KAN (Know About Nutrition)

Know About Nutrition (KAN) specialize in the creation and delivery of nutrition education. The iKAN app is based on the KAN principles - researched and developed over many years by nutrition therapist, and founder of KAN, Maria Ashe OBrien.

The KAN principles focus on how a correct diet benefits energy, performance and health - providing information and guidance that encourages personal responsibility for health. This includes information on the impact of good and bad fats, sugar, hydration, acidity/alkalinity and supplementation - among many other crucial aspects of nutrition and wellbeing.

iKAN is an exciting new app for women that merges the KAN principles with a health evaluation tool that examines the diet and lifestyle of the user and encourages a positive lifestyle shift.

When you download this free app you have access to the following:

1.WOWNOW
2.Principles
3.Co-Factors
4.Health bytes

WOWNOW is a health and lifestyle-based questionnaire with over 130 multi-choice questions divided into 13 sections: DIET, WEIGHT, DISEASE & INFECTION, ENERGY & MOOD, DIGESTION, MUSCLES & JOINTS, HORMONES/REPRODUCTIVE/URINARY, EYES & EARS, NOSE & MOUTH, SKIN, HAIR & NAILS, ENVIRONMENT and GOALS.

When the user submits their WOWNOW the app calculates their ‘WOW’ factor and compiles both a summarized version and a full version of a health status report based on their answers. The full version of the report is available via an ‘in-app’ purchase of €1.99

‘WOW’ stands for Wealth of Wellbeing. The WOW factor is a number between 1 and 100 that is assigned to each user - based on their responses in the WOWNOW section. It’s a numerical representation of the user’s current health and wellbeing.

The summarized version of the health status report is free and is available as soon as the user submits their WOWNOW questionnaire. The full health status report is available to view on the user’s device immediately upon purchase. The full report provides the user with a comprehensive view of where they are at that particular moment in time with regard to their health and wellbeing. It also provides advice about how best they can achieve their goals. The user can re-take their WOWNOW anytime and all of their dated reports are available to view in the Reports section via the main menu.

Absolutely nobody has access to the user’s WOWNOW or their reports – except the user themselves. KAN totally respects user privacy and never shares any personal information – because we do not collect it. All of the information entered into WOWNOW is stored ONLY on the user’s device. The personalized health reports are generated by an algorithm (software program) that downloads as part of the app, and are stored only on the users’ device.

The PRINCIPLES section contains information about the 8 core KAN principles:
