How Konrad Sudyka Became One of the Youngest Telehealth Founders in the U.S.
At just 23, Konrad Sudyka isn’t your average health tech founder. He didn’t come from a long medical lineage, nor did he stumble into healthcare by chance. His journey to launching Elevated—a fast-growing telehealth startup focused on performance, weight loss, and cutting-edge therapeutics—began in the gym, on the soccer field, and deep inside biohacking rabbit holes.
From an early age, Konrad Sudyka was obsessed with performance—not just athletic performance, but the why behind it. What made one player recover faster than another? Why did some workouts deliver results while others led to burnout? These weren’t surface-level questions for him. They became his personal mission.
“I was the guy reading research papers and testing weird protocols before they were cool,” Konrad laughs. “Red light therapy, fasting windows, NAD+, magnesium cocktails, mitochondrial upregulation… most people thought I was crazy.”
But to him, it made perfect sense. Soccer gave him the discipline, the gym gave him structure—but biohacking gave him leverage. It was the art and science of making every rep, every hour of sleep, every meal count for more.
As he experimented on himself, friends and family took notice. People started asking him for advice. How to lose weight without crashing. How to increase energy without relying on caffeine. How to feel optimized, not just “okay.”
“I realized I wasn’t the only one frustrated by the cookie-cutter health advice out there,” he says. “Most people are trying their best, but they’re stuck with outdated systems and one-size-fits-all care.”
That realization was the catalyst for Elevated.
From Experimentation to Execution
Elevated wasn’t born from a whiteboard. It was built from lived experience—years of testing, tracking, and tweaking. Konrad didn’t want to create another sterile telehealth platform. He wanted something modern. Clean. Data-driven. Trustworthy. A place where people could access high-impact treatments like GLP-1 medications, NAD+ injections, and nootropics—paired with concierge-level service and branding that actually felt human.
“I wanted Elevated to feel like what Apple would build if they launched a health clinic,” he explains. “Smart, seamless, design-forward—but rooted in clinical rigor.”
Everything about the brand reflects that ethos. The onboarding is fast and intuitive. The aesthetics are clean and premium. The treatments offered are things Konrad personally tested long before they hit the mainstream.
GLP-1s like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide? He studied the research, tried them himself, and immediately saw their potential to change lives—if administered properly. NAD+ injections? He used them to improve focus, recovery, and resilience during peak workload weeks. Methylene Blue? Another powerful tool for cognition and mitochondrial support that most clinics weren’t even talking about.
Building in Public, Thinking Like a Consumer
What makes Elevated stand out isn’t just its products—it’s the founder’s mindset. As one of the youngest players in the telehealth space, Konrad thinks like a customer. He knows what Gen Z and millennial consumers want: convenience, clarity, trust, and results.
That’s why Elevated ditches the fluff. No bait-and-switch offers. No confusing medical speak. Everything is designed for real people who want real change—fast.
And it’s working. Elevated is growing through word-of-mouth, paid ads, and increasingly, influencer partnerships. Patients love the brand’s transparency, its frictionless onboarding, and the fact that it doesn’t feel like “going to the doctor.”
“I think a lot of healthcare brands forget that people don’t want to feel like patients,” Konrad says. “They want to feel empowered. That’s the gap we’re filling.”
Young, Scrappy, and Relentless
Of course, building a healthcare startup in your early 20s isn’t easy. Most of Konrad’s competitors are decades older. Many have clinical backgrounds or VC backing. But he’s betting on something they can’t replicate: speed, clarity of vision, and the fact that he is the target customer.
“I’m not weighed down by industry baggage,” he says. “I move fast, test constantly, and optimize like my life depends on it—because it kind of does.”
While most founders would’ve waited for perfect credentials or corporate backing, Konrad bootstrapped Elevated from day one. He focused on cash flow, product-market fit, and brand trust—leaning on his natural ability to spot what people actually want and remove friction to deliver it.
His approach is equal parts athlete and operator: test, adapt, scale. Every new feature, product, or protocol goes through him. Every customer experience is scrutinized for ways to improve retention, results, and reputation.
What’s Next
For Konrad, Elevated is just getting started. His long-term vision isn’t just about weight loss or longevity—it’s about redefining how people interact with health altogether.
“I want Elevated to be the go-to brand for high-performance healthcare,” he says. “If you care about optimizing your energy, focus, metabolism, sleep—we should be the first name you think of.”
He’s already working on expanding the product line, refining customer journeys, and scaling into new verticals like men’s health and cognition. But even with the momentum, he’s not slowing down.
“I’m still biohacking every day. Still experimenting. Still trying to unlock that next level—not just for me, but for everyone we serve.”
Konrad Sudyka might be one of the youngest founders in the space, but he’s proving that age isn’t a barrier when you combine vision, velocity, and a relentless obsession with results.
