What you'll do

Message or call one person you care about, or make a plan to see them. Keep it short and regular; a few touchpoints a week beats one long catch-up.

Why it's here

Strong social connection is linked to lower risk of heart disease and early death, and loneliness carries risk on par with major lifestyle factors.

Valtorta NK, et al. (2016). Loneliness and social isolation as risk factors for coronary heart disease and stroke: systematic review and meta-analysis. Heart. doi.org/10.1136/heartjnl-2015-308790

The shift

The wellness world tells you what to do. We teach you to know what actually works, and why.

Wellness literacy is the skill to find, understand, and evaluate wellness information. It's the difference between following an influencer and reading the evidence for yourself. That skill is what we build into every screen.

01Find

We surface the practices that have real research behind them, not the loudest trend.

02Understand

Every recommendation explains the mechanism: why it works, in plain language.

03Evaluate

Each claim carries a grade and its citations, so you can judge the evidence yourself.

The evidence engine

Twenty-four thousand papers, distilled into your plan.

We don't generate advice. We assemble it from a governed body of peer-reviewed research, screened and graded down to the handful of routines proven to move the needle.

The evidence layer

Don't trust us. Verify us.

Every recommendation can be peeled back to the studies underneath it. Tap verify. The proof is one layer down, on every screen.

Easy, Zone-2 aerobic training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic health.

Sustained low-to-moderate aerobic training raises cardiorespiratory fitness and improves cardiometabolic markers, and even light-intensity activity is linked to better cardiometabolic health and lower all-cause mortality.

One color owns the proof.

Wherever you see slate, you're looking at evidence: the verified mark, every citation, every DOI, every link. Its scarcity is exactly what makes it read as trust.

Graded, not just citedEvery study carries a HEALM grade, so you see the strength of the evidence, not just its existence.

Evidence grades

Trust, legible at a glance.

Strength of evidence reads like a podium: gold, silver, bronze. Weak evidence earns no medal, and never lands on a plan we recommend.

All of wellness

Wellness is bigger than the gym.

Most apps stop at fitness. Applied Wellness covers all eight evidence-based dimensions of well-being, with 14 focus areas, and builds routines across the ones that matter to you.

Built around you

A routine builder for every area of wellness, matched to you.

Tell us your goals, your time, your equipment, and how strong you need the evidence to be. We surface every evidence-based option that fits. You choose, and we build it into your week. We filter to your life; we never dumb the science down.

01Tell us what you need

Pick the areas you want to work on, from all eight dimensions of wellness and their 14 focus areas.

02Answer a few questions

Goals, time, equipment, setting, level, and your evidence bar (A only, A–B, A–C, or A–D).

03Get your week

Every qualifying, cited, HEALM-graded option, assembled into a routine you can actually follow, and verify.

You filter byGoalTimeEquipmentSettingLevelEvidence grade

Comprehensive by design: the library holds every evidence-supported option the research surfaces. Curation happens through your answers, not by hiding what exists.

The payoff

Evidence is the input. Your week is the output.

The science only matters if you actually do it. So we turn graded evidence into a plan built around your life: a few blocks a week, across the areas you chose, not a second job.

1
Routine recommendedBased on your answers, we recommend evidence-based routines across the areas you picked.
2
Scheduled into your weekRoutines drop onto your calendar as blocks: a real, followable week, not a list of tips.
3
Open a block → exactly what to doEvery block expands to its exercise-level steps: the specific practices, the evidence-anchored dose, swappable options, and the block's grade + citations one tap away.

Evidence-anchored, but flexible: the block always carries what the research recommends. You follow it, or fit it to the time and equipment you actually have.
