The company, cofounded by motivational speaker Tony Robbins and backed by professional tennis player Serena Williams, offers its members a personalized health platform based on a telehealth model.
Members undergo in-home diagnostic blood tests performed every three months by phlebotomists. Biomarkers associated with physical, psychological, cognitive and sexual performance are analyzed. Via a telehealth consultation with a clinician, members discuss the test results and receive recommendations for lifestyle adjustments and supplements.
Dr. Mark Hyman, the head of strategy and innovation of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford, weight management expert and associate professor at Harvard Medical School, also back Lifeforce.
The California-based company will use the funds to accelerate growth, advance data tools and expand its offerings.
“Lifeforce is poised to have a transformative impact, not just redefining the health optimization category but the very way we think about what’s possible as we age,” Courtney Reum, Lifeforce board chairman and cofounder at M13, said in a statement. “Demand for personalized, proactive healthcare is growing exponentially and the team’s collective expertise in health, technology and business uniquely positions Lifeforce to meet this demand.”
