For most of our history, we humans have been victims of nature — disease, famine, the elements. Today, we're also victims of our own ingenuity.
"Forever chemicals" (PFAS) circulate in the blood of 98% of Americans. Microplastics turn up in human lungs, arteries, even placentas. Pesticides banned fifty years ago still linger in most of us. This chemical load has been linked to cancer, infertility, developmental harm, and more. And until very recently, the honest medical answer to "How do I get rid of my body's chronic pollution?" has been simple: "You can't."
We built Tare Health to change that. Tare is the first company dedicated to physician-directed clearance of pollutants from the human body. We've started with PFAS because that's where the data are strongest and the need greatest. We're from Massachusetts and North Carolina, two of the states hit hardest by PFAS. Tare exists because we think everyone should be able to access what we'd want for our own families.
Here's what that looks like. A simple at-home test measures your PFAS. A physician reviews your test and, if it's right for you, recommends a well-studied medicine to clear it. A few months later you test again and see exactly how far your levels dropped. Unlike some "detox-and-hope" companies, we believe in doing things the right way. That means physician-directed care, real medicines, and measurable results.
Medicine already has tools for old enemies like microbes, tumors, and clots. At Tare, we're building tools to fight the new enemies like PFAS that didn't exist when your grandparents were born. We'll help you find out what's in your blood — and then we'll help you do something about it. Join us!
