How Did Lola Priego Come Up With The Idea for Base?
- Her own personal health journey led her to the inception of this app.
- When dealing with severe brain fog and fatigue, she decided to try the Keto diet.
- While Keto helped her brain fog and fatigue for a short period of time, she ended up feeling worse after months of this diet.
- In order to gain a better understanding of her health, she sought out a doctor to do some testing.
- The lab results suggested that she needed to stop the Keto diet and intake more Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.
- The results from her lab gave her exact information that she could use to take actionable steps to improve her health.
- This is something she wants to make easily accessible for everyone.
Is This Kind of Data Collection Really for Me?
- This is something only you can decide for yourself, but you have to ask yourself if you are ready to make changes based on the kind of data you receive.
- This data can give you hope that there is a solution for how you’re feeling, especially if you are someone who feels “off” regularly, but can’t quite pinpoint why you feel this way.
