While at Google, he noticed that his energy levels were lower than he thought they should be, but he wasn’t sure if it was a byproduct of diet, sleep, stress or exercise. Eventually, he started researching metabolic health and, around the same time, Sam Corcos reached out to him to find out what he was up to. Shortly after their first interaction, David left Google and became a co-founder of Levels.
