## What is The Personalized Nutrition Project?

Discover the right foods for you, by measuring your genetics, microbes, and personal glucose response to food

THE GOAL
The Personal Nutrition Project, led by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science, is a novel science-based approach to nutrition. Our goal is to administer personalized dietary interventions that maintain healthy blood sugar levels across human individuals, thus providing direct treatment for pre-diabetics, obesity, and other worldwide epidemics.

THE PROBLEM
High blood sugar levels are a risk factor for many complications, such as type II diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, and also cause more weight gain. We therefore need to control our blood sugar levels. But since different people have different responses to food, we have to find out what our personal responses are and plan what we eat accordingly.

THE SOLUTION
We are collecting the health status, genetics, microbes, physical activity, and blood glucose response to food of our study participants. We then use this unique data to develop computer algorithms that predict the personal blood glucose response of each person to any meal.

HOW IT WORKS

1. YOUR SUGAR FIRST: We first record your blood sugar for one full week to find out your personal response to a variety of different foods.

2. 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 this App

3. YOUR PERSONAL FOOD RESPONSES: 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.

4. YOUR GENETIC MAKEUP: We will profile your DNA, and tell you how your personal genome sequence may affect your response to food

5. YOUR PERSONAL MICROBES: We will also measure the composition of the 100 trillion microbes that reside in your gut. These microbes affects your health, well-being, and your response to food.

6. PLAN YOUR DIET: Using our automated diet planner, you will be able to construct a personal diet that meets key nutritional requirements for vitamins and minerals while matching your food preferences, personal food response, genetic makeup, and microbial composition.

### 1/5 — Puzzling

*2018-09-09*

Why two apps almost exactly the same???

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2018-06-16, version 1.1.21*

This is a horrible app for anyone serious about true nutrition. Can’t find the most basic foods such as an ‘apple’ without scrolling through a list of packaged junk food. It seems that the go to food is either fast food or packaged frozen food. You have to substitute as close as possible. Creating a meal is useless as well. It doesn’t allow you to input any nutritional information. Another problem- you can’t add multiple items for one meal or repeat previous meals. Unless you’re forced to use this app find another (hint: fitness pal).

### 4/5 — Please add English option

*2015-12-02*

Great app, just needs English language option.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on my phone :(

*2015-10-03, version 1.0.7*

Cannot login ... Keeps asking me to upgrade to the latest app ... Which it is ...

## Frequently asked questions about The Personalized Nutrition Project

### How does The Personalized Nutrition Project measure my response to food?

The app first records your blood sugar for a week to understand your personal response to various foods. It then uses this data, along with logged food intake, sleep, and exercise, to predict your individual glucose response to different meals.

### What kind of health data does The Personalized Nutrition Project use?

It collects your health status, genetics, gut microbes, physical activity, and blood glucose response to food. This comprehensive data is used to develop algorithms for predicting personal blood glucose responses.

### Can The Personalized Nutrition Project help with weight management?

Yes, by helping to control blood sugar levels, which are a risk factor for weight gain. The app aims to provide personalized dietary interventions that can support weight management goals.

### What is the science behind The Personalized Nutrition Project?

The project is led by scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science and is based on a novel, science-based approach to nutrition. Its goal is to administer personalized dietary interventions to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

### Does The Personalized Nutrition Project have ads?

No, this application does not contain advertisements.

### What devices is The Personalized Nutrition Project available on?

The app is currently supported on iPhone and iPod devices.
