ZOE: Personalized Nutrition

Zoe Limited

About this app

SCIENTIFIC:
We run the world’s largest in-depth nutritional research program, in collaboration with scientists from Harvard University, Mass General Hospital, Stanford University and Kings College London.

PERSONALIZED:
Our studies show that one-size-fits-all nutrition just doesn't work. So the ZOE program starts with the most comprehensive at-home test available – analyzing your gut microbiome, blood sugar, and blood fat – to get an accurate picture of your unique biology.

CUTTING EDGE:
The impact of food on your metabolism is more complex than just calories in. Which is why we use the latest developments in machine learning and the microbiome to understand how gut microbes influence your health and weight.

NO FOOD OFF LIMITS:
We know most of our members have tried other programs in the past. But members tell us that ZOE feels different. You won't count points, calories or macros here and that can feel really liberating. Instead you'll learn what your own body needs and see that playing with your food is actually pretty fun!

SUPPORTED:
You'll have support and guidance from our ZOE Coaches every step of the way. All our coaches are trained in the ZOE method with a deep understanding of nutrition science. So you're in safe hands.

HOW ZOE WORKS

1. Your body is unique. So we'll start with a comprehensive, easy-to-use, at-home test to understand your biology from all angles – gut microbiome, blood sugar, and blood fat.
2. Our detailed insight reports compare your test results to thousands of other people. Revealing how your body works and which foods will nourish it.
3. You'll then put your insights into action with a personalized program – helping you work towards your health and weight goals with motivating challenges and supporting lessons each week.
4. Finally, make it your own! We know restrictive diets don't work. So with ZOE no food is off limits. You'll use the app to learn how to build great meals and see that with the right combinations your body can have a better response to what you eat and you can avoid dietary inflammation.

Ratings and reviews

I appreciate your microbiome-tailored diet but have feedback on the scoring system. It focuses too much on negative reinforcement. For example, a healthy lunch can be erased by a minor slip at dinner, discouraging consistency. A balanced approach with more positive reinforcement or gamification could improve motivation. Also, the app’s pop-over blocked me from submitting feedback, erasing my message. Hope this helps!

I am very much enjoying the Zoe app. I love the suggestions of new meals and the option to choose from vegan vegetarian or carnivore. Because the food recommendations are personalized I can enjoy many kinds of foods that are good for me. learning about fermentation and probiotics has been very interesting. I am starting to sprout various seeds to add to our food in winter. It has been fun to discover new recipes and enjoy new kinds of foods. Coaches link to studies for info when I have ???

Love this ap and the ZOE program! I have been able to customize my food choices based on MY bodies reaction to blood sugar, fats and gut bacteria. I challenge myself everyday to get a higher score on my meals by adding higher point foods. The ZOE ap makes it easy by enabling you to scan your food labels and see your approximate score for that item. I did not do this to lose weight, although that would be easy to do with all the tools provided, I did this to get better control of my blood sugar.
