I encourage all my patients to follow appropriate nutrition and research other options for themselves. These apps are an excellent step towards improving people’s knowledge in this area.” Shahin Tabatabaei, MD Mass General Hospital; Harvard Medical School “This series of apps provide dietary recommendations, easy to understand and thus easy to implement into daily life. Most doctors would find it difficult to discuss dietary recommendations at the level of detail found in the series. They should serve as a valuable complement in helping people manage chronic illnesses through dietary and lifestyle modifications.” Andrew S. Lenhardt, MD Lahey Clinic, Beverly, MA
