Tackling an energy crisis that effects most of us

What is Patchwork

At Patchwork Food, we believe that everyone’s body is uniquely different, and so should their diet be.

We specialize in creating personalized nutrition plans that are tailored specifically to your genetic makeup, metabolism, and current health status.

Why We Started

Patchwork was born out of frustration with outdated and uneducated solutions to a modern problem.

Doctors don’t understand nutrition, nutritionists don’t understand systems, and social media talking heads don’t understand science.

None of them can begin to comprehend DNA mutations, and all usually say “uh something something microbiome?”

What was “Eat less, move more” has evolved into “have you tried low carb” or “why don’t you try these injections” – but don’t try and ask them why or how those might work, or do, you’ll be shocked by the lack of a coherent answer.

To solve a complex problem that is abnormal and illogical weight gain, and a body that will fight any attempt to reverse it, you need a wide ranging and complex understanding of the literature as well as a willingness to experiment.

This is where Patchwork came to be.

Why We Care

Ever since the 1970s, the USA and the rest of the world have been increasing it’s obesity rate very quickly.

In the 1970s, only a minority of people were obese or overweight.

Now, in the US, the majority are overweight or obese.  On top of that, 92–88 %of Americans are “metabolically unhealthy”.

At current rates, almost 100% of us will be in a metabolically unhealthy state soon enough.

Metabolic dysfunction has been linked to a huge amount of long-term health issues such as heart attacks, Alzheimer’s disease, eating disorders, decreased health span, cancer, and many other horrible things.  It’s partly responsible for the ballooning amounts of healthcare spending worldwide and is also linked to many mental health issues in ways people do not realize as Stanford’s Metabolic Psychiatry lab has been showing.

It’s estimated that 8.6–16 years can be added to everyone’s lifespan in the USA if we solve the metabolic crisis, and since they wouldn’t be metabolically dysfunctional, many of those years would be healthy ones.

This is the biggest health issue of our time, and through recent research, we can solve the international obesity crisis.

Every one of us knows someone of is someone who hits what we call “Emotional Bankruptcy”.

They have tried “everything” and they are still hungry, miserable and carrying a years worth of extra energy on their body, slowing them down, causing back pain, preventing them from hiking the trail they always wanted or getting in the way of picking up their kids comfortably.

We are here to fix this.

We are committed to getting you the painless help you need and will stick with you even when you feel like giving up.

Our Approach

We do things differently here at Patchwork Food. Instead of promoting a one-size-fits-all diet, we use DNA testing, metabolic assessments, and the latest scientific research to craft a diet plan that is as unique as you are. Our approach might challenge conventional weight loss advice, because what works for one might not work for another. We’re here to make educated guesses based on your biology:

• Personalized Plans: Based on your DNA, we design a diet that aligns with what your body needs rather than what’s popular.
• No Starvation: We don’t believe in calorie counting or starvation. Our aim is to help you shed weight effortlessly by understanding what’s blocking your metabolism.
• Science-Backed: Every recommendation we make is backed by cutting-edge research, ensuring you’re not just following a trend but benefiting from solid science.

Our Process

• Detailed Health Assessment: We start by collecting comprehensive data about your health history, lifestyle, and any available lab results. If you don’t have recent tests, no worries; we can work around that.
• Holistic Analysis: Our method goes beyond the typical medical questions, diving into aspects that might even surprise your doctor, to create a truly bespoke weight loss strategy.
• Tailored Experiments: We provide you with a roadmap of dietary experiments designed for your unique circumstances, helping your body naturally lose excess weight.

Our Philosophy

• Energy and Well-being: We recognize that your physical and cognitive energies are linked. Our goal is not just weight loss but whole-body revitalization and cognitive enhancement.
• Data Privacy: You own 100% of your data. We never sell, license, or share it with third parties. If used for training, it’s always anonymized.
