Not in the traditional sense — there's no meal plan, no banned foods, and no calorie target. It's a tracking and scoring system for the lifestyle factors that drive inflammation.
A lower FAD Score means your recent food, sleep, alcohol, exercise and stress inputs are estimated to be adding less inflammatory load. It's one useful signal among many, not a full medical picture.
No. THE FAD does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it isn't a substitute for professional medical advice or lab testing such as an hs-CRP blood test.
No — the score is designed to work with imperfect, real-world logging, and the 7-day rolling average smooths out any single day's gaps or slip-ups.
There's a free tier with manual logging and your daily score, and a Premium tier with the AI coach, photo-based meal scoring and deeper analytics. See the App & Pricing page for details.
Wearable integrations (Apple Health, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Whoop) are on the roadmap and rolling out progressively.
It's built from published research across nutrition, sleep, exercise physiology and stress biology. See the Research library for an overview, and The FAD Score page for the exact weighting model.
