207: Taking Your Health to the Next Level (with Josh Clemente of Levels)

207: Taking Your Health to the Next Level (with Josh Clemente of Levels)

Background on Josh Clemente of Levels:

Josh Clemente spent the first half of his professional career working at SpaceX and Hyperloop– two companies, one founded by and the other supported by Elon Musk. At SpaceX, Josh spent six years working on rocket and spacecraft systems, while at Hyperloop, Josh worked on infrastructure level engineering and life support systems development. To combat fatigue, Josh applied his characteristic engineering approach to his health by using glucose monitoring to analyze how his body converted food to usable energy. In time, through years of this self-experimentation and further exposure to metabolic research while at SpaceX, Josh would be compelled to go on to start Levels to help others improve their metabolic fitness.

Levels enables individuals to access their real-time biological information, combined with deep, actionable insights. Their program monitors your metabolic health and glucose level to help a person optimize their diet and exercise routine and stay healthy. Levels has come a long way from sixty blood glucose finger pricks per day, boasting features such as metabolic fitness scores, activity catalogs, and zone scores designed to help anyone craft their personalized optimal diet.

Key Point from the Interview:

“About a third of the people walking around currently are at a high risk of type 2 diabetes and they don’t know it, and we have 10% of the population with type 2 diabetes, and that’s increasing at an increasing rate. So it’s important that we change this philosophy around who should get access to their body’s information and when. And we need to start putting it earlier and earlier so that ultimately, we are all aware of how our bodies function and we’re making data driven decisions instead of random emotional decisions.”
