Hey Product Hunt! šš» Thank you so much to the amazing @katmanalac for hunting us! ā¤ļø
Weāre James, Felipe, and Bernard, founders of Mighty Health (www.mightyhealth.com/gift), a personal coach that helps people over 50 become healthier through exercise, nutrition, and wellness.
** Why we built this:
On this Fatherās Day, we thought some of you might be in the same position as we are, worrying about our parents and loved ones, wanting to do more to help out in these challenging times.
A few years ago, my dad was rushed to the hospital for emergency heart surgery. Though he luckily survived, this was quite the wakeup callāhe had to change his lifestyle habits immediately, or else heād have to deal with painful, worsening chronic issues for the rest of his life.
These changesāexercise, nutrition, sleep, and reducing stressāare hard as is, but even more so for folks over 50. Most wellness apps are designed for motivated millennials, making them feel less relatable to older adults. They donāt take into account evolving health needs, joint issues, or technical limitations. And because our older loved ones are at higher risk of COVID complications due to their age, they wonāt be able to return to gyms for the foreseeable future.
Thatās why we started Mighty Health.
** How Mighty Health works:
Everything is designed intentionally for people over 50:
šš»āā Coaching: A personal coach keeping them motivated through SMS, providing a real human relationship
šŖš¼ Exercise: At home workout videos that are easy on the joints, led by top-rated certified trainers
š„ Nutrition: A personalized plan and grocery list designed by cardiologists for heart health
šØ Reminders: Preventative health checkup notifications (based on their age and gender) and medication reminders
š Celebrations: Texts to family members about milestones in the program so you can celebrate together
Our app is simple to set up and use, accommodating large and high contrast text. We chose SMS for coaching because itās a more familiar medium, like texting with your family.
Dr. Bernard Chang, our medical co-founder, is the Vice Chair of Research at Columbia Universityās Department of Emergency Medicine and leads our team of physicians, trainers, and coaches who develop our plans and content.
These plans are optimized for health goals specific to people over 50, such as losing weight to prevent chronic diseases, becoming stronger/decreasing joint pain, or reducing their risk of heart disease. On average, 85% of our users stick to our plans for at least 12 weeks and lose ~10 pounds.
Here's a note from one of our members, Elizabeth: "Mighty Health has empowered me to meet goals that I never thought Iād meet. I not only met my weight goal, but I lowered my cholesterol by 50 points and my triglycerides by 90. Iām stronger than I have been in a decade."

@abnerpnt Thanks Abner! That's what we hope... people generally don't take preventative health seriously enough and unfortunately wait for something to happen before taking real action.
Very proud of the team behind this app and all the effort that they have put in for this launch. It's great to see the elderly being the central focus of the company's mission as we wish all of our older loved ones to be in great health and live prosperously!
