3. Not only are alternative and holistic methods for maintaining health
and preventing disease accepted, they are being celebrated. The
rise of Ayuverda, turmeric, and acupuncture is just the beginning.
Eastern healing and proven herbal remedies are the next wave
because of their efficacy.
We are the most accessible, modern, and authentic brand
to be at the forefront of it.

4. Much Better is the first Eastern-based wellness brand
that promotes health maintenance and disease
prevention by demystifying and personalizing a
combination of modern and ancient natural healing
practices. We’re dedicated to helping you navigate
the complex world of wellness by providing dynamic
recommendations based on your life circumstances.
Founded and led by Asian Americans, Much Better is
on a mission to spearhead the conversation around
practical bio-hacking through the lens of Eastern
wellness practices.
Who We Are
@victoriahyoung_
5. Ancient Chinese physicians saw the mind and body
as “necessarily connected and inseparable.”
There was a time not so long ago when the term
“alternative medicine” conjured up visions in many
people’s minds of shamans, charlatans, and
crackpots. However, times are changing.
In the past few years, many doctors and
conventional healthcare institutions in the United
States have shown a new acceptance of
treatments and philosophies that historically
have not been part of mainstream
medicine.In fact, now the term “alternative
medicine” is out, and “integrative medicine” is in.
Herbal medications are growing at an
annual rate of 15% per year.

Problems We Aim To Solve
• People Are Sick And Stressed: As more chronic diseases that are lifestyle
driven develop, more interest in natural supplements to help moderate
symptoms and prevent chronic diseases is increasing.
• People Experience Herbal Supplement Benefits Firsthand: From CBD to the
rise of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there’s a larger cultural shift to believing
in the power of plants and natural remedies. Americans spend well over $12B a
year on natural supplements.
• People Want Personalization: With more and more customized testing
available (i.e. 23andme amongst many others), people are becoming more attuned
to the fact that different things work for different people. Therefore, there’s a
greater demand around personalized solutions and recommendations.
• Women Are Battling Hormonal Imbalances: As women realize that
hormones are the root of most of their health-related issues, greater attention and
share of spend is focused on natural ways to help balance their hormones.

Who We Serve
• Bio-Hack Interested: People who are either hardcore fans of or at least
vaguely aware of Tim Ferris, Goop, and Dave Asprey and curious about
how to incorporate a lot of the new findings in wellness into their own lives.
• Supplement Junkies: If you have 2 or more supplements or herbal
remedies in your home from Whole Foods or Thrive Market, we’re here to
help you figure out which ones you actually need, if there are interactions
between the ones you’ve got, and when it makes most sense to take what.
• Symptom Seekers / Health Nerds: If you’ve Googled a health
symptom or read a WebMD / Livestrong page to sufficiently freak yourself
out, we want to help you. Instead of vague and generalized statements on
old-school website, we’re creating interactive, personalized content to help
you better understand your specific body and health needs.
Our core audience is most likely urban, health-obsessed, and a little bit older.

Why People Will Hire Us For The Job
• We Are The Opposite of Information Overload: There’s lots
of information available, but much of it is conflicting, fragmented,
and hard to digest. We design our content to be simple and fun.
• We’re Also Cultural Translators: There’s little to no digestible
information about the benefits of Eastern wellness practices that’s
available in a modern way. We will change that.
• We’re The Only Ones With Herbal Personalization Based
On Eastern Medicine: Single herbs have limited efficacy. There’s
no solution for personalized herb blends. We make it easy to see if
you’re taking is the best herbal blend for you or your circumstances.
Our system is designed to provide recommendations based on your
lifestyle, body type, and circumstances, rooted in Eastern medicine.
Your herbal blend is delivered in convenient and eco-friendly
subscriptions that are seasonally and circumstantially relevant.
• We Help People Save Money: Our recommendation system not
only tells you which of our herbal formulas is uniquely suited for
your needs, we also tell you which ones you don’t need, helping
you save money on trial/error supplements that yield no results.
