Do you want to improve your core health so your body works better?

Do you want to improve your blood pressure, your blood sugar, or your cholesterol profile? Perhaps even reverse your pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes?

Do you want to dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease, many cancers, dementia, and stroke?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you want to improve your metabolic health. You would not be alone. Studies show that most people in the West, and as many as 93% in the US, struggle with their metabolic health.

The problem

The current ultra-processed food environment causes people to eat far more than they need, which explains our obesity epidemic. Most people in the Western world are now overweight or obese.

This can lead to energy toxicity, which affects the body negatively in various ways. An excess of visceral fat – “belly fat” – correlates with a state called insulin resistance. The body becomes insensitive to the hormone insulin, which shoots up high in response, and it can drive up blood glucose levels.

This situation starts a cascade of problems, including high blood pressure and abnormal cholesterol profiles, that, over time, drive most of our top chronic diseases.

The solution

The solution to this problem is to reverse this process. Instead of eating too much, eat less. Losing excess body fat can cause insulin resistance to disappear, blood glucose and blood pressure to normalize, etc. The whole cluster of problems starts to disappear.

We know the cause of our ongoing problems: it's our new food environment. We know the solution, it's to eat better.

Unfortunately, eating better is still harder than it should be. Ingredient lists are long and confusing, and nutrition panels are complex and overwhelming.

Perhaps this is by design: Keep people confused, keep them consuming and eating addictive ultra-processed foods. This is super-profitable for the food industry, and the results are great for the pharmaceutical industry. They get another profitable lifetime customer.

If you want to break free, this is where Hava comes in.

We're making it simple to eat better.

Making it simple

With Hava, we’re introducing two revolutionary advances. First, we remove the complexity of long ingredient lists and complex nutrition panels. We’ve created an ultra-simple scoring system. It’s just one number.

This number guides you to nutritious foods that make you want to eat the right amount.

Secondly, combining this simple system with brand-new generative AI allows us to revolutionize what a nutrition app does.

Hava is the first product making it simple to eat better. You can log a meal in seconds – you just take a picture. Then you get instant expert feedback and guidance.

We take the complexity away, and for the first time, we make it simple to eat better.

In short: we guide you to the foods that make you want to eat less calories, while still the nutrition you need! The best foods for you, that will help you achieve your health goals, help reverse disease, and possibly free you from food addiction and drug dependence.

You can eat as much or as little as you want, with foods that are familiar to you. The point is that you’ll feel full sooner, and you'll voluntarily end up eating less overall.

You can improve your chances of living a longer and healthier life.

Hava is revolutionary.

Getting started

Here’s how to get started. Just download the Hava app. Start taking pictures of what you eat (or type it in, if you prefer). Aim for a daily average of SPC 50 or above.[5] We’ll offer you continuous guidance on how to get there.

That’s it. You can use it no matter what food preferences you have. It can work for anyone.

Hava great day.
