When you started InsideTracker, what was the problem that you believed almost everyone else was missing and you had to start this company?

Gil BlanderGUEST
At that time, it's weird because it's 17 years ago, but it looked like ages, that you can use biomarkers in your body in order to help you to optimize your health, not just treat disease.

Gil BlanderGUEST
Because at that time, it was nobody thought even about, let's take a look at your blood cholesterol or blood glucose or your HSCRP, which is a marker of inflammation, and instead to treat a disease, help us, people that are not sick, to optimize our body and actually prevent the disease or delay the disease.

Gil BlanderGUEST

Gil BlanderGUEST
And they kicked me out of the room and said, are you crazy? Nobody will buy it.
