HOW IT WORKS

Read more
  • Log your day: search over 1 million foods, scan a barcode or pick from your Frequents, then add your symptoms, sleep, stress and anything else you want to track
  • Keep logging for 28 days, so the analysis has enough of your data to work with
  • Open Insights to see what's associated with your symptoms, with every result explained in a plain-English sentence

No calorie counting and no diet targets: just your diary and the patterns in it.
