Frequently asked questions

What is Cholesterol Coach?

Cholesterol Coach is an AI-powered nutrition and blood-results tracking app that helps you lower LDL and non-HDL cholesterol by connecting what you eat every day with how your blood markers evolve over time. You log meals (by text or photo), upload lab results, and get personalized coaching based on both.

How does Cholesterol Coach help lower LDL cholesterol?

The app tracks the two nutrients that most influence LDL — saturated fat (to reduce) and soluble fiber (to increase) — alongside your actual LDL, HDL, triglycerides, non-HDL and ApoB from lab reports. Weekly AI insights suggest concrete food swaps based on your patterns, not generic advice.

Is Cholesterol Coach free?

Yes. The core app — meal logging, blood-marker tracking, basic trends and dashboard — is free forever. Premium (€10/month or €50/year) unlocks the AI Menu Advisor, trends beyond 30 days, weekly AI insight summaries, and unlimited blood-marker entries.

How does the photo-to-macro meal logging work?

Take a photo of your meal and the AI estimates calories, protein, carbs, fat, saturated fat, fiber, sugar, sodium and dietary cholesterol, then explains the likely impact on your LDL. You can edit any value before saving.

Can I upload my blood test results?

Yes. Upload a PDF or a photo of your lab report and the app extracts LDL, HDL, triglycerides, non-HDL and ApoB automatically. You confirm the values, then see them plotted over time against your nutrition habits.

What is the Menu Advisor?

Paste or upload any restaurant menu and the AI ranks dishes as Best choice, Good, or Avoid based on your cholesterol goals — flagging hidden saturated fat, cooking method and portion issues so you can order confidently.

Is Cholesterol Coach a medical device or medical advice?

No. Cholesterol Coach is an educational tool for tracking nutrition and personal lab results. It does not diagnose, treat or replace advice from your physician. Always discuss medical decisions with your doctor.

Who built Cholesterol Coach?

Cholesterol Coach was built by Jeroen De Smet, co-founder of Callbuddy, after his own cholesterol slowly rose despite an active lifestyle. He wanted an app that finally connected daily food choices with blood results in a simple, personal way.

What data does Cholesterol Coach store?

Only what you log: profile basics (age, gender, height, weight, goals), meals, blood markers and challenges you join. Data is stored securely and is used to generate your personalized coaching. You can delete your account at any time.
