In 2013, Sam Corcos, CEO and one of the co-founders of Levels, had a revelation when it came to media consumption. He realized that consuming information which was pushed upon him, specifically the news, wasn't beneficial to the way he used his time or the way he learned about the world.

As a result, Sam ended up changing the way that he not only consumed information, but also the way he navigated the world because of it. And, he never looked back. Doing so changed him as a person and, moving forward, he carried this mindset into everything he was involved in building – including Levels.

Levels helps you see how food affects your health, empowering you with the tools needed to achieve health goals and improve healthspan. Levels Members gain access to the Levels app and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), providing real-time feedback on how diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health.
