We built the food score we wished existed.
Healthy Body Index is a product of Xpand Digital. We were tired of scores that stopped at saturated fat and sugar — so we built one that reads the whole story.
Weight Watchers scores saturated fat and sugar. Useful, but it’s a sliver of what a food actually does inside you. HBI scores across twelve scientific dimensions — including longevity-pathway activation, the cellular machinery tied to how well you age.
That grounding comes from Dr. Michael Greger’s longevity research and modern nutritional science: the same pathways longevity researchers obsess over, made legible in a number you can read at a glance and act on at your next meal.
The food score your cells would give.
Every bite, scored.
The database is the point.
A 22-table nutrition database, roughly 3,000 foods enriched, and every score traceable to published research through an evidence chain — a depth no consumer app carries.
The idea is simple: put the rigour in the data so the app can stay calm and simple. The science is structured, queryable, and cited — which is exactly why the number on your screen can afford to be quiet.
What we believe.
Four ideas shape every score, every screen, and every word we publish.
Depth made simple
The rigour lives in the data so the app can stay calm. You get one honest number; the twelve dimensions do the heavy lifting underneath.
Longevity over dieting
We score for the pathways that support normal healthy function over a lifetime — not for a number on a scale this week.
Celebration, not shame
Food is one of the good things. HBI is built to reward what you add and the colours you hit, never to scold you for what you ate.
Graded, not hyped
Every score is labelled by evidence strength — from human trials down to lab findings — and we never dress a cell study up as a human trial. Citations appear publicly only once we’ve confirmed them against the primary paper.
