Who Are We and How Are We Different?
Metabolic Livings mission is to make living healthy easier than living unhealthy. We do that by empowering people to fix their own health with our metabolism-first approach and supporting ecosystem. Our goal is to become the Apple of your metabolism. It just works.
There are 3 things that makes us different than other brands in the health and wellness space:
- Metabolism-First After 11 years of trial-and-error with 100k+ people, weve found that once you optimize your metabolism, you get the results you want: feeling your best, looking your best, performing your best and living longer. Your metabolism is your inner compass for health, but most people dont understand how to read it;once you do, itll tell you exactly what helps you thrive and what acts like Kryptonite to stay away from.
- Individualized-Approach Paleo may work great for one persons metabolism, Vegan for another, Keto for another, etc. Everyones different, so to achieve results that stick, those differences must be respected;if not, things will backfire. Thats why our approach is 100% customized to the individual there is no perfect program to find, it must be a for that specific person and support how their unique metabolism operates. This is where so many of the one-size-fits-all solutions fail today they dont respect our very real individual differences.
- Integrated Ecosystem Its simply too hard to live healthy lots of great individual solutions, but nothing is connected. The individual is left to stitch everything together, which is confusing. So, we simplify everything with an integrated suite of products and services you need to optimize your metabolism. We started with nutrition, then moved into exercise, then supplements, then coaching and are constantly pulling in new pieces of the health puzzle.
Finally, we power up this 3-pronged approach with our proprietary Metabolic Optimization System (or Metabolic OS) that combines extensive practitioner wisdom and scientific research with machine learning and AI to deliver a truly customized consumer experience. Our Metabolic OS pulls everything together to deliver the true customization, true integration and true transformation everyone wants.
Whats Our Past and Future?
Our company may be a bit confusing at first, but its because we built everything organically in reverse, starting with our first nutrition program in 2012, then our first exercise program in 2014 and then launching our full ecosystem of products, including nutraceuticals, functional foods, subscriptions, memberships, 1-on-1 coaching and more. Currently, these are all marketed separately under different DTC websites and brands in a direct response manner.
However, now everythings being centralized under our new brand, Metabolic Living, with our flagship e-comm website launching this Fall, with our app launching thereafter. Normally, companies launch with a brand and then figure out how to make money. We did that in reverse creating products that solve specific problems first, scaling that up to fund building out our team and infrastructure, and then retrofitting the brand on top.
Whats Our Culture Like?
Were serious about high-performance, so our culture is built around deep work to allow uninterrupted time for the focus needed to deliver world-class performance. At the same time, real collaboration and transparency is critical to keep us all in alignment and keep office politics out of the equation. These arent just talking points weve implemented specific policies, for example:
- A standardized 8:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET schedule to protect your personal and family time
- No meetings before 1 p.m. ET to empower you with 4 hours truly of deep work to GSD
- Daily huddles and weekly check-ins to brainstorm, align on priorities and remove bottlenecks
- No meetings the first week of the month to gain momentum for each 30-day sprint
