Your doctor handed you a diet.
Your grocery store handed you a bill.
We handed you the week.
It's 5pm. Someone in your house needs the inflammation-friendly meals. Everyone needs feeding. The bill keeps climbing. The USDA says $231 a week for a family of four. A sample Hestia week can estimate much lower when pantry, leftovers, and portions all line up. You bring the diet. We do the math.

Actual savings depend on your starting spend, pantry, and adherence.
Anti-inflammatory. Sized for your family.
Honest note: early weeks can cost more while the pantry fills. Savings are estimates until receipt-verified. Baseline: USDA Thrifty Food Plan, family of two adults and two children.
What we actually do
You bring the diet.
We do the math.
Most planners hand you a recipe. We hand you the plate. A main and a side at every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Twenty-one meals across the week, snacks included, every portion sized to who's actually at the table that night.
Inside that plate we hold the line on the diet you brought us. Anti-inflammatory. Autoimmune protocol, with staged reintroduction so foods come back when your body is ready. Gluten-free. Dairy-free. Tree nut, peanut, egg, soy, fish, shellfish. Sodium ceilings. Protein targets. Calorie targets.
Sunday's roast yields eight servings, four of you eat, Tuesday's lunch slot already knows. Leftovers and pantry carry from week to week. Nothing wilts in the back of the fridge because nothing was bought without a job.
We don't tell you what's healthy. We make healthy possible.
The diet on your fridge
We built the planner around the list you were already trying to follow.
Real protocols, stage-aware, combinable. Every recipe scored against your week's goals so you can see why it was picked.
Anti-inflammatory
Omega-3 lifted, seed oils out, polyphenols up, processed sugar down. Scored per recipe, totaled per week.
Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)
Full elimination, then staged reintroduction. The plan moves with the protocol, not against it.
Gluten-free, dairy-free
Substituted at the recipe level, not just filtered. The plan stays balanced when half a category disappears.
Allergens out
Tree nut, peanut, egg, soy, fish, shellfish. Flag any combination. Nothing in the week, ever.
Sodium controlled
DASH ranges, kidney-aware ceilings, blood-pressure targets. Hard cap per day, not a hopeful average.
Protein targets
Older adults losing muscle. Post-partum recovery. Athlete training loads. Set the number, the plan hits it.
Every recipe scored
The same lunch. Two different bodies.
One version fights inflammation. One version feeds it. Same lunchbox, same kid, about forty cents a serving apart.
Hestia scores every recipe against your week's goals so you can see what went into the pick. Health grade, sodium, protein, inflammation, every ingredient traceable. No black box.
Same dish. Scored two ways.
Store-brand tuna + regular mayo
Higher sodium, inflammatory seed oils, lower omega-3
↓
Wild-caught tuna + avocado oil mayo
Anti-inflammatory, higher omega-3, within $0.40 a serving
You don't need another app telling you what to eat.
You need someone to take the week off your shoulders, hold the diet your family was handed, and bring the grocery bill back down to something a person can carry.
