Hi Everyone,
@bryan_johnson is in India. And longevity is the new buzzword.

Only one of these statements is true.

In 2020, I realised my body was older than I could’ve comprehended. And that's where my story begins.

In July 2020, I got COVID. A full body check-up that year revealed a few things –

High cholesterol
High triglycerides
Low B12 (126 pg/ml)
Low D3
And pre-diabetic.

I took the first steps – reduced my alcohol consumption and focused on nutritious meals.

Despite the LOW FODMAP diet, my stomach issues escalated.

Another round of tests (endoscopy and ultrasound) told me that I was a walking store of diseases.

A bacterial infection H. Pylori.
Ulcer.
Fatty liver.
GERD.
Villous atrophy.

The standard protocol for H Pylori infection is to take 14 days of antibiotics, four antibiotics every day. I did that. And I felt better for some time.

Until I lost 11 KGs in 1 month is not. While having 3 large meals and 2 snacks. No calorie deficit of any kind.

I did another round of tests to rule out Tuberculosis and the deadly C word.

The tests came out negative and my gut was in very good shape. The doctor said it was in my head.

Anti-depressants were an option (took them for 3 days) but I still felt miserable.

I needed answers.

This was when I came across systems biology (I was clear that it was the future of health care).

Did a metabolomics test and -

Mitochondrial dysfunction
Lactate of pyruvate ratio was 338 (it should be 10-20)
IBS diarrhoea.
Low platelet levels and a rate of decline of 10K X 10^3/ uL per month
The traditional sickcare model was failing me.

So I went back to studying. And got in touch with a functional medicine expert in India.

For the first time in 18 months, I was equipped with more data and a personalised protocol that looked VERY different from 4 nutritionists and 5 doctors I worked with.

Cut to 2023, my biomarkers were in the optimal range (and continue to be today).

I stopped taking most of my supplements.

My stomach was healed.
My absorption started to get better.
My B12 – 432 pg/ml.
The “personal” spilled into work. And this time, it wasn’t a sabbatical but the second stint of life.

I met my co-founders @gehani and @sanmaya , and we set out to find a deeper thesis on what it will take to build a world-class longevity startup out of India.

In the last few months, we’ve run pilots with real users by getting them to do blood tests on 150+ biomarkers and working closely with them to understand their issues. Majority of the users?

Diabetes.

Gut issues.
Auto-immune conditions.
Cardio-vascular issues.
It told us one thing – 30s are the new 50s.

Today, we’re designing a system for a long life. Only for the people who know they want to live a long life and are here to find out how.

Thanks to @bryan_johnson, the world is ready for this!

P.S. He is in India this week and speaking in Mumbai today with @deepigoyal.

Not a better day than this to launch FOXO and make Indians live longer and unlock Life++.

@chiragbarjatya Sir health is not priority for lot of people. But things are changing

[Subhendu Panigrahi @skipiit]

@notvedgpt @vaibhavbetter @FOXOclub Thanks buddy..you should become a member.

[Subhendu Panigrahi @skipiit]

Thanks @vaibhavbetter for the kind words and one of the apt description of what we are building at @FOXOclub

[Vaibhav Domkundwar @vaibhavbetter]

I just upgraded my annual blood test with FOXO Primer and got more than I imagined.

Because of an autoimmune issue, I’ve had to do more “understanding” of my blood tests than most people, who often look at ranges, underlines, and move on. My annual tests were already more than standard packages, and I had learned to understand inflammation trackers and other markers earlier than I would have liked :)

But I knew there was more to know.

The challenge was that going beyond standard or expanded tests was either too expensive, too fragmented, or missing the most important layer: someone looking at everything holistically and giving advice that worked across systems.

Over the last few years, this has changed globally. Access to extensive biomarker testing has become easier, cheaper, and increasingly paired with medical professionals who know how to correlate results.

FOXO brought this to India with FOXO Primer, a comprehensive 200+ biomarker assessment that combines clinical history, system-level analysis, and practical guidance to help you understand how your body is functioning and what you can do to improve it.

I was genuinely impressed by the overall experience.

We invested in FOXO at the founding stage because we had been clear on this opportunity for a while. But hearing founder Subhendu’s personal journey of “fixing his health”, the journey that led to FOXO, made the mission feel even more real. Nothing drives mission orientation like a personal story, and I could relate to his too.

I believe the future of preventive healthcare will be driven by companies like FOXO: helping us understand our health earlier, act sooner, and hopefully avoid many reactive doctor visits later.

Think of them as our future “pre-GPs.”

Worth exploring if you’ve been curious but sitting on the sidelines:

@pbXsrh @vaibhavbetter @FOXOclub Yes it is

[Vardhan Koshal 🐢🚀 @vardhankoshal]

One of the best 10K I spent in my life. @skipiit is on a mission fuelled by personal experience, and I am super bullish.

[Satyam Mishra 🇮🇳🇭🇰🇦🇪✈️ @satyam86400]

Over the years, I’ve realized how much our health story is hidden inside routine blood reports — and how little most of us actually understand beyond “normal” or “abnormal.”

I recently explored FOXO Primer by FOXO, and the experience felt very different from a standard health checkup.

What stood out to me wasn’t just the volume of biomarkers, but the way the entire assessment connected the dots across different systems of the body. Instead of isolated numbers, the focus was on understanding patterns, lifestyle impact, inflammation, recovery, and long-term health risks in a much more holistic way.

Most advanced testing options usually feel:

too fragmented,
too expensive,
or too difficult to interpret meaningfully.

This felt more structured and actionable.

I also found the larger vision behind FOXO interesting shifting healthcare from reactive treatment to earlier understanding and prevention. That direction makes a lot of sense for where healthcare is headed globally.

If you’re someone who likes understanding your health deeper than a basic annual test, this is definitely worth exploring:
