“With Love.Life, we think the new future of health is about highly personalized care that is focused on the mind, body and spirit. We want to transform the way people experience healthcare and provide an alternative to a fragmented system that is primarily focused on managing symptoms instead of improving health,” said John Mackey, CEO and co-creator, Love.Life. “Our goal is for people to look forward to seeing their doctor and to be active, informed participants in their personal health journey. Our members feel empowered because we’re providing the clarity, care team, and onsite resources they need to achieve health transformations and feel amazing.”
Love.Life’s annual medical membership, Optimize, is the new future of health. It reimagines the primary care experience and features five 1:1 physician meetings, individualized health coaching, access to experts in 20+ disciplines, a body composition assessment and bone mineral density test, repeated advanced bloodwork measuring 120+ biomarkers and access to Love.Life’s fitness and recovery services. Additional specialized testing tailored to support longevity, high performance and healing of chronic health conditions will be prescribed based on the individual’s goals and care program track. This can include VO2 max, continuous glucose monitoring, microbiome, musculoskeletal assessment and genetic testing.
A Fitness + Recovery membership is also available, which includes access to a state-of-the-art fitness facility, hot and cold recovery therapies, separate yoga and Pilates studios, a meditation area and three pickleball courts. For those seeking elite white-glove care, the Love.Life Concierge membership offers unlimited physician visits, full access to the company’s expansive range of 25+ precision tests, priority access to pickleball and the range of offerings available through fitness and recovery.
Members will also have access to Love.Life’s wellness offerings with evidence-based treatments to boost energy, improve sleep and calm the sympathetic nervous system. Offerings include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, IV treatments, cryotherapy, red light therapy and more.
“The beauty of Love.Life is we have taken the very best of medicine, nutrition, and wellness and created a truly holistic experience centered around the individual,” said Dr. Anna Emanuel, lead integrative physician, Love.Life. “And it’s all in one place. All of the doctors, wellness practitioners, and even fitness and nutrition teams work together to support the member in reaching their personal goals.”
Love.Life’s groundbreaking assessments are the most comprehensive in the market and the team dives deep with members to evaluate and optimize five core markers:
- Physical Health
- Cellular Health
- Gut + Nutrient Health
- Genetic Predisposition
- Social + Spiritual Health
Advanced lab panels measure more than 120+ biomarkers evaluating inflammation, micronutrients, and immune, metabolic, cardiovascular and hormone health to help establish a member’s true baseline health. Then, the Love.Life team provides a personalized and actionable treatment plan reviewed with the member’s multidisciplinary care team that arms individuals with the tools, resources and support necessary to thrive and reach personal goals. The plan is easy to access using the Love.Life app, which aggregates and tracks a member’s health data, including bloodwork, biomarkers and 20+ data points from wearables and physical assessments.
“Competitors offer components of the total Love.Life offering, but no one is offering the breadth of our services combined with the community support that’s designed for lasting change,” said Betsy Foster, co-creator and president, Love.Life. “Everyone’s health journey is different, and our goal is to meet people where they are on that journey. We’re here to be their trusted long-term partner in health.”
Love.Life was co-founded by former Whole Foods Market CEO and co-founder, John Mackey, Walter Robb, and Betsy Foster (also former execs of WFM), who believe in a new healthcare paradigm that empowers individuals to proactively improve their health by focusing on the root causes of chronic diseases and holistic solutions that optimize overall health and well-being.
