How does your body feel? Select everything that feels true for you

Your honest experience is the data. The more specific you are, the more precise your blueprint.

Digestion & Gut

I get heartburn or acid after meals

I bloat rapidly - within 30 minutes of eating

Gas, cramping, or unpredictable stools are a regular thing

I'm often constipated, or alternate between constipation and loose stools

I feel nauseous or uncomfortably full after eating relatively little

Fatty or rich meals cause urgency or discomfort

I feel better when I eat less - food often makes me feel worse

Energy & Blood Sugar

I crash hard 1-3 hours after eating - especially after carbs or sugar

I get shaky, irritable, or foggy when meals are delayed

I crave sugar or refined carbs constantly - especially in the afternoon

My weight doesn't shift despite eating well and exercising

I'm tired after meals - eating makes me want to sleep

My energy is unpredictable - high one hour, depleted the next

I wake between 2-4am and can't get back to sleep

Hormones & Stress

I feel wired at night but slow and foggy in the morning

Hot flashes, night sweats, or temperature dysregulation

My mood shifts dramatically around my cycle or in a pattern I can't explain

My libido has dropped noticeably - sex drive or desire feel flat

My hair is thinning or I'm losing more than I used to

I feel like I'm running on stress - driven but depleted underneath

My motivation and drive have flattened - things that used to excite me don't

Inflammation & Immune

Joint pain, stiffness, or achiness that comes and goes

My skin flares - eczema, redness, breakouts, or rosacea

I react to certain foods - flushing, hives, congestion, or headaches after eating

I get sick easily or take a long time to recover

I feel like I have low-grade inflammation - stiff, puffy, or achy without a clear reason

Mind & Clarity

Brain fog - I go through stretches where thinking feels slow or effortful

My memory or word recall has noticeably declined

Anxiety or low-grade dread that I can't fully explain

I sleep enough hours but don't feel rested

None of the above - I feel well across the board

I know what feels nourishing and regulating to my nervous system.

Upload your labs (optional)

Blood work, hormone panel, gut test, or any functional medicine results. ALKA will read your markers and factor them directly into your blueprint.

If you have labs from the past 1 or 2 years, you can combine them into a single PDF and upload them together. ALKA reads patterns across time, so more history gives us a deeper view of how your body has evolved.

PDF only · Max 10MB · Your data stays private

Your lab PDF is stored privately in an encrypted database and used only to personalize your nourishment plan. ALKA connects your lab patterns to food traditions and ingredients. It does not provide medical interpretation of your results. Never sold or shared.

Which two days work best for meal prep? Select two

ALKA builds your prep schedule around these days - Sunday and Thursday are the default, but choose what fits your life.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

How would you describe the way you eat in and around training or movement?

Pre-workout, post-workout, on rest days - what does your eating currently look like around exercise?

How do you typically eat - pace, environment, alone or with others?

Eating at a desk, rushed, slow and seated, with family - this affects digestion as much as food choices do.

Again - what would change everything for you? Anything we haven't asked?

Your honesty here helps us create the most alive and personal blueprint possible.

When should ALKA check in with you each week?

Each Friday, ALKA will ask about your cravings and what's working so next week's plan can evolve with you. Pick a time that fits your rhythm.

3-5pm your time

Friday evening
