What is Livio?
Livio's mission is to help you build sustainable healthy habits that
seamlessly
fit into your lifestyle.
Livio was created out of a passion for holistic health and a desire to create a
solution
that supports and rewards consistency and commitment - without the pressure of an
all-or-nothing approach.
We believe that building a healthy lifestyle should be achievable for everyone with
any life
schedule.
Why We Created Livio?
We believe that achieving a healthier lifestyle that supports your well-being in
the
long run should be about consistency, not perfection. Many health apps promote an
all-or-nothing
approach, which often leads to burnout and frustration.
And we all know it's not necessary to stick to every habit every single day. We wanted to
create
something different—an app that supports sustainable, balanced habits without the pressure
of doing
everything perfectly every day.
Co-Founder & CEO
Leo Gestetner
20 years ago, I was almost 250 pounds and about 35% body fat.
A good friend
then got
me into
running, having never done much exercise before!
Fast forward 20 years and
I'm under
160
pounds and 12% body fat and running the fastest I ever have, doing half marathons
and
triathalons.
I've realized I want to build a sustainable lifestyle and
longevity —
not
living longer but living healthy until the end. For me, this journey includes
physical,
spiritual, emotional, and intellectual health.
I have been a serial entrepreneur for over 30 years and am currently the Co-Founder
of Thankz, Zenvoy and Health Capital.

Jenna Gestetner
My whole life, I struggled with undiagnosed chronic health issues. I felt so out of
control
in my health journey.
I tried many diets and challenges (Keto, 75 Hard, etc)
I saw on
social media and only felt burnt out. It didn't fit my lifestyle to do 2 - 45 minute
workouts a day or eat no carbs
So, I decided to use the science behind why
those
methodologies work and use them to build habits that do fit my lifestyle. I started
implementing habits like walking a mile every morning, drinking enough water, and
eating
more protein. These habits may seem small, but they had a drastic impact on my
life.
Even when my health issues were at their lowest I felt the best about my life
because I felt
in control of my health. I feel confident every day knowing I am doing everything I
can for
myself and my health.
Co-Founder & CTO
Nick Brandt
Originally I was a chef with a deep passion for food, but life had other plans. Over
the past
20+ years, I transitioned into the tech world, managing SaaS projects, where my
focus has
been on leading remote teams and hiring offshore talent.
As Co-Founder and COO of Thankz, I help companies efficiently recruit and manage
remote
workers. My technical knowledge and love for food and cooking make working with
Livio the
perfect outlet for my interests.
When I'm not working, I indulge in my passions—travel, photography, art, going to
the gym,
and, of course, cooking. In the face of the challenges of middle age, like managing
my
weight, I practice low-carb diets most of the time and remain committed to staying
healthy
and active.
