You got a number.
Take a breath.
Hey Val is a photo-based saturated fat tracker for the moment after your doctor said "let's recheck in three months." No calorie counting. No carnivore. No optimization. Just a quiet, honest record of what you ate.
Hey Val is a wellness app — not a medical device. Always consult your doctor.
Built for the calm middle, not the loud edges.
Most cholesterol content is shouting. The clinical voice tells you to take the pill and stop asking questions. The wellness-bro voice tells you to eat steak and butter and that your doctor is wrong. Both are tribes you didn't sign up for.
Hey Val sits in the middle. We track saturated fat — the dietary lever with the most consistent effect on LDL — and we leave the rest to you and your doctor. No miracle claims. No pill-shaming. No optimization theater. Just food and a number, made easier to see.
Three quiet features. Nothing extra.
Snap a meal.
Photograph your plate. The app estimates the saturated fat without making you search a database or count calories. Imperfect on purpose — the trend is the answer.
See your day.
One number against the AHA's recommended daily target. No streaks. No shame. No green-yellow-red that makes a slice of birthday cake feel like a moral failure.
Watch the trend.
Your average over weeks, ready for your next doctor's visit. The pattern is what your bloodwork actually reflects — not Tuesday's lunch.
"You got a number. It's not a sentence. It's information."
— Hey Val, every conversation
If you're scared, scared isn't useful. Aware is. We lead with breath, not urgency.
Saturated fat is the lever that moves LDL. Track that. Skip the rest.
Editorial serif over corporate sans. Cream over white. The opposite of a hospital portal.
Estimates are estimates. We say so. We don't pretend a photo can replace your doctor.
