That’s the question I’ve dedicated the next 10 years of my life to.
This post marks the beginning of that journey.
I’m not a Stanford grad. I’m not an ex-Googler. I’m just a founder with a clear mission:
To build a unicorn from scratch—with no shortcuts, no prestige, and no pedigree. Just grit.
Over the next decade, I’ll be building in public.
Every 6 months, I’ll publish one progress report. This is Report #1 of 20.
The startup? It’s called UPDiet—and it’s where health meets the code.
Why HealthTech? Why Longevity? Why Nutrition?
Because nutrition is the most controllable factor in achieving a healthy lifespan.
I’ve had personal struggles with weight, cholesterol, and energy. I’ve watched loved ones suffer preventable illnesses. So I asked myself:
What if we could give everyone a roadmap to better health, tailored to their biology?
That’s the mission of UPDiet.
The Idea Behind UPDiet
While DNA and Microbiome testing are booming, most companies stop at the data.
They give you a report—maybe a score or two—but then you’re on your own.
UPDiet wants to change that. We combine:
- 🧬 Genetic insights (DNA)
- 🦠Microbiome test results
- 🩸 Blood biomarkers
- 🎯 Goals & habits
- 🧠Lifestyle patterns
…and use it to deliver ultra-personalized nutrition plans that are actually actionable.
We don’t just tell you what might work—we tell you exactly what to
eat,
cook,
and shop for.
