OptimumU™
Our health depends on many things, but mostly it depends on us.
The all in one health & wellness app that includes everything from workouts, food logging, gratitude journaling, relaxation breathing, and more is finally here.
Discover Your OptimumU
Do you remember a time when you were healthier? Happier? You probably know the when, but what’s more important is the how. Or, perhaps getting in shape has always felt like a losing battle. Getting to (and maintaining) your optimal state has never been easy—until now.
PERSONAL
You are the key. You know where you want to be, physically and mentally, and we guide you there, so that you can become self-empowered.
POWERFUL
OptimumU takes a look at everything from exercise, diet and lifestyle, to emotions, breathing, and mindfulness. Our best-in-class technology creates an understandable picture of your data—so that you can spend less time guessing and more time enjoying your life.

OptimumU Health Score and Wellness Graph
The Health Score and Wellness Graph are visualizations of your progress. They’re designed to give you a metric for your success, by comparing you, not to other people, but to yourself over time. It’s up to you what you want to analyze. Body fat? Mood? Sleep? Food quality? Steps? Exercise? We’ve got the data and we help you apply it to your decisions. Because if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
Behavioral Nudges
Nudges are personal reminders and notifications that are uniquely designed to keep you on track.
Sample Nudges:
- Savor the “good.” Most people notice the pleasure in special moments, like a birth or a vacation. Everyday pleasures, on the other hand, can pass by without much notice. Be mindful of those times too.
- Monitoring changes in waist circumference over time may be helpful, in addition to measuring BMI, since it can provide an estimate of increased abdominal fat, even when BMI remains constant.
- Community and environment matter. Even if you can’t move from where you live, you can live well where you move.
Time Machine
What was I doing last Fall that made me feel so amazing? Find out. The Time Machine records and stores data so that you can see exactly what you were eating, doing, and feeling when you were at the top of your game.
Gratitude Journaling
Happiness is something you create, and practice makes perfect. The gratitude journal encourages you to take a few minutes to reflect on all the good stuff.
Mood Trends
You know your mood can affect what you eat or whether or not you squeeze that workout in. But how does it impact other aspects of your life? When you’re stressed, do you have trouble sleeping? When you’re happy, do you have more energy? Does skipping workouts make you feel irritable? Use Mood Trends to gain more insight into why you feel the way you do.
Food Quality Tracking
You know that the food you eat has a significant impact on your health and wellness, but it’s not all about calories—quality is as important, if not more, than quantity. OptimumU helps you pay attention to the big picture, without the tedious tracking of every bite.
OptimumU Food Tracking helps you record the quality of your food and factors it into your OptimumU Score. Your food journal is also monitored, scored, and nudged based on your unique food choices. This helps you see the correlation between the foods you’re eating and other aspects of your well-being, such as sleep, activity, mood, etc.
Our ideal food plan is organic, (if possible), and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. It also includes some fish, poultry, legumes, low in sodium, and a small number of nuts and seeds. We also recommend limiting foods and beverages that are high in saturated fat and sugar. By focusing on high-quality, nutrient-dense foods, you create a diet that is naturally high in fiber and low in sugar, cholesterol, and total fat.
As you cut out added sugars and sodium, and focus on increasing intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes, you’re filling yourself with essential nutrients like protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which can stabilize your blood sugar and keep you feeling full longer. Eliminating processed junk food is another important step toward living a healthy life. By making good food choices, you reduce your risk of developing excess belly fat, something that is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
OptimumU Food Tracking makes it easy to log what you’re eating. (It won’t always be a perfect match, so just choose the category that best describes your overall food choices for the day.)
Mostly vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, purple or sweet potatoes
Some vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, seeds, meats
White flour pasta, white flour bread, a few vegetables, meats
Processed frozen dinners, heavily processed prepared foods
Dairy, fast food, sweets, soda
Deep fried foods, sweets, trans fats, artificial sweeteners, overcooked/charred meats, processed meats
It’s not that calories don’t matter, but the more important thing is that you prioritize getting nutritious whole foods that can satisfy your hunger while doing your mind and body good.
