Phoenix 2.1 update: The app changing when APOE4 carriers ask it to

Hi Phoenix friend,

Most health apps ship once and ghost you.

You buy in, you get a burst of features, and then nothing. The roadmap dies. The feedback form goes to a black hole. A year later you’re using the exact same app, wondering why nothing you asked for ever happened.

But I consider myself member #1 of Phoenix, so of course I would keep building features for all of the APOE4 community, including those of you who are not Phoenix members (yet? 🙂 )
Let me show you the last 30 days as proof.

Last month I shipped Phoenix 2.0. This was our biggest update ever.

And we continued building, including 2 new tools accessible for non-Phoenix members, because my goal is to serve as many APOE4 carriers as possible, and I know not everyone has the means to join Phoenix.

A new Clinical trial module, open for everyone (even non Phoenix member)!

• Curation of every APOE4 trial, translated in plain English

• Automatic matching to the clinical trials you are eligible to

• A warm intro for the ones with the most Phoenix members interest

Access the clinical trial module here.
Available for all APOE4 carriers, whether you are a Phoenix member or not!

In a few days, I'll send you the full deep dive: exactly how our Clinical Trials engine works, how to set up your Match Me profile so new trials auto-check against you every morning. Watch your inbox.

A complimentary memory test from the University of Cambridge in partnership with PREMAZ and Phoenix. Open for everyone (even non Phoenix member)!

This month I brought members free memory tests from PREMAZ, built on more than a decade of University of Cambridge research and normally a paid test. It measures the quality of your memory precisely enough to catch subtle changes standard tests miss, the earliest kind of signal an APOE4 carrier would ever want to watch.
That access only exists because APOE4 carriers pool together.

I improved many of our Phoenix App features, based on members feedback

Then members started telling me what to fix and what they would like to see.
So I fixed it, and built the requested features, fast.

Here’s what changed, and why, because the why is the part that matters to you.

Members said the daily check-in was confusing. It opened at 3pm and asked about a day that wasn’t over. So I tore it down and rebuilt it around one honest rule: you’re always closing out the day that just ended. About 90 seconds now, and it never asks you to guess. I changed it because you shouldn’t have to fight your own tracker.

Members outside the US were getting mis-flagged. Their lab results come in different units, and the app was reading them wrong. So I fixed it: your bloodwork now scores against the right APOE4 targets whether you’re in Boston or Brisbane.

Members wanted to test more than one thing at a time. So I raised the cap: run up to 10 experiments at once.

And a dozen more: body tracking, a faster app, a calmer design, clearer navigation, tighter control over your data. All in one month.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s the whole point of Phoenix. You don’t buy a finished app. You join a living one, and it bends toward what carriers actually need.

And it’s not only what we build. Being part of a group this size unlocks things you could never get on your own.

Here’s why that matters more for you than for anyone else. You carry APOE4. The science is moving fast, your body is changing now, and the tool you rely on can’t be frozen in time. Ours keeps up, because it’s built by someone who carries what you carry.

I carry APOE 4/4. I built Phoenix because I needed it, and I use it on myself (I dropped my own ApoB 39% in 7 months, published openly). When a carrier tells me something’s broken, it’s personal. I ship the fix in days, not quarters.

You’d be doing this alongside 676+ carriers, 32% of them doctors, nurses, and researchers who carry APOE4 themselves. And 89% of members report improvement in their APOE4-critical biomarkers within months.

And this month, we got the first real proof it works. We ran a four-month study in 25 APOE4 carriers, living real lives, tracked entirely inside Phoenix. Memory improved in 20 of the 25. It was small, so we call it a signal, not proof, and we’re honest about that. But it’s the kind of signal that only exists because carriers measured, together, in one place.

That’s what you’re buying into. Not an app. A machine that turns your data into answers, and gets sharper every month, because people like you keep telling us where to point it.

One more thing, and it’s big enough that I’ll give it its own post soon: we’re building a directory of doctors who actually understand APOE4, so “find an APOE4 doctor near me” finally has a real answer. Keep an eye out for it in future emails.

Come see what it would show you about your own numbers. Every membership comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Track your first month, watch your data connect, and if it doesn’t earn its place, ask for a refund, no questions.
