Every plan starts from their profile — condition, age, weight, allergies, dislikes and food preferences — and the menu adapts to support healthy cholesterol levels.
Condition-aware
High cholesterol, 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 high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) 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 cholesterol plan follows the 2025 ESC/EAS dyslipidaemia update and current lipid-management guidance.
Dietary Therapy for LDL Cholesterol Reduction (NCBI)
Reduce saturated fat to <7% of calories, eliminate trans fat, increase soluble fiber (10–25 g/day) and plant sterols (2 g/day); include omega-3 fish ≥2 servings/week.
2026 Practical Guide to Dyslipidaemia (Clin Res Cardiol)
Lifestyle interventions are the basis of lipid therapy — the guide incorporates the 2025 Focused Update of the ESC/EAS guidelines, with emphasis on early diagnosis and evidence-based management.
Soluble fiber
Oats, beans, barley and fruit deliver viscous fiber shown to lower LDL cholesterol.
Omega-3 fish
Plans include fatty fish at least twice a week — a cornerstone of heart-healthy eating.
What the science says about High Cholesterol (Hyperlipidemia)
LDL-lowering guidance now centers on the overall eating pattern rather than single nutrients. Authoritative guidelines (AHA/ACC) recommend replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat — keeping saturated fat under 6–7% of calories — and increasing dietary fiber. Whole grains, nuts, seeds and fish are emphasized; modern guidance no longer sets a standalone dietary-cholesterol cap but focuses on fat quality and how processed a food is. Supplement evidence is mixed: plant sterols and soluble fiber have meta-analytic support as adjuncts to lifestyle change, while other over-the-counter lipid supplements are not recommended for lowering cardiovascular risk.

🍽 Build Your Personalized Meal PlanFood and medications
If your loved one takes prescription medications, food can change how well they work. These evidence-based guides explain the timing rules and which foods to review with the doctor or pharmacist.
Blood pressure & heart medications: what to eat and avoid
Rivaroxaban with food, grapefruit caution with statins, and consistent vitamin K on warfarin — from FDA labels and 2020–2025 research.
What foods are good for someone with high cholesterol?
Guidelines emphasize reducing saturated fat (under 7% of calories), increasing soluble fiber, plant sterols and omega-3 fish. Think oats, beans, nuts, fruit and fatty fish — our 7-day plan makes this practical for caregivers.
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.
