Show HN: Be Golden (YC S22) – Measure and manage your inflammation levelsHi HN! This is Sneh and Kimberly from Be Golden (https://www.begolden.online/). Be Golden helps you understand how your lifestyle impacts your health, particularly in terms of inflammation levels. I (Sneh) am a PharmD and the CEO; Kimberly has a PhD in biology and is the CTO.We all make lifestyle choices daily - what we eat, how much we exercise, etc. No matter how good we are, we are all probably trying to get better but we don't have a great feedback mechanism on how our choices impact our health. We may go to the doctor once a year (if that) to get some blood work done but so much happens in between that it's hard to tell what made an impact. We wanted to change that so that you are better understanding how your lifestyle is impacting your health to help you make better decisions.Be Golden focuses on helping you measure and manage inflammation levels because inflammation is impacted by all key lifestyle behaviors (nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress) [1] and impacts a variety of heal
