[AI Dojo] The story of how I created an app to visualize gut health after being shocked by Sho Ashihara's "Reverse Ecology"

Oss! I'm a karate-practicing dad.

This is sudden, but how do you all manage your meals?

Hmm? Me?
Well, of course, I drink beer, eat meat, get a little chubby, cut calories, restrict my meals, get scolded by my wife, eat vegetables, drink beer, eat meat—it's an endless cycle.

Without even knowing about the battle for gut supremacy...

Actually, I recently came across an incredibly interesting, and slightly terrifying, article on note.

And so, I made an app. For now, here is the gut visualization app 💁 (If you don't care about the article and just want the app, go ahead! I love that.)

(*You can use this app indefinitely)

■ This app is recommended for people like this!

・You never stick with health management apps
・You're tired of calorie counting
・Your stomach has been feeling a bit off lately
・You repeat the cycle of: drink alcohol -> regret it -> drink water (Is this me!?)
・You want to visualize "imbalance" rather than "overeating management"
・You don't need perfection; you just want a loose grasp of your condition
・You love AI, life hacks, and personalized tools

I think you'll really get hooked on it!

Conversely,
If you are someone who says,
"I want to manage calories down to the 1kcal!"
"I want to track my PFC strictly for muscle training!"

then this might not be for you 💦This is not a "self-blaming management app
", but a tool to observe when "things are a bit out of balance right now" 🥋

Now, onto the main story 💁

■ An inspiring article I want everyone to read

Title: [Reverse Ecology] Beyond the illusion of "bacterial balance": The quiet revolution of precision medicine opened up by custom-made probiotics

Author: Sho Ashihara

The inside of your gut is basically the end of the century.
YOU ARE SHOCKED!

Gut bacteria are not just "good" or "bad."
Depending on what we eat (especially modern high-calorie and processed foods), specific "elite strains" proliferate wildly and dominate the gut ecosystem!
I recommend everyone read it once!

Ashihara-san, thank you so much for your truly wonderful insights! I learned a lot 🙇‍♂️

■ How to incorporate "Reverse Ecology" into daily life?

After reading this article, I thought, there is a perspective that nutrition alone cannot see.

Many health apps manage "quantity."

But what I was concerned about was "gut imbalance".

They tell you to eat vegetables or cut back on sweets, but they don't tell you how much the balance inside your stomach is disrupted.

"Wouldn't it be better to create a dedicated tool that skips the tedious calculations and allows you to intuitively record and analyze only the 'balance'?"

So, I quickly forged this at the AI App Dojo 💁

👇 Meal and hydration balance recording app "Stomach Balancer"

■ What is the capability of "Stomach Balancer"?

It is not a tool for strictly calculating calories and scolding you with "You ate too much!"

It is strictly for objectively recording the "proportions" of your meals and the "frequency" of your hydration, and using the power of AI to grasp "what you took now and what you should supplement tomorrow."

And actually, Stomach Balancer... I somehow pulled the Great Deity (the 3% hit rate for Dojo apps)!!!

So this app looks cleaner than previous ones, and the URL storage period is 3 months (it became unlimited due to an incident ☠️)! Please try experiencing it.

Now, here is how to use it. I focused on making it as simple as possible.

① Record meals intuitively with a "slider"

A point I'm proud of!
I made it so you can record the frequency of tea, water, alcohol, and sweet juices with a single tap.

You can see at a glance if you've properly offset your alcohol intake by drinking "water" afterwards.

② At night, leave the analysis to AI (Gemini)!

It is not an 'overeating management' app, but an app that visualizes 'imbalances in the gut environment'.Based on the perspective of the negative spiral where specific meals in 'Reverse Ecology' cause

bacteria to become imbalanced, and those imbalanced bacteria then crave the same food, it provides objective analysis and a 'prescription for tomorrow'.

■ 🏆 Invitation to the Magazine Project 'Solitary Apps'

To you who think, 'This niche app is probably something only I would use...'!
That 'custom tool just for you' might just be the hint that dramatically changes someone else's life 🙇‍♂️

I have created a magazine to collect the custom apps you all have built in the Dojo!

👇 Click here for the 'Solitary Apps' magazine

Please, introduce the app you built on note (be sure to add #AIAppDojo or #SolitaryApps!).

Let's add them to the magazine and share our ideas with everyone!

■ Conclusion: Take care of your own body

'Stomach Balancer' does not judge you.
Even if you drank too much alcohol at a party, you can just grasp your condition and move on, thinking, 'Okay, tomorrow I'll drink more water and be mindful of fermented foods.'

Let's use knowledge and structure to manage our own territory (our gut environment and the contents of our smartphones) ourselves.

👇 Click here for the 'AI App Dojo (Free Introductory Course)' where anyone can build a 'custom app' with just four questions 💁

Let's fight together. Oss!
