We're a software company on a mission to empower millions worldwide to break free from chronic disease through science-backed lifestyle interventions.
The world is currently facing an unprecedented wave of chronic disease. For example, nearly half of all U.S. adults today are living with diabetes or prediabetes, while only a small minority are not overweight or obese.
The economic impact is equally staggering, with the total economic burden of diabetes exceeding $400 billion annually in the U.S. alone. Yet, this is just the tip of a global iceberg.
We created Ancestralize Research and Development to address this systemic crisis.
Most chronic diseases stem from a mismatch between our inherited biology, shaped by evolution, and our modern industrialized lifestyle.
For nearly two million years, humans thrived on a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Our ancestors adapted to environments characterized by whole foods with low carbohydrate content, physical activity, and natural light. In contrast, today's sedentary, high-stress lifestyles, combined with the consumption of ultra-processed carbohydrates and toxic additives, create health imbalances.
That's why we believe that aligning lifestyle and nutrition with an individual's biology yields far deeper, longer-lasting results than symptom-masking medications or surgery. However, this requires radical personalization — different foods and lifestyles are ideal for different people. Everyone's genome, epigenome, and microbiome are utterly unique, meaning we must look to individualized, long-term strategies to truly treat and prevent disease.
We combine ancestral health principles with vetted modern scientific research from pathology, physiology, biochemistry, evolutionary biology, and nutritional and lifestyle sciences. Our researchers synthesize tens of thousands of studies to build a unique interdisciplinary scientific knowledge base.
To translate this research into practical guidance, we develop a proprietary health intelligence, a special Bayesian Network-driven AI — a structured foundational model that links hundreds of health factors and estimates probabilities to extract actionable insights.
To make our complex health research universally available and affordable, and translate it into everyday habits of individuals with chronic disease, we are building a digital health platform.
