The Hupe Story

Meet our Founder, Sami.

A Better Way to Health

For decades, I was stuck in the same exhausting cycle—strict diets, intense workouts, and short-term transformations that never led to lasting results. I followed all the conventional “health” advice, believing that egg white omelettes on wholemeal toast were the perfect start to the day. But despite my best efforts, I felt worse, not better. It turned out I was intolerant to both egg whites and yeast—triggering chronic inflammation, bloating, and discomfort. I was doing everything “right,” yet my body was telling me otherwise. Something was missing.

I was also a relentless career professional, constantly chasing the next big role, the next achievement—putting work above everything, including my health. I spent years in high-pressure executive positions across multiple industries, leading teams of thousands, flying across time zones, and pushing myself to the limit. Until my body finally pushed back. At 32, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The wake-up call couldn’t have been louder.

Turning Frustration into Innovation

Like so many others, I had been navigating a fragmented health system—one that focused on treating symptoms rather than understanding root causes. Answers were scattered, and genuine, personalised guidance was nearly impossible to find. I realised that health isn’t about quick fixes or generic advice. It’s about understanding your unique biology, physiology, and genetics and making science-backed, strategic decisions that actually work.

I knew there had to be a better way. I wanted elite-level insights—the kind once reserved for top athletes and executives—but without the barriers. I wanted cutting-edge diagnostics, world-class medical expertise, and data-driven strategies, all seamlessly integrated into daily life. But this kind of system didn’t exist. So, I built it.
