We just raised £4.6m 🚀

Our founder @andrewsteele won Olympic bronze in 2008. As an athlete, he had a full team of specialists keeping him at his best. When he retired, that all disappeared - and his health went backwards.

So he built Stride to give everyone that level of care.

StrideOne tests your DNA, gut microbiome and bloods, then a dietitian turns your results into a plan you can actually stick to. Plus supplements we make ourselves, matched to you.
16,000+ members so far. 85% have stayed with us.

This funding means more members, more science, a new biological age test, and a bigger team.

Huge thanks to @arayaventures, Better Ventures, Morgan Stanley Inclusive and Sustainable Ventures, Innovate UK, our angels - and everyone who’s joined us so far 🧡

Everything until now was the warm-up. Let’s go 🏃

Three days, two massive billboards, 78 Iced Americano’s.

When I retired from athletics, I tried to get into various big bank graduate schemes to no avail (unsurprisingly - I didn’t go to university).

Anyway, 15 years later I can’t assess an LBO, but I do have my face all over Times Square and Canary Wharf. by @andrewsteele

Beyond The Glucose Spike
ㅤ
Are we paying too much attention to glucose spikes? Andrew Steele argues that while continuous glucose monitors can encourage healthier habits, normal rises in blood sugar after eating shouldn't automatically be seen as a problem.

Redefining Optimal Health
ㅤ
What does optimal health really mean? Andrew Steele challenges the idea that health optimization is about perfection, arguing instead that the best approach is one that adapts to your life, your circumstances, and what you can realistically sustain over time.

Prevention Starts Before Disease
ㅤ
Preventive health isn't just about catching disease earlier, Andrew Steele argues. It's about making healthier choices part of everyday life, where lasting behavior change becomes just as important as the science behind it.

Rethinking Biological Age Measurement
ㅤ
Andrew Steele, Founder & CEO of Stride, shares why biological age could become one of the most meaningful metrics in preventive health, but only if it's measured accurately. Rather than relying on a single test, he explains how combining multiple biological signals could create a more reliable picture of how we're really aging.

We’re back with gut health explained Part 3 of the 5Ps: Probiotics

Probably the most well known P (yes, this is @andrewsteele minimum recommended serving size).

Probiotics are live bacteria that add directly to the good microbes in your gut. Think of them as reinforcements.

Where to get them: yogurt with live cultures, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso, and other fermented foods

The key thing most people miss: probiotics work best when you’re already feeding your existing gut bacteria well - which is where prebiotics and polyphenols (Parts 1 & 2) come in.

Stay tuned for the full 5Ps of gut health. Next up: Parabiotics 👀 by @andrewsteele

Methylation is having a moment.

But focusing on a single gene like MTHFR can miss what really matters.

Low vitamin D.
Cardiovascular risk markers.
Gut microbiome health.

Your biology is a system, not a single pathway.
Stride helps you understand all three layers - DNA, blood and gut health.

OMG, I just met Andrew Steele!

Andrew and I have weirdly parallel lives…

2008: Andrew Steele is in the middle of his physics PhD, while Andrew Steele is winning bronze at the Beijing Olympics.
2013: Andrew moves from physics to genomics, while Andrew starts a DNA-testing-for-sports company.
2020: Andrew publishes a book on longevity. Andrew is pivoting towards performance and longevity based health tracking.
2025: Andrew Steeles finally unite for coffee in Berlin!

LOL. Here’s to more (Andrew Steele)² content in future. :)
