About Different
A different approach.
We built Different Health to keep you performing at your best, long before the decline or diagnosis.
Not by waiting for something to break, but by measuring how well your body works today: your biomarkers, your strength, your capacity — then giving you the coaching and plan to act on it, so you're building the body you'll need tomorrow.
But that's not the job the system was built for. Modern medicine is extraordinary at rescue — it can pull you back from the edge, treat the disease, and manage the damage. It was never designed to ask: “How well can I feel?”
So most of us are left on our own to chase more energy, sharper focus, and a body that does what we ask of it at 40, at 60, and even at 90.
No one is helping you get there.
And that's why Different Health exists.
How we work
We practice a different kind of medicine.
We measure what matters.
We don't guess, and we don't follow a protocol just because it's standard or trending online. We analyze what's actually happening inside: your biomarkers, your cardiovascular fitness, and the dozens of markers most care overlooks. Then we let the data tell the truth.
We're committed to what works.
Medicine evolves, and so do we. We relentlessly question our own methods, reject outdated defaults, and bring you strategies built on the latest scientific evidence.
We meet you where you are.
Optimization can sound like a world reserved for elite athletes and biohackers. It isn't. Whether you're chasing a personal best or just trying to feel like your old self again, the work begins wherever you are today.
We coach, we don't just prescribe.
Real change happens between visits. Our clinicians and coaches stay close, translating your data into a plan you can actually follow, and giving you the tools to own your health for life.
We stay as long as you need us.
Not a one-time panel. Not a dashboard you're left alone to decode. A continuous relationship that tracks how your body changes and keeps you moving toward your goals.
A note from our founder
Dylan Gambardella
Founder & CEO
A few years ago, I learned that I carry a copy of a gene called APOE4 – a genetic signal for Alzheimer's disease.
I watched my grandmother battle dementia in the final years of her life. I watched what it took from her, and what it took from everyone who loved her. So when I took that genetic test, it didn't feel abstract. It felt like a glimpse of one possible future – and a choice. That could be my destiny. Or I could do everything in my control to stack the deck in my favor.
20 years ago, I'd understand not wanting to know. But today, I knew I could do something about it.
The evidence is real and growing: how you train, eat, and sleep, tracked over time with the right diagnostics, changes how that risk plays out. But when I looked at how the system would handle it, the answer was essentially “wait.” Wait until there are symptoms or decline. Wait until it's, in every meaningful way, too late.
I didn't want to wait. I didn't want my family to wait. And no one else should have to.
I'm not a physician. I'm someone who got obsessed – with the diagnostics and data, and with meeting experts who embody the simple yet radical idea that we can get ahead of our own health.
We built Different Health around world-class physicians and coaches who give you the attention our system stopped offering, the diagnostics that let you see what's coming, and a relationship that treats your health as something to invest in now – not a problem to solve later.
This is the care my Co-Founder, Fran Pradas, and I want for the people we love. It’s the care we believe everyone deserves. And it starts long before anything goes wrong.
