Micronutrition Madness: The App That Talks Back (and Actually Helps)


As I promised the other day in yesterday’s digital fever dream of a newsletter… I’ve got something truly bizarre and wonderful for you today.

Straight out of the lab-coated minds of my friends over at Alma Nutrition—a new app that tracks your food, logs your intake, and somehow doesn’t make you feel like you’ve been sentenced to a lifetime of data entry in macro jail.

I know what you’re thinking:

“Oh great, another darn nutrition app… kill me now.”

...but wait—before you roll your eyes so hard they end up in your protein shake—this one’s different.

You can take a picture of your food.
The app analyzes it.
Magic.

You can talk to it. Like Siri, but less passive-aggressive.

And as of today—it tracks micronutrients too. That’s right, not just your precious macros but the deep-cut nutrient profile your mitochondria crave.

I’ve been kicking the tires on this beast for a while now. And the thing that blows my mind?

It’s idiot-proof.
No offense.
Actually, full offense if you’re still not tracking what goes in your pie-hole. hahah.

If you’re a Level 99 Macro Wizard and have turned Cronometer into a second religion, this isn’t for you. Let’s be honest—you’re already logging your seaweed chips and glycine gummies with military precision.

...But if you’ve been thinking about tracking your food and keep quitting 3 days in because every app sucks the joy out of life like a keto vampire? This might finally work.

And here’s where it gets nuts...

I got you 6 months FREE.
Use code DRMIKE at https://www.alma.food
(normally $19.99/month… which buys you like, 1.5 cartons of eggs these days)

What’s the catch?

None.

Zilch. I don’t make a penny.

I twisted the arms of some old friends from their days at PUSH, traded them exposure and user feedback for this sweet deal.

No pyramid schemes, no magic stickers, no supplements that “resonate at the frequency of your DNA.”

Just a dead-simple app that helps you understand what’s fueling your engine.

So if you’ve been avoiding tracking your food because every app feels like logging tax documents with chopsticks—give this one a go.

And if you find out your daily intake is 67% sadness, 29% cheese, and 4% half-melted protein bars... well, at least now you’ll know.

Give it a go with 6 months FREE.
Use code DRMIKE at https://www.alma.food

Much love and micros,
Dr. Mike

We also get into the mental and physical shifts that come with that transition, and how Aaron approaches training, nutrition, and recovery with intention. He shares his thoughts...
