If you know me, you’ll know I’m obsessed with two things — AI and wellness. I fast daily, walk religiously, and track just about everything. But the biggest game-changer? Realising that AI could help me eat exactly what my body needs — not what the latest diet trend dictates.
As someone who builds digital tools for professionals and founders, I’ve always seen tech as a way to simplify the complex. So when I saw how AI-powered nutrition apps were revolutionising personal health, I knew this wasn’t just another fad — this was a turning point. We’ve all been there: trying to stick to
a diet plan someone swore by, only to crash out after a few days. Why? Because one-size-fits-all doesn’t work — not in business, and definitely not in health. That’s where AI steps in.
The Science of You
We now have access to real-time biological data — your gut health, glucose levels, even your metabolic flexibility. AI tools digest all this (pun intended) and turn it into practical, personalised advice. No vague “eat less sugar” tips. We’re talking “eat oats at 9am and lentils for lunch to balance your blood sugar and boost your focus.”

AI observes, learns and adapts — daily. And when it comes to what you put in your body, that level of precision is a complete shift.
Tools That Actually Know You
Here are a few of my favourites already changing lives:
ZOE: I tried this myself. You get a full breakdown of your microbiome, blood sugar, and fat response, then the AI gives you food scores based on your biology. Game-changing. Steven Barlett is an investor, so you know.
Lumen: This device measures whether you're burning fat or carbs by analysing your breath. Based on that, you get a daily personalised macro guide. Less guesswork, more results.
Nutrisense: Paired with a continuous glucose monitor, it tracks how your body reacts to specific meals. You get insights and suggestions based on how you actually respond, not just averages.
Meal Garden: For people who want flexibility, this AI meal planner adapts based on your goals, ingredients on hand, and how much time you’ve got to cook.
Why It Matters
As someone building a health-focused social enterprise and tech-driven solutions, I see the direction we’re heading. Your AI nutrition assistant will soon sync with your wearable, calendar, and even your fridge — helping you shop, plan, eat, and live better.
The real power isn’t in the tech itself. It’s in how it helps you tune in to what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.
No more crash diets. No more generic meal plans. Just intelligent, personalised nutrition — designed for the only person it should serve: you.
