Our Stories The Concept Stay Updated

The why behind Truwell.

One membership. One roof. The things you need to stay well.

The place
we couldn't find

Thirty plus years of experience in healthcare, diverse perspectives and personal experiences led us to the same place.

The current healthcare system is not designed to keep people healthy. It is designed to step in when they are already sick. The world of wellness and longevity that has grown up around it; the gyms and spas and clubs and apps; is fragmented, unstructured and uncoordinated. There is nothing that ties all aspects of true wellness together.

So we decided to build something that does.

I have spent more than ten years working alongside primary care offices, cardiologists, pain clinics, and surgical centers. I watched patients move between those rooms with no real coordination. Diagnoses got treated. The lives that created those diagnoses never did. Nobody was asking what someone ate, how many steps they were getting, or how they were actually living.

I had the same problem in my own life. Pilates was one place. The sauna and cold plunge were somewhere else. A doctor's appointment took half a day. Friends of mine were juggling five or six separate memberships — some paying more for a single one than Truwell costs for everything combined. We weren't short on options. We were short on a place that brought it all together.

The diseases that define health outcomes in someone's fifties and sixties begin progressing in their thirties. We wait for a reason to act, and by the time the reason arrives, decades of opportunity are gone. Peptides, nutritionists, physical therapy, longevity care — these are how you stay well in the first place.

Truwell is the place I was looking for and couldn't find. One membership, one roof, everything you need to stay well — and the people worth being well with.

I have spent twenty years in the healthcare industry, on both provider and payer sides. I co-founded a primary care startup, served as CEO of a large multi-specialty medical group and as a Senior VP at Optum. I came out of all of it with the same conclusion.

What we call a healthcare system is really a sick-care system. It is not designed to keep people healthy. It is designed to provide interventions, often unnecessary, expensive and ineffective, when people do lose their health, or some part of it. The whole apparatus is set up to react to illness, not to keep people from getting there.

At a personal level, I've been a lifelong athlete and done my best to live a healthy lifestyle, but it takes more to stay on top of it all. The aches that linger, prolonged recovery times, abnormal labs, managing prescriptions, maintaining strength and conditioning. Between raising a family, caring for aging parents and running a career, the small things have started taking up real time, effort and resources.

I go to my annual physical and walk out with almost nothing I can act on. My physical therapist and my primary care doctor have never spoken. I go to the gym but find it isolating. A regular massage is a luxury, not a regimen. I have spent years wishing there were a place that brought all of it together under one roof. Truwell is that wish realized.

What we're
building.

Between the two of us, we have spent thirty years on this question from two different sides of it. What we are building is one answer.

  • Medical Care A clinical team that sees the whole picture of you.
  • Longevity A protocol that adapts as your life does.
  • Movement Training and practices that keep you capable for the long run.
  • Mental Wellness Support for clarity, resilience, and the life you're building.
  • Recovery Tools and therapies that help you perform, recover, and reset.
  • Community A community designed with the same care as the protocol.
  • TruGuide One guide who holds it all together so you don't have to.

We built it because we wanted it ourselves,
and because the people we know want it too.
