4 years ago, crohns disease almost took my life.

4 months in the hospital.
7 stomach surgeries.
a $2m bill.

it was reactive care that treated symptoms vs. the root cause

but here’s the craziest part:

i'm now convinced that the same gut breakdown that nearly killed me is quietly happening to most modern humans.

sharing everything I've learned:

IT'S TIME – announcing our most important launch yet.

Superpower is now only $199.

Almost every American spends a few hundred $ per year on things like:

– Netflix
– Spotify
– Amazon Prime
– Dating or meditation apps
– Annual credit card fees

Today, that's true for the most important thing of all.

Your health.

[jacob peters @J__Cub]

BREAKING:

Superpower is now available for only $199

almost every American spends a few hundred $ per year on things like:

– Netflix
– Spotify
– Amazon Prime
– Dating or meditation apps
– Annual credit card fees

and never thinks twice.

but there has never been an accessibly priced,

canonical consumer membership for the most important thing of all:

YOUR HEALTH.

it’s our goal to build the most valuable, lowest price health membership in America.

and now it’s never been simpler to get started:

– full body health testing (100+ labs annually)

– one home for all of your health records, unified in one place

– a personal health LLM to chat with and make sense of it all

– plus a human medical team + marketplace for anything you need, like prescriptions, supplements, tests, or health answers – all at 20% cheaper than elsewhere

all for only $199.

it pays for itself. it’s taking control of your health.

“But Jacob — I have a bit more budget to spend on my health, this feels too cheap”

feedback we get often.

however it’s our belief the greatest consumer companies are built with low floors ⬇️ and high ceilings ⬆️;

accessible enough to welcome anyone in, yet expansive enough to grow with those who want to invest more deeply.

(eg. almost every American has an Amazon account, half of which pay ~$200/yr for prime, and 30% of which account for 70% of sales. our top superpower member has already spent over $30k on their health within the ecosystem)

this moment has been a long time coming

and couldn’t be more thrilled to unveil it to the world alongside such an incredible team.

ps – we’ve also just launched the mobile app, DM if you’d like the test flight!

Goodbye, shadcn. Hello, Micro UI.

Our summer release is our biggest UI overhaul to date. We've replaced our entire front-end component library with a custom, in-house solution.

It's part of growing up as a startup. Here's why we made the switch 🧵

[brett goldstein @thatguybg]

excited to announce the micro relationship engine

it pulls in all your connections and lets you message them on any platform & automatically updates their profiles and CRM records

but don't call it a personal CRM:

[jacob peters @J__Cub]

today marks an exciting milestone for @superpower

12 months ago we publicly announced the company and a waiting list.

over 100,000 people signed up, and we’ve been onboarding them as fast as we can

and now we’re opening up capacity and removing the waitlist.

so that everyone can join

to get access to 100s of lab tests annually that are otherwise really challenging, expensive and cumbersome to obtain on your own.

it’s data that makes a difference.

a comprehensive view of your health – across nutrients, hormones, toxins, and gut health – and a plan for how to improve it.

with simple suggestions on how you can meaningfully change the trajectory of your long term health.

this knowledge has personally transformed my life and I've now made it my mission to deliver this information to a broader audience

and for those who have been following along, I wanted to share a personal friends/family code to make it more accessible and save $100 (link below)

--

can’t wait to show you all what we’ve built – many of us have no idea how good we can feel, until we peek under the hood and make a few simple changes 💫

and I'm so proud to be working with such an incredible team that shows up every single day for this mission @maxmarchione @KevinUnkrich @amadareyes_ @hannah_ahn @manoj_arachige @albetremblay @audricciel

what if your tools knew things?

here's a look at micro's global/personal knowledge graph (powered perplexity and more):

[brett goldstein @thatguybg]

excited to announce Micro

the first product since gmail launched 21 years ago today that transforms email into what it should be

an all-in-one tool that organizes itself

[Micro™ @microHQ]

coming very very soon

[brett goldstein @thatguybg]

inbox 0 is an unattainable goal for 99% of people

so we started a company reimagining email from the ground up

transforming it into an all-in-one platform that keeps you organized, so you don't have to be

it's called @microHQ 👇

[jacob peters @J__Cub]

nothing else matters if you don't have your health.

that’s why we started @superpower.com

and today we’re announcing the launch of our beta membership.

we’ve made it easy to test your whole body (100s of labs, microbiome, toxins, & more)

view all of your healthcare data in one place for the very first time

and access a full time concierge clinician team, starting at only $499.

(it's all the things you wish mainstream medicine did but is not able to do)

our waitlist has exploded to 100k+, and we’re building as fast as we can to meet demand.

onboarding new members starting today – DM me if you'd like early access or join the line on our website.

welcome to a new era of personal health 🧡

We all have some sort of gift.

A talent. A skill. A superpower. That the world needs to see.

Yet the world is not giving us the resources to be exponential.

A new health hero is needed.
