Problem
Generalized dietary advice often fails to account for individual metabolic responses to food, leading to ineffective or unsustainable nutritional strategies. People struggle to understand how their bodies uniquely process different foods, hindering their ability to make informed choices for optimal health.

By analyzing individual responses to food, ZOE generates personalized scores for various food items, guiding users toward choices that improve gut health, energy levels, and overall well-being. The program uses an AI-driven app to track diet, provide feedback on meal composition, and offer support from ZOE coaches. ZOE's approach emphasizes adding diverse, metabolism-boosting foods rather than restrictive dieting, promoting sustainable, long-term health improvements.
