The gap after the report
The consultation takes minutes. Daily life takes weeks.
The report stays a PDF
Full of abbreviations and units. Without help, they stay unclear.
Between appointments: nothing
The advice slips back into old habits – until the next appointment.
A leaflet is not a shopping list
If you don't know what to cook today, even the best advice goes unused.
Food Secrets closes this gap – in an app for daily life: shopping, cooking, weekly plan.
How it works
Three steps, one click
1 · Capture the report
Photograph, scan or choose the PDF of the report – or type the values.
2 · Understand
Values the lab marks as low or high come first – with its normal range and one clear sentence.
3 · On the plate
If they want, one click sorts the food ranking by nutrients the person chooses. From there, straight to recipes and weekly plan.
Live today: the nutrition app with over 1000 foods, 100+ nutrients (Swiss BLV data), rankings from over 1000 studies, recipe import, weekly plan and shopping list in four languages. With version 7.5: the lab feature. In development: the professional account.
For clinics and physicians
Your conversation about nutrition keeps working – all the way to the kitchen.
Values people understand
Every value with your lab's normal range and one plain sentence – in the person's language.
From the conversation to the kitchen
Foods, recipes, a weekly plan and a shopping list instead of a leaflet in a drawer.
Ready to start
The person downloads the app and captures their report themselves – nothing to set up in your practice.
Food Secrets is a nutrition tool for adults that you can build into your counselling and into nutrition and lifestyle programmes. Diagnosis, therapy and medical decisions stay with you.
For nutrition counselling
Your counselling stays with clients between sessions.
Guidance when you're not there
Every day, the client sees foods and recipes for her goals – and which foods contain a lot of the nutrients her values relate to.
Recipes and a plan, not a list
Your advice becomes recipes, a weekly plan and the shopping list.
Later: your professional account
Clients link to you; you send recipes and plans and see what the client shares with you – only with her consent, revocable at any time.
For laboratories
From lab value to foods, recipes and a weekly plan.
Foods, recipes, weekly plan
Foods, recipes and a weekly plan – with your normal ranges, your status and your name.
Several reports in one place
Planned: new reports sit next to the old ones. A reminder only exists if the user sets it herself.
A new sales channel
Later: offer your tests in the Food Secrets shop or by link – clearly marked as an offer and kept apart from the rankings.
Nothing to integrate
The app reads reports from common labs in ten languages. An interface is possible, not required.
Neutral: no lab can buy a place in our rankings. A partner lab's nutrition notes are shown only to its own customers – with the lab's name. If we sell a lab's tests, we say so openly. We pass our users' lab values to no lab.
Safe and transparent
What you can rely on
Clear roles
The app turns values into foods, recipes and a weekly plan. Diagnosis and therapy stay with you.
Status from the lab
“Low” or “high” comes only from the report. Where it has no range, the app shows a general range for comparison only – with no status.
Every suggestion with a source
Every link from lab value to nutrient is backed by evidence. We disclose the method to professionals.
Data stays on the phone
Encrypted, only with consent, deleted with one click.

Data on the device
We have made the legal classification ourselves, following the EU guidance MDCG 2019-11; an independent legal review will follow.

FAQ for professionals
Is Food Secrets a medical device?
Food Secrets is a nutrition and cooking app for adults. It shows foods, recipes and a weekly plan for lab values; the status comes from the lab, diagnosis and therapy stay with you. By our own classification under the EU guidance MDCG 2019-11 it is not a medical device; an independent legal review will follow. The app is not intended for children or for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Which lab values can the app read?
At launch, blood values: blood count, iron, vitamins, blood lipids, blood sugar, CRP and minerals – from photos, scans and PDFs of paper lab reports, in ten languages. Anything the app cannot read with certainty, it shows for confirmation. Microbiome tests follow with our lab partner.
Do we see our clients' data?
Only what the person shares herself. The values are stored encrypted on her phone. A link to you comes later and applies only with her consent, revocable at any time.
What if a report shows no normal range?
Then the app shows a published general range with its source for comparison, labelled “not rated by your lab”. In that case there is no low or high status.
In which languages and countries is the app available?
In German, French, Italian and English, on the App Store and Google Play – for Switzerland, Germany and Austria.
How are the suggestions made?
From over 1000 foods with over 100 nutrients (based on Swiss BLV data) and over 1000 studies. Every ranking and every link from lab value to nutrient is backed by sources. On request we disclose the full method to professionals.
