Launch HN: Nutrigene (YC W18) – Tailor-made liquid supplements using health data
I'm Van Duesterberg, and my cofounder is Min FitzGerald. We're the founders of Nutrigene ( http://www.mynutrigene.com ). We ship tailor-made liquid supplements based on your body composition and scientific research. I'm a biophysicist and epigeneticist who spent more than 10 years studying how environmental factors influence the expression of our genes, focusing on the mechanism of metabolites (including vitamins) in both plants and humans. Min has spent more than 10 years as a personal trainer, health coach and behavioral scientist working in the food and consumer product goods space. This all started because I wanted to be healthier and was frustrated with a lack of answers from our healthcare system, which only sees our data through a “survival” lens (oh you don’t need to be in urgent care or surgery now). I wanted to live beyond just surviving to truly thrive
