LEVELS

Levels is feedback for your nutrition.  It’s the first bio wearable to show the impact of food on your health in real-time. Levels gives members the ability to understand and track their blood sugar levels continuously and provides a window into their metabolic health. Levels pairs CGMs with insight-driven software to make it easy to know how foods and lifestyle choices are affecting health in real-time. It’s like wearing a mini-lab on your arm, and is the first tool to create a closed feedback loop on nutrition. Levels currently has a waitlist of more than 125,000. But, if you’re reading this you can skip the line using this custom link and level up your nutrition.

Drinkable Tech

Ketone-IQ

$120.00 for a 3 pack, or $4.00 a serving.

Only 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy. H.V.M.N. found a solution to reverse this trend by fueling our bodies with ketones, allowing us to experience myriad health benefits including sustained energy, boosted endurance and recovery, enhanced mental clarity, and appetite control. 

Ketone-IQ™ harnesses the efficacy of ketones in a simple, daily beverage. Elevating ketones often takes a lot of time and effort, usually involving fasting or a strict keto diet — until now. These scientific advances arrive at a moment when our metabolism is under attack, and Ketone-IQ utilizes these advances in a powerful drink that tastes pretty good too.

MUD\WTR 

Starter kits from $40

Rise, MUD/WTR’s original blend, is a coffee alternative made with organic ingredients celebrated by cultures young and old for their health and performance benefits. With 1/7th the caffeine of coffee, mud leans on ayurvedic herbs, adaptogens, and cacao to give you natural energy, focus, and immune support without having to worry about jitters or sleeping at night.

The mission of MUD\WTR is to improve human existence through what we put in our mug. Their beverages, :rise and :rest, were created as better-for-you bookends to everyone’s day, reinventing morning and evening rituals. More importantly, the brand empowers people to think better, and live healthier.

FlexIt Virtual Personal Training

Membership from $30/month

If I had a Valentine’s Day wish, it would be to have Emma Lovewell come to my house and do Tabata with me.  But since I can’t afford the child support, FlexIt Virtual Personal Training is a healthier option.
