It's not by chance
Every number you see in the app is based on precise scientific grounds. Here is how, pillar by pillar.
First, an important clarification
Elev-Aura's artificial intelligence guides you, answers you, and generates content (recipes, conversations with your coach). But the NUMBERS (your target calories, your training loads, your volumes) never come from an AI 'inventing' things. They are calculated by established scientific formulas, the very same ones used by nutritionists and physical trainers.
🥗 Nutrition
Your caloric needs
Calculated via the Mifflin-St Jeor equation, considered the most accurate reference for estimating basal metabolic rate, combined with a standard physical activity factor.
Your macronutrients
Protein intake is adjusted according to your goal (g/kg of body weight), with a safety ceiling to protect your kidneys, and a minimum of lipids to preserve hormonal balance. These are benchmarks derived from sports nutrition science, not arbitrary numbers.
The calories in your recipes
Every ingredient in our recipes is calibrated for calories via Atwater factors (4 kcal/g for proteins and carbs, 9 kcal/g for fats), which is the global reference method for nutritional labeling. Your recipes then precisely sum these values based on the actual amounts in each portion.
🏋️ Sport
Your load progression
Based on RIR (Repetitions In Reserve), a recognized auto-regulation method in strength training: the easier a set feels, the more we increase; as you approach failure, we delay or reduce the load.
Your training volume
The increase in weekly volume follows classic progression recommendations in physical preparation, to limit the risk of overload injuries.
🌙 Cycle
The four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, luteal) bring hormonal variations well documented by research: affecting energy, metabolism, and recovery. Your sport and nutrition recommendations take this into account, carefully and prudently.
🧠 Mindset
The suggested breathing techniques (cardiac coherence, 4-7-8 breathing, box breathing) are recognized methods widely studied for their effect on the nervous system. Nothing is made up, everything is carefully selected.
🌿 Lifestyle
Your sleep score relies on optimal duration benchmarks (7 to 9 hours) widely recommended by sleep research, while also taking the consistency of your schedule into account.
And the true intelligence of Elev-Aura?
It lies in how your coach combines ALL these signals together, every single day, to adapt specifically to you: your cycle, your sleep, your fatigue, your progress. We keep this part to ourselves: it's what makes the difference.
