Hey there, I'm Jared!

Why I Made This

Wearing a continuous glucose monitor has changed my life. I do not have a choice, I have Type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Honestly - I never wanted to get a CGM. I was already using an insulin pump and I was insecure about having another "thing" on me 24/7. I thought I was already doing well enough. Back then I was young, ignorant, and wanted to look good with my shirt off.

But then, everything changed when something happened to someone close to me…

Unironically, in 2015 - the girlfriend I was dating at the time was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Don't worry, I'm confident that T1D is not contagious (except for that outlier incident). Her doctor put her on a Dexcom G6 glucose monitor. Yea - that thing I refused to use myself.

Once I saw that trendline and data points I had the "this is going to change everything" moment. I went to my doctor and told her I was ready to try this thing out.

That's when everything changed.

I no longer had to guess what my blood sugar was. I could see what it was, where it was trending, and the impact of every single item of food I ate. Having T1D exacerbates the impact of all these choices. I have researched, tested, and done experiments on my own body to see what spikes my glucose (and what doesn't).

After doing this for over 10+ years, I started to talk about what I was doing publicly. I would share my experience and people took note. I noticed with the rise in metabolic health platforms and release of over the counter CGMs more and more people were coming to me asking questions like:

  • • Why is my blood glucose going this direction?
  • • I don't understand the data I'm seeing, help?!
  • • Is [attached screenshot] good or bad?
  • • How can I lower my glucose spikes?
  • • What the hell do these glucose scores mean?
  • • I just found out I'm pre-diabetic, how can I use a CGM to prevent progression?

For over the past 10 months I have answered those questions for over 50 friends, founders, and even my own father to help them understand, interpret, and make lifestyle changes by helping them understand their CGM data. I'm unreasonably passionate about CGMs and I do believe that you (without T1D) can change your life when wearing one of these bad boys for just 30 days. All they need is a little help…

That's where I come in.

In business the guys in suits talk about the LTV (life time value) of a customer. Me? My LTV is incredible - I will be a user of a CGM until diabetes gets cured or I croak. I'm not a betting man, but I'd put my money on that latter. But one can hope…

The companies that need to grow at all costs need to convince you that you need to constantly track and monitor your glucose levels to make meaningful changes. The incentives are misaligned. They need you to stay unhealthy and be confused in order to remain a customer. I think that's pretty f*cked up.

Enter You: the curious and proactive user that simply wants to understand your own health and figure out what's going on in your body.

I'm making a big bet: I believe all you need is just 30 days of CGM data and a little help to change your life.

This isn't a 'good' business model by Silicon Valley standards. Most companies want to keep you subscribed forever, dependent on their apps, and confused by their metrics.

I'm doing the opposite.

My goal is to give you everything you need in just 30 days - the knowledge, the tools, and the confidence to take control of your health. I want you to succeed so well that you won't need me anymore (though I'll still be here if you do). Yes, this means I'm essentially trying to work myself out of a job in 30 days. That's the point. This isn't about building a unicorn startup or maximizing LTV. This is about empowering to transform your health, all while surrounded by a community of people just as passionate about making real changes.

No more subscriptions, no more confusing graphs, no worthless doctor appointments.

I am going to help you:

  • • Make sense of your CGM data into actionable insights
  • • Connect you with others on the same journey through a community
  • • Show you practical techniques that actually work to lower your glucose spikes
  • • Create personalized strategies for your lifestyle - from food swaps to meal timing
  • • With ongoing support even after your 30 days (because real change isn't just about data)
  • • Achieve peace of mind by giving you the tools you need to take control of your own health
