Your sugar first
One way by which food affects us is by affecting our blood sugar levels. upon joining, we will first record your blood sugar for one full week to find out your personal response to a variety of different foods.
Log your activities
To find out what affects your blood sugar during your sugar recording week, you will log your food intake, sleep patterns, exercises, and other weekly activities using our mobile App.
Your personal
food responses
food responses
Once your measurement week is over, you will receive personal predictions of your response to many foods, and see your response to foods that you ate and to other logged events such as sleep and exercise.
Your genetic makeup
We will also profile your DNA, and tell you how your personal genome sequence may affect your response to food.
There is even more!
Your personal microbes
We will also measure the composition of the 100 trillion microbes that reside in your gut. These microbes (your microbiome) affects your health, well-being, and your response to food.
Plan your diet
Using our automated diet planner, you will be able to construct personalized diet that meets key nutritional requirements for vitamins and minerals while matching your food preferences, personal food response, genetic makeup, and microbial composition.
