Every plan starts from their profile — condition, age, weight, allergies, dislikes and food preferences — and the menu adapts to support regularity and comfort.
Condition-aware
Constipation, diabetes, heart failure, CKD, dementia, hypertension and 16 more — each plan is built around the dietary guidance for that condition, and caregivers should review it with the treating clinician.
Allergy & dislike aware
Tell us what to avoid — allergens, disliked foods, texture limits — and the system screens them out of the menu. Caregivers should still review every ingredient label and confirm important restrictions with a clinician or pharmacist.
Age & nutrition needs
Plans account for age, weight and activity to hit the right calories and protein for healthy aging.
Drug–food interaction alerts
If your loved one takes medication — statins, levodopa, blood thinners — the plan highlights foods that may interfere, so you can check with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.
You don't need to fill out forms alone. Ask NutriHearth in plain words — or just speak — and it answers, explains, and builds the menu for you.
Voice input
Speak your question in English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Spanish — the app understands what you say and replies.
Generate the menu for you
Say "my mom has constipation in seniors and doesn't like fish" — it fills in the profile and generates a matching 7-day plan automatically.
Explain any meal
Ask "why is this dinner good for her?" — it walks you through the calories, nutrients and the condition-specific reasoning behind each recipe.
Adjust & recommend
Say "swap tomorrow's breakfast" or "suggest something higher in protein" — it revises the plan and recommends alternatives on the spot.
The science behind each plan comes from peer-reviewed literature — not opinion or trends. The constipation plan follows expert guidance on fiber and hydration.
Resistant starch type 3 & chronic constipation (RCT, 2024)
Randomized trial showing resistant starch improves stool frequency in chronic constipation.
Polydextrose fiber & transit time in constipated adults (RCT, 2018)
Randomized controlled trial on fiber supplementation and intestinal transit time.
Fiber-rich foods
Whole grains, legumes, fruit and vegetables add the fiber that supports regularity.
Hydration aware
Plans pair fiber with adequate fluids — both are needed for comfortable digestion.
What the science says about Constipation in Seniors
The 2025 British Dietetic Association guideline for chronic constipation in adults recommends systematically integrating three dietary factors: dietary fiber of about 25–30 g/day, adequate fluid intake of roughly 1.5–2 L/day, and a high-fiber eating pattern built on whole grains, berries, legumes and vegetables. Fiber and fluids work together — fiber without enough fluid can worsen symptoms.

🍽 Build Your Personalized Meal PlanWhat foods help with constipation in seniors?
Expert guidance emphasizes fiber — whole grains, legumes, fruit and vegetables — plus adequate fluids and regular meals. Our 7-day plan turns this into realistic, senior-friendly meals.
How much does NutriHearth cost?
Start with a one-month free trial. After the trial, a paid subscription ($5/month) is required unless you cancel. We believe nutrition support shouldn't be a burden on caregivers.
Can I use it for other conditions?
Yes — we cover 21+ conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, chronic kidney disease (CKD), dysphagia (swallowing difficulty), COPD, Parkinson's, frailty, pressure ulcers and more.
Can I talk to the app instead of filling forms?
Yes. NutriHearth has a built-in AI assistant — type or speak your question (voice works in 5 languages) and it can generate the menu, explain why a meal fits your loved one's condition, and adjust the plan when you ask.
Does the app check food–drug interactions?
Yes. If you list the medications your loved one takes, the plan highlights foods that may interact with them — for example grapefruit with statins, or protein timing with levodopa — so you can raise it with the prescribing doctor or pharmacist.
Can I buy the ingredients directly?
Yes. Every ingredient in your shopping list is matched to a real product page on Amazon or Walmart with live prices — so you can order the whole list without hunting the store.
Is this medical advice?
No. NutriHearth is a nutrition support tool, not a substitute for clinical guidance. Always consult a physician or registered dietitian before making significant dietary changes.
