Welcome to Shaper Health
Hello and welcome to Shaper Health! We’re a group of three friends - one MD, one MIT PhD with a background in healthcare, and one startup cofounder - who are passionate about health and wellness.
Our idea came about as we were discussing the widespread adoption of more deliberate and healthier living and how to improve our own health, longevity and quality-of-life. On one hand, traditional medical education focuses on normal physiology, pathophysiology, and the treatment of various pathologies that arise. However, almost no attention is given to how we can improve our normal physiology before serious consequences arise, beyond vague ideas like “eat better, exercise more”. As a result, most primary care physicians are uninformed on these topics. On the other hand, the amount of new and informative research being done to actually answer these questions is overwhelming. Searching pubmed for recent studies related to broad trends in men’s health, such as metabolic function, intermittent fasting, cold plunges, gut microbiome, and improving testosterone, we found over 2,000 new papers being published a week.
Combining our analytical and medical backgrounds, Shaper Health aims to deliver you data driven summaries of the most relevant and applicable research into your everyday health and wellness. We have created methods to sift through these mountains of new research, find the most compelling observational studies and randomized experiments on human cohorts, and then curate those based on our own expertise.
