Which Profile Is Right for You?

---

DASH

Best for users with hypertension or pre-hypertension. Focuses on reducing sodium and increasing potassium. Supported by the strongest evidence base for blood pressure reduction.

Mediterranean

Best for users focused on long-term cardiovascular health and cognitive function. Emphasises olive oil, fish, legumes, and whole grains. Flexible and sustainable for most people.

Low-Carb

Best for users managing blood sugar, insulin resistance, or seeking short-term weight loss. Restricts carbohydrates to < 130 g/day. Requires attention to fibre intake from non-starchy vegetables.

High-Protein

Best for active individuals, those building muscle, or those in caloric restriction who want to preserve lean mass. Sets protein targets at ≥1.6 g/kg body weight/day.

Plant-Based

Best for users focused on cholesterol reduction, environmental sustainability, or ethical food choices. Requires supplementation of vitamin B12 and, if fully vegan, omega-3 fatty acids.

A Note on Personalisation

No single diet profile is optimal for every person. VitalSync’s profiles are based on population-level evidence. Consider discussing your specific health history, medications, and goals with a registered dietitian or your healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
