At just 23 years old, Konrad Sudyka is part of a new generation of entrepreneurs blending self-discipline, aesthetics, and mission-driven innovation. He’s the founder of Elevated Health, a fast-growing telehealth brand offering compounded GLP-1 weight loss treatments like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide—but don’t call him a healthcare guy.
“I didn’t come into this with a medical degree,” he says. “What I had was an obsession with performance, optimization, and systems. I wanted to build a brand that made people feel better—not just thinner or healthier—but actually better.”
From Idea to Action: Building Elevated
The spark for Elevated came during what Konrad describes as a “deep dive rabbit hole” into *metabolic health, **GLP-1 medications*, and the psychology of weight loss. But rather than stop at curiosity, he got to work.
He began studying the telehealth space—what worked, what didn’t—and realized that most weight loss clinics were missing the mark. The customer experience felt dated, the branding was stale, and the emotional side of the journey was often ignored.
“People don’t want to feel like patients. They want to feel like clients of a premium wellness service that understands them.”
So he created it. Elevated is built for people who want *clinical-grade results with lifestyle-level ease*—no unnecessary friction, no shame-based marketing, and no phone tag with doctors. Everything happens online, from intake to fulfillment, with optional consults and a transparent pricing model.
The Elevated Difference
Where other companies obsess over conversions, Konrad obsesses over customer experience.
“The whole brand is engineered to feel trustworthy, premium, and empowering. From our fonts to our follow-up texts—every detail matters.”
The Elevated platform offers compounded GLP-1s in injectable and oral forms, plus *flexible 3, 6, and 12-month prepay plans* that can be financed via *Klarna or Affirm*. And the packaging? Clean. Minimal. Designed like a skincare brand, not a pharmacy.
But there’s more coming. Elevated is expanding into *men’s health, energy and mood supplements, and eventually **in-person med spa experiences* that bring the digital brand into real life.
Fitness, Focus, and Personal Discipline
Behind the sleek branding and smart funnels is a founder who lives and breathes optimization.
Konrad’s personal life is a reflection of the Elevated ethos: clean eating, gym time, daily walks, and systems that reduce noise and decision fatigue. His office is minimalist. His schedule is intentional. And his commitment to clarity over chaos is what gives him his edge.
“People think discipline is about willpower. It’s not. It’s about design. If you design your environment for high performance, everything else falls into place.”
He’s also candid about the internal work. As a naturally reserved person, he’s opened up more emotionally in recent years—something he says has made him a better leader, partner, and builder.
“Entrepreneurship isn’t just about building companies. It’s about building yourself.”
A Different Kind of Startup Founder
Konrad doesn’t see himself as a hype guy or a traditional “tech bro.” His goal was never to raise money just for the headline—it was about timing, leverage, and momentum. When the opportunity made sense, he raised a *$500K seed round* to accelerate what was already working.
“We were already profitable, but we didn’t want to grow slow just for the sake of staying bootstrapped,” he says. “The money’s there to move faster, not to get sloppy.”
Even post-raise, Elevated remains lean by design. Every dollar goes toward things that compound—paid growth, product expansion, infrastructure, and improving the customer journey. The team is small. The decisions are fast. And the focus is crystal clear: build a brand people trust enough to stick with for years*.
Looking Ahead: The Vision for Elevated
Over the next 12 months, Konrad plans to scale Elevated into a *multi-category wellness brand—starting with male-specific offerings through a sister site, **Elevated Men’s Health. He’s also launching new products in the **energy, mood, and focus* verticals, including *NAD+ injections, **nasal sprays, and **Methylene Blue*.
“Weight loss got us in the door. But our long-term vision is to build the *go-to ecosystem for metabolic health, performance, and aesthetic medicine*.”
He also wants to document the journey more publicly, especially to help other young founders building in regulated industries like telehealth.
“This path is hard. I want to show people the real stuff—legal issues, compliance headaches, failed ad campaigns—not just the wins.”
Final Thoughts: On Purpose, Pressure, and Playing the Long Game
For Konrad, success isn’t defined by a valuation or a fancy exit. It’s about alignment.
“My ultimate goal is to build something that’s good enough to live in. Meaning: if I wasn’t the founder, I’d still want to be a customer.”
It’s a refreshingly grounded take in a world obsessed with fast funding rounds and dopamine-driven launches. And it explains why so many Elevated patients—especially those who’ve tried Ro, Hims, or local clinics—end up sticking around.
Because at the end of the day, people can feel when something was built with care.
