Who's behind this, and what it is (and isn't)
Effective date: November 9, 2026
Who Mike is
MikeFoodCoach was created by Mike Jarrett — a real person, not a brand character. Mike is a software and technology entrepreneur in his sixties. He is not a doctor, dietitian, nutritionist, or licensed health professional of any kind, and nothing in this program comes with those credentials.
What he has instead is the experience this program is built from: a lifetime of weight challenges. Like many, Mike has struggled with a healthy body weight for much of his adult life. He had a stroke (thankfully very small) at the age of 68 which provided him the motivation to change his life and develop this program. He has worked in data management for medical research for many years, and the tools provided with this program are informed by his experience in what causes individuals to make lasting change in their lives. We are all finding our way, and the intent of this program is to help you discover a process that works best for your life and your goals.
The program teaches the approach that worked for him, organized so you can apply it to your own life at your own pace.
Who it's for
Adults — you must be 18 or older. It was designed around midlife: the people most likely to find it useful are in their 30s through 70s, dealing with the slow weight gain of real adult life. Mike built it, candidly, for people like himself. If you're younger and it speaks to you, it works the same way.
What the program is
- Coaching, structure, and education built on one person's lived experience and widely accepted, common-sense nutrition principles.
- A system that pays attention: your check-ins, your weight trend, your own stated goals — reflected back to you with encouragement and practical next steps.
- An AI coach, openly: the day-to-day coaching voice is an AI that Mike built, trained on his approach, and actively supervises. It will tell you so itself.
What the program is not
- Not medical care. No diagnosis, no treatment, no medical advice, no supervision of any health condition.
- Not a substitute for professionals. Before making meaningful changes to how you eat or move — and especially if you have any health condition, take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or have a history of disordered eating — talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian. "Check with your doctor first" is not fine print here; it's the actual recommendation.
- Not a guarantee. Mike's results are Mike's. Yours will be yours. We make no promises about what you will weigh, and we are suspicious of anyone who does.
- Not for emergencies. The coach cannot help in a crisis. If you are in medical distress, call your doctor or emergency services. If you are struggling with your relationship with food in a way that frightens you, please bring that to a qualified professional — and the coach will tell you the same.
