+ 46% higher hemorrhoid prevalence + 26% higher risk of developing hemorrhoids + pathogenic, antibiotic resistent strains From what? Smartphone while on the toilet. It makes you lose track of time.

It is impossible to overstate how unbelievably stacked Throne’s team is. My co-founder and chief product officer, John, was previously co-founder of WHOOP, where he served as CTO for a decade and pioneered continuous health monitoring, making metrics like HRV ubiquitous. Today, we got to announce our Chief of Science, Dr. Karan. He is the most followed GI doctor on the internet, and with good reason -- he’s an absolutely singular health educator. The rest of the team may be less well-known, but equally gifted, and the product reflects it. I’ve been using the prototype of Throne One for ~6 weeks, and it’s the most special health product of 2026. …and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. With the progress we’re making in the lab, I have total conviction that Throne will be measuring impact in terms of ‘lives saved per employee’ by 2030.
