The KaiVitae Story

My daughter was young and healthy—or so we thought. Then one day, standing on the sidelines of a soccer field, she asked me to feel her belly. It was rock hard, like she was pregnant. She wasn’t. Two years of turmoil followed. The diagnosis? MASH—Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis—also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. A silent killer affecting 18 million Americans, often discovered too late. She needed a liver transplant to survive.

​

While she fought for her life, I researched. What I found was infuriating: MASH, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension—many of the chronic diseases around us—stem from the same cause: poor nutrition and excess calories. Yet, our healthcare system treats only the symptoms, not the disease. Doctors are given 10 minutes and only get paid to order tests and procedures and to prescribe drugs, not solutions. They didn’t have any tools to give her to help herself.

Enough. I'm an entrepreneur, and I refuse to accept this broken system. So, I tapped a group of expert technologists I had worked with on previous projects, and we built the first of a series of solutions. KaiVitae—FoodKey for Type 2 Diabetics. A psychology and science-backed, Al-driven tool to reverse metabolic disease, inspired by proven research but accessible to the millions who need it most. Inexpensive, simple, and useful for your whole life.

The future of healthcare isn’t another prescription. It's reclaiming health—starting now.
