me a quick summary. Hello,
194
00:12:14,570 --> 00:12:17,810
Pete, it's great to have you listening. And Hunter, I'd be happy to give you
195
00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:21,300
a quick summary of your last blood test. So I'm pulling up the results
196
00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:24,180
from August 9, 2025 right now.
197
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:30,740
Did you name it or. Jesse's like. He's. He's like the
198
00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:34,700
guy for the entire network. Yeah, there shouldn't be a delay,
199
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:37,940
so. So like I said, it's still wonky right now.
200
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:43,820
Are you still there? Yes, I'm still here, Hunter. I
201
00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:47,430
apologize for any delay or technical issues on my end. Ready to continue
202
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:51,230
whenever you are. All right, actually, pull up my DEXA scan for
203
00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:54,750
me and give me a quick summary. All right,
204
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:57,896
Hunter, I'm pulling up your dexa scan from July 11,
205
00:12:58,044 --> 00:13:01,510
2025. It showed a healthy BMI of 24.4
206
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:05,310
and a total body fat percentage of 24.7%, which is within the
207
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:08,910
normal range. Your bone mineral density was also within normal
208
00:13:08,910 --> 00:13:12,630
parameters, and there were no values that stood out as concerning.
209
00:13:12,940 --> 00:13:16,740
Overall, it was consistent with a healthy profile for your age. Does that make
210
00:13:16,740 --> 00:13:20,060
sense? It does, but why is my BMI so high? I'm.
211
00:13:20,380 --> 00:13:21,820
Maybe because I gain weight.
212
00:13:23,980 --> 00:13:27,700
That's a great question, Hunter. While your BMI of 24.4 is
213
00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:31,260
technically in the higher end of the normal range, it's important to remember that
214
00:13:31,260 --> 00:13:35,060
BMI doesn't always tell the whole story, especially for active individuals like
215
00:13:35,060 --> 00:13:38,700
yourself. Yeah, thanks. Hey, send me a
216
00:13:38,700 --> 00:13:42,540
copy of my exercise plan and I'll check back with you later. I'm
217
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:46,070
going to jump back on this call. Absolutely,
218
00:13:46,070 --> 00:13:49,710
Hunter. So I'll get a text in an email with my. My diet
219
00:13:49,710 --> 00:13:53,350
plan. It's so funny. I'm. I've been an avid cyclist my whole life, and, like,
220
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:56,990
I have, like, zero body fat, but I. I've started this company and I put
221
00:13:56,990 --> 00:14:00,710
on weight. I don't look fat. I'm probably 10 pounds over my race weight.
222
00:14:00,790 --> 00:14:04,470
My BMIs at the high end of the range, I gotta. I gotta kick
223
00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:08,270
out that. That's funny to
224
00:14:08,270 --> 00:14:11,780
talk about. How that information got into your system
225
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:16,180
is that somebody did. So if I. If I was
226
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:19,940
to join one of your clinics or virtual
227
00:14:20,420 --> 00:14:24,100
longevity retreats, or what do you call
228
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:27,940
it? Just our longevity clinic. Yeah, so.
229
00:14:27,940 --> 00:14:31,300
So I would get that done at a local
230
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:35,460
outlet here, or I'd go get my. Get my
231
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,080
done. We're partnered all over the country with. With labs and
232
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,360
testing facilities. We'll never open our own. We just partner with everybody
233
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,160
and we just make the process really easy. And when you get your test done,
234
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,720
it automatically downloads through an API into your private account.
235
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,920
And then. Then the AI reads it and makes recommendations, and then our doctors over,
236
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,360
you know, look at it. Remember I said, I just got my text. Text of
237
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,080
my plan. The doc. Our doctors read over it.
238
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,660
That's $100 a month. So it's. It's on the way to becoming
239
00:15:05,740 --> 00:15:09,340
an AI doctor. And if you've had other tests done, you can download them,
240
00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:13,460
but the very first call is going to be much more personal. It's
241
00:15:13,460 --> 00:15:17,100
like Joaquin Phoenix in the movie her from 2016,
242
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:20,140
where he falls in. Love with the computer, you'll talk to him. It's gonna say,
243
00:15:20,140 --> 00:15:23,900
hey, Pete, what's going on in your life? How old are you? What are
244
00:15:23,900 --> 00:15:26,580
you worried about? What, you know, what happened in your family? What do you. Have
245
00:15:26,580 --> 00:15:29,540
you had any tests done? What's. What are you trying to achieve? And then it
246
00:15:29,540 --> 00:15:33,370
develops a relationship with you and it remembers your conversation and it
247
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:36,690
builds a file on you. And then you can start downloading more and more tests
248
00:15:36,690 --> 00:15:39,890
and data. That's where we are right now. Eventually,
249
00:15:40,530 --> 00:15:44,210
everything in there, which we can do now. All your, Your aura ring data,
250
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:47,970
your Strava data, your workout data, your egym data, and then
251
00:15:48,050 --> 00:15:51,570
we will incorporate coaching plans into that and then provide you
252
00:15:51,570 --> 00:15:55,170
incentives to follow it. Now, do you have a
253
00:15:55,170 --> 00:15:58,850
trademark on the use of the, of Longevity Health as
254
00:15:58,930 --> 00:16:02,760
the name of the company? No. Okay, but is
255
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,360
that, that is going to be the name of the company that isn't?
256
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,760
Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'd be curious of what your, any of your investors
257
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,160
or listeners think, you know, do we come up with a brand name? Like I
258
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,760
was calling. My previous company was called Health Hub, which was, you
259
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,240
know, sort of like an anthropic open AI way of
260
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,840
combining all your data. There's no money in combining data. It's a data
261
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,360
aggregation play. You need to provide clinical value. So I think. Yeah, yeah,
262
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,760
I, I think so. I think just storing data doesn't do anything and we have
263
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,400
to. So I think Longevity is, is a. Not a bad name. It,
264
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,000
it's not really. We're not prolonging people's lives. We're really
265
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,080
increasing health span and reducing health care costs. So maybe
266
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,880
wonder if you. I wonder. No, I, I
267
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,960
like it. I was, I was curious if you actually would be able to get
268
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,800
that copyright just given the use. I think it's. I don't know about copyrighting the
269
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,240
name Longevity Health. It's kind of like it's such a ubiquitous name.
270
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,240
Yeah. I don't think anybody, anybody. And we might just become the de
271
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,800
facto. When I go to con. We're a small company, but I was at the
272
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,120
JP Morgan conference,
273
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,320
small meeting and like, oh, Longevity Health. We know you guys. I'm like, no,
274
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,040
you don't. You know, but people, people think
275
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,840
we're this big company, which is great. Yeah, it's great. Well, I mean,
276
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,200
if, if you do those demos and you got this guy pulling data like that,
277
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,050
you know, it's almost as if the size of
278
00:17:25,050 --> 00:17:28,290
your company or the amount of employees you have might be irrelevant.
279
00:17:29,170 --> 00:17:32,770
If you have the right technology in the right, hey, I think I can. Build
280
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:36,890
a multi, multi trillion dollar
281
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:40,650
business by changing the nature of preventive health
282
00:17:40,650 --> 00:17:43,810
with data for 20 to 30 cents a day
283
00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:48,530
globally and partner with everybody. So everybody, we become
284
00:17:48,530 --> 00:17:51,570
everybody's friend and maybe OpenAI is going to do it and they're going to give
285
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:55,030
it away for free. But like I said, I think you need provide clinical value
286
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:56,590
to people and AI can do it.
287
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:03,710
This is Pete Moore. Here's the last tip for you of the podcast.
288
00:18:03,950 --> 00:18:06,910
We are partnered up with a company called higher dose
289
00:18:07,150 --> 00:18:10,510

00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:05,580
happy, healthy and sweating and the recovery should be.
305
00:19:05,580 --> 00:19:06,820
Just as good as the workout.
306
00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:14,260
And so, so as, as you kind of think about, look, you, you, you came
307
00:19:14,260 --> 00:19:17,830
from a, a finance background. You, you're, you're a
308
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:21,270
capitalist by trade. Obviously you went out and started a non profit and,
309
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:24,830
and did a lot of great things for a lot of people. So at, at
310
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:28,230
this point in, in this company, how do you
311
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:32,510
kind of toggle between I'm going to create a multi trillion
312
00:19:32,510 --> 00:19:35,550
dollar company. I also want to help like 10,000 people make sure that they stay
313
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:39,310
alive and, and use my data and on the phone with Jesse, you
314
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:42,860
know, as much as they can. How do you kind of balance your entrepreneurial
315
00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:46,620
spirit and your like capitalistic, you know,
316
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:50,620
desires. It's a tough, that's a tough one because
317
00:19:50,620 --> 00:19:53,340
we do need to raise some capital to build this out. I don't want to
318
00:19:53,340 --> 00:19:56,860
raise too much money and dilute the company or the younger employees
319
00:19:58,380 --> 00:20:01,660
that are going to be in this for 20, 30 years. I don't want to
320
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:05,060
raise too much money and just buy the business, you know, using marketing dollars to
321
00:20:05,060 --> 00:20:08,540
buy consumers. I think, you know, and I'm also at the stage of my Life.
322
00:20:08,540 --> 00:20:12,280
I'm not, you know, fresh off the, you know, the birth boat here. I'm in
323
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,040
my early 60s, I have the energy of a 30 year old and I've got
324
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,560
an amazing young team working around me and I've just been around long enough that
325
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,360
I have a lot of contacts in Washington D.C. and then major
326
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:27,160
Silicon Valley companies who are behind me and that I
327
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,960
have this mission to change the nature of preventive health. So
328
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,120
I don't want to, you know, drop names, but there's some big, some big
329
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600
likes of, you know, the Amazons and the Metas of the world, the Stravas of
330
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,180
the world, Apple Computer who,
331
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:45,340
Anthropic, all these guys. I'm talking to every one of them like, look, I don't
332
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,260
want to be your competitor. I want to change the nature of preventive health. I'll
333
00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:52,060
use your platforms like Amazon. I'm not going to compete with, with One
334
00:20:52,060 --> 00:20:55,820
Medical and maybe One Medical will build this themselves. But
335
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,500
if I integrate into One Medical, why wouldn't One Medical just
336
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:03,100
use us to help consumers be more efficient? Because
337
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:06,400
guess what, they're going to go get procedures done at One Medical.
338
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,600
So the answer is I think I can scale this thing through major
339
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,800
partnerships and not buying it with venture money. Yeah, well,
340
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,640
I do, I do think that they're, look, I mean if I, if I
341
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,359
hearken back to high school and, and everyone was using
342
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,080
Microsoft Windows and Excel and you start to use those
343
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,560
systems or you, or you get On Gmail, right, 20 years ago,
344
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,600
what do you do? What are you on now? I'm on Gmail. Right. So
345
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:36,490
I feel like there's a first mover advantage in where you're at right
346
00:21:36,490 --> 00:21:39,450
now. Where, if you could aggregate enough
347
00:21:39,530 --> 00:21:43,290
influencers and like early adopters and super users,
348
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:48,170
what would be the rationale for them to port their
349
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:51,850
information off of your system? If you're providing
350
00:21:51,850 --> 00:21:55,210
everything that they need from a data
351
00:21:55,690 --> 00:21:59,030
request standpoint, like we just did with Jesse, from a,
352
00:22:00,470 --> 00:22:04,230
a prescription basis, I, I, I, I'm just a
353
00:22:04,230 --> 00:22:07,070
creature of habit and I think a lot of people are. So once I get
354
00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:10,870
on a system and it works like, you can never convince me to like go
355
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:14,510
on Android, right? I'm, I'm an Apple user. So I guess my point is
356
00:22:14,510 --> 00:22:17,630
like if I'm on Longevity, Health or whatever, you name it, I got all my
357
00:22:17,630 --> 00:22:21,470
information there that's provided me what I need and I'm getting the results I
358
00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:24,910
want. If somebody came to me and said, hey, for, for
359
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:28,590
24 cents a day instead of 30 cents a day you could get on my
360
00:22:28,590 --> 00:22:32,110
system. Why would I do that? Right. It just doesn't make sense. So I feel
361
00:22:32,110 --> 00:22:35,950
like you might be. Like, that's why I say anthropic and open AI might do
362
00:22:35,950 --> 00:22:39,590
that. They might make it free and they get the land grab.
363
00:22:39,590 --> 00:22:43,350
But we'll find ways to layer into those by adding
364
00:22:43,990 --> 00:22:47,670
an AI engine on top of that for clinical value to
365
00:22:47,670 --> 00:22:51,360
actually provide value to you. So yeah, that's a good question.
366
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:55,160
And one of my competitors raising money might just do, do very
367
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,920
much like you know, I started a company similar to gofundme when I
368
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,640
was with my non profit and gofundme got the category. They, they
369
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,280
became the category killer. And sometimes you need to raise a shitload of
370
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,120
money from VCs to go buy the business. I. Right, I
371
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,560
hope I don't have to do that because I want to do exactly that. I
372
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,320
want cradle to grave data owned by consumers. So
373
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,990
when you're like 85 years old and your kids are taking care of you, all
374
00:23:20,990 --> 00:23:23,630
your data is there. They know what you're eating, they know where you like to
375
00:23:23,630 --> 00:23:26,910
travel, they know what you like to wear, you know, they know how to change
376
00:23:26,910 --> 00:23:30,150
your diapers. The caregiver comes in and knows what to do. But right now we
377
00:23:30,150 --> 00:23:33,950
don't have any of that. It's a mess. So we, we would love to have
378
00:23:33,950 --> 00:23:37,590
that land grab. Well, let's do this. If you can get us
379
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:41,190
the, the information, we'll put it up on the show. Notes on, on the cap
380
00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:44,990
raise. I, I do agree with you that building a business and
381
00:23:44,990 --> 00:23:48,840
not just trying to create a moat by the, the amount
382
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,480
of money you raise and hope that you know, you, you outspend
383
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760
people. Like it sounds like you're pretty, you know,
384
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,080
grounded in the fact that if I deliver everything you need, I know what you,
385
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,400
what, what people need and I can see around the corner
386
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,840
people are going to gravitate towards that anyway. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
387
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,080
we'll see. I mean we are, we're at a million run rate right now with
388
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,720
our base business on our way to 10 million. That's correct. We are raising 2
389
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,000
million right now to offer engineering and development. We
390
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,840
anticipate Hopefully a 5x valuation round later this
391
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,320
year to do a big seed round. So I'm looking for, you know, if any
392
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,800
of your investors are looking for this particular round. This is the,
393
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:31,920
the cheapest that people can get in. I don't want to call it the riskiest.
394
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,880
We could raise a lot more money and I'm looking for
395
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,440
People that not only drink my change the nature of
396
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,880
health Kool Aid, that people that can help us make those
397
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,040
introductions to distribution partners.
398
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:50,360
Lastly, we just booked a huge B2B trial yesterday
399
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:54,040
because eventually this will go all B2B. You'll still own your own data, but your
400
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,640
company will have access to the data. And we can trump
401
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,400
all the actuarial data from claims data. Using health data
402
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,080
to help companies reduce healthcare reserves and costs.
403
00:25:05,730 --> 00:25:09,530
So I'm looking for investors that can make more introductions. Awesome.
404
00:25:09,530 --> 00:25:13,170
Well, feel free to use our Halo acronym because we're trying to
405
00:25:13,330 --> 00:25:17,130
get people to live a halo lifestyle. This is a huge component of
406
00:25:17,130 --> 00:25:20,770
that. And let's see if we can be helpful
407
00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:24,170
to you not just on the investor
408
00:25:24,170 --> 00:25:27,530
introductions, but our whole business on the
409
00:25:27,530 --> 00:25:31,170
advisory side is really bricks and mortar health and fitness companies
410
00:25:31,170 --> 00:25:34,870
and boutiques and large chains. So that's where, that's where the people
411
00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:38,710
are that are actually motivated to do this. Who's some of the bigger chains you
412
00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:42,070
guys are working with? We work, we do a lot of work with Planet Fitness.
413
00:25:42,070 --> 00:25:45,430
We do a lot of work with Orange Theory, Crunch Fitness.
414
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:48,710
We've done transactions with
415
00:25:49,910 --> 00:25:53,150
eos, which is a big chain out in the
416
00:25:53,150 --> 00:25:56,870
Southwest. Choose Fitness. So yeah, a lot,
417
00:25:56,870 --> 00:26:00,310
a lot of the bigger bots, middle market clubs is where the best market
418
00:26:00,470 --> 00:26:04,310
is. We work with Crunch and with Orange Theory and. I know,
419
00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:08,150
I know, I know. Brahm at Lifetime. I mean, they're
420
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:11,430
trying to do their, they're trying to do their own thing in health. But
421
00:26:11,910 --> 00:26:15,709
ultimately, like partnering with those fitness clubs are,
422
00:26:15,709 --> 00:26:18,590
are going to be where we're going to grow this company. Because one, we can
423
00:26:18,590 --> 00:26:22,350
put blood tests that we can do the DEXA scans in there, we can
424
00:26:22,350 --> 00:26:25,590
do the blood tests in their centers, we can give them a revenue share
425
00:26:26,540 --> 00:26:30,340
or we can white label this platform into theirs. So it's Planet
426
00:26:30,340 --> 00:26:34,100
Fitness, you know, by Longevity Health. So there's. Those are
427
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:37,940
incredible. I'd love to talk to you more offline about it. Yeah, let's do that.
428
00:26:37,940 --> 00:26:41,660
Well, thanks for coming on. Love what you're doing. Keep up the great work
429
00:26:41,660 --> 00:26:44,700
and let's see if it could be helpful to you and go Halo. Thanks.
430
00:26:45,020 --> 00:26:45,580
