Founder note Why I do this.
At 25, after an occupational-health appointment, I was diagnosed with type 2
diabetes. Dangerous levels. Risky if not addressed quickly. Ten years of barely
moving, rich and unbalanced eating β the bill landed, full in the face.
I wanted to take myself back, for me and for my health. I started with
food: balanced recipes adapted to my condition, composed with an assistant
I was hacking together on the side. For three months I followed it to the
letter. I discovered foods I'd never have eaten otherwise, new tastes. Always pleasure, but right-sized, and adapted.
Then I picked sport back up. Same method. Five months after the diagnosis,
my blood work was back in the green β with my treatment, yes, but also
thanks to that assistant I'd built for myself. And I realised one thing:
what I'd built to save myself, millions of people across Europe could use. That's where Shape Me Up was born. Whether you're
diabetic, intolerant, celiac, parent of a child with special diet β or
simply someone who wants to eat better and move more, without spending
their evenings on it.
SMU is that. The assistant I wish I'd found at 25 β
for those with constraints, and for those who just want to live better.
