At CrowdHealth, we believe healthcare should reward prevention, not just react to problems. That’s why we launched our Longevity Program. It’s a way for members to save up to 20% off their monthly ask simply by taking charge of their long-term health. It incentivizes our members to focus on metabolic health, the primary driver of chronic disease later on in life.

How we care of ourselves in our 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s dictate how we’ll live in our 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s.”

Here’s How It Works:

Complete one or more key preventive tests: hs-CRP, visceral fat measurement via DEXA, or fasting insulin,  and take steps to improve your results. If you meet one of these targets you get 10% off your monthly crowdfunding ask. If you meet two of these targets you get 20% off your monthly crowdfunding ask. Let’s break down why these three markers matter and how you can keep them in check.

1. hs-CRP(High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) Target: <1 mg/L

Why it matters:‍

hs-CRP is a marker of inflammation in the body. Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and even cognitive decline. While inflammation is your body’s natural defense against injury or infection, when it stays elevated, it damages tissues over time.

How to improve it:

• Diet: Focus on anti-inflammatory foods like fatty fish (omega-3s), olive oil, nuts, and berries. Cut back on processed foods and refined sugars.
• Lifestyle: Get regular exercise, but avoid chronic overtraining which can raise CRP. Prioritize 7–9 hours of sleep.
• Other: Quit smoking and limit alcohol. Both drive inflammation.

2. Visceral Fat (Measured by DEXA Scan) Target: <5 µIU/mL

Why it matters:‍

Not all fat is created equal. Subcutaneous fat (under the skin) is less harmful, while visceral fat surrounds your organs. High visceral fat is a major risk factor for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and even certain cancers.

How to improve it

• Nutrition: Reduce excess calories and focus on whole foods. Low-carb or ketogenic diets can be particularly effective in trimming visceral fat.
• Exercise: Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are proven to reduce visceral fat.
• Sleep & Stress: Poor sleep and chronic stress increase cortisol, which drives visceral fat storage.

3. Fasting Insulin Target: Bottom quartile

Why it matters:‍

Fasting insulin is the canary in the coal mine for metabolic health. It shows how hard your body is working to keep blood sugar in check. Many people develop insulin resistance years before they’re diagnosed with prediabetes or diabetes. Elevated fasting insulin is a warning sign and gives you a chance to turn things around early.

How to improve it:

• Diet: Reduce refined carbs and sugars. A diet rich in protein, and fats keeps insulin stable.
• Exercise: Both strength training and aerobic activity improve insulin sensitivity. Even walking after meals helps.
• Lifestyle: Prioritize weight management and reduce stress both of which improve insulin regulation.
