January AI, the company pioneering AI-driven metabolic health solutions including the January AI glucose food tracker app, unveils the next evolution of Jan, its on-demand nutritionist, delivering personalized guidance that evolves with users’ goals, habits, and metabolism.

Unlike traditional calorie-counting apps, January AI enables users to log food easily and accurately with a quick photo, or by describing what they ate in a simple sentence. The app leverages AI-powered food recognition, allowing users to snap a picture of their meal to instantly analyze its nutritional content and predict glucose impact before they eat. This groundbreaking feature transforms how people make real-time dietary decisions, shifting nutrition tracking from passive logging to proactive metabolic optimization.

The launch of Jan comes as metabolic health dominates national discourse, fueled by the rise of GLP-1 medications, growing concerns about prediabetes, and AI’s transformative role in healthcare. With an estimated 136 million Americans at risk for diabetes, including those with prediabetes and diabetes, and an explosion of interest in preventative, data-driven health strategies, January AI is taking a leadership role in shifting nutrition tracking from passive calorie counting to active, AI-powered coaching that evolves with the user.

How It Works: AI-Driven, Personal Nutrition Coaching

Unlike traditional diet apps that focus solely on calorie tracking, January AI takes a hyper-personalized approach using AI to set week-over-week nutrition goals based on macronutrient balance and the user’s unique health goals.

  • Step 1: The AI-Powered Consultation – Users start with a brief consultation with Jan, providing insights into their eating habits, preferences, and health challenges. Jan then sets a customized nutrition focus –a singular, achievable daily nutrition goal (e.g., increasing fiber intake to 25g/day). Jan also recommends supporting habits to reinforce progress, like adding spinach to your morning eggs for additional fiber.
  • Step 2: Daily Guidance & Accountability – Jan tracks progress, offers nudges, and provides real-time insights via notifications and chat support. Users can engage in conversations with Jan to overcome obstacles and refine goals.
  • Step 3: Smarter Tracking & Insights – A new Nourish Score distills food tracking, macronutrient intake, and glucose response into one clear, actionable metric. Integrated with Apple Health, January AI also analyzes activity and sleep to provide a 360° metabolic health snapshot.
  • Step 4: Weekly AI-Powered Check-Ins – Jan analyzes weekly trends, adapts goals, and fine-tunes recommendations based on user progress.

Why This Matters: AI-Driven Nutrition at a Time of Healthcare Disruption

People are experimenting with generic Chat (GPT) experiences to seek nutritional advice. However, without a foundation in metabolic science, these insights can be incomplete or misleading. January AI stands apart by leveraging peer-reviewed published research, including five of the brand’s own published peer-reviewed studies, along with a database of 54 million verified foods—from common groceries and major brands to restaurant menus and recipes—to deliver scientifically grounded, personalized nutrition recommendations.

“Our vision is to democratize metabolic health by making AI-driven nutrition coaching accessible to everyone,” said Noosheen Hashemi, CEO of January AI. “With Jan, we’re not just tracking food—we’re proactively optimizing it. This is the future of AI-powered wellness: real-time, personalized, and built to evolve with you.”

The Future of AI-Powered Nutrition is Here

Unlike costly CGMs (~$80 bi-weekly) or one-size-fits-all calorie trackers, January AI’s latest evolution brings clinical-grade metabolic intelligence to users for free, with optional premium features starting at $9.99/month or $59.99/year.
