Your health profile is the heart of VitalPlate — it’s what every food score and meal plan is built around. It’s organized into five kinds of entry:
- Conditions — like kidney disease, heart or blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, gout, IBS, acid reflux, or celiac.
- Medications — ones with food interactions, like warfarin, statins, or transplant medications. See Medications and food.
- Allergies — peanut, tree nut, shellfish, milk, egg, soy, fish, sesame, wheat/gluten. See Allergies.
- Food reactions — sensitivities like FODMAPs, caffeine, nightshades, high-oxalate foods, or grapefruit.
- Diets — how you like to eat, like vegan or keto. See Diets and food preferences.
You set this up in a short interview when you start (see Setting up your health profile) and can change it any time in settings. Each entry adds rules — foods to avoid and/or nutrient limits — that combine into your personal plan.
VitalPlate is a tool to support your choices, not a substitute for medical advice. Your care team’s guidance always comes first.
