Follow Your Gut

What it does

Description:

In Kenya, after a long day of work and battling traffic, the common question in many households is, "Tutakula nini?"—meaning "What are we eating today?" This question resonates with everyone, from the bachelor in Nairobi to the mother of four in Mombasa. However, the answer often revolves around a limited range of staples like rice, ugali, and chapati. This lack of dietary diversity can negatively impact gut health, immunity, and overall well-being.

Problem Statement:

Many Kenyans rely on a narrow set of staple foods, leading to a lack of dietary variety that affects gut health and overall wellness.

Solution:

Introducing FYG, a Gemini-powered web app that promotes gut health through personalized meal plans rooted in Kenyan cuisine. By leveraging the power of Gemini, FYG tailors meal plans and grocery lists based on individual user profiles, ensuring a balanced and diverse diet.

Target Audience:

Health-conscious Kenyans looking to diversify their diets and improve their gut health.

Gemini API Integration:

FYG uses the Gemini API to generate personalized meal plans and grocery lists. Users provide details such as age, gender, height, weight, activity level, goals (e.g., weight loss or muscle gain), allergies, medical conditions, dietary restrictions, and preferences. These inputs are processed through Gemini's AI, which outputs a detailed meal plan and corresponding grocery list tailored to each user's needs.
