Zipongo

By Jason Langheier, MD, MPH/CEO and Founder of Zipongo

Healthy, balanced living isn’t always easy, especially when you have your hands full taking care of little pickles (the kid type, not the salty cucumbers). At Zipongo, our mission is to Empower Fun, Healthy Living that is Convenient, Affordable and Enjoyed with friends. Our job is to help you enjoy the daily pleasures of life--Food, Sports & Exercise, Sleep, Activities with your kids--while also staying balanced, so you can keep enjoying them.

Healthy Deals

What if there was a way to save 50% or more of what you normally spend on some of your family’s favorite healthy, eco-friendly types of foods? Zipongo helps you explore the coolest, tastiest and balanced natural foods with Healthy Deals, coming out this June at Andronico’s Community Markets across the Bay Area. We include reviews about the food that highlight why it’s unique – including nutritional attributes and background on the business that makes it – so that you can learn about new products that are good for you and for your little pickles. To get the scoop when the first wave of deals are released, subscribe now.

Nutrient Badges

Healthy living isn’t just about calories – it’s about balance. With that in mind, we designed a unique feature in our food journal: nutrient badges that show how well you balance your eating. When you eat plenty of a good nutrient, the Life Power tab moves to the “Good Job!” column to show you that your efforts are paying off. “Stay Balanced” nutrients tell you when you get too much or too little of a key nutrient. You can also keep tabs on “Watch Out…” nutrients like Sodium, and see which foods most caused the spike in their intake.



You can also share your success on goals like getting more sleep with Zeo or losing weight with Withing’s Scale, when you access them via Zipongo. This lets you see the relationship between your food, exercise, and health outcomes using the LifeMap.  Eating too late at night?  Not exercising long enough?  Maybe your sleep would improve if you could be intentional about a change.
