Dashboard: Symptom-Nutrient Correlations

Symptom-Nutrient Correlations

Nutrient Insight That Goes Beyond Tracking

The Symptom-Nutrient Correlations section of your Dashboard helps you uncover whether nutrient imbalances may be contributing to your symptoms. When you log a symptom, TCT instantly checks it against known nutrient correlations—based on research from sources like the NIH—and then compares those findings to your actual food intake over the past 7 days.

For example, if headaches are logged, TCT might detect that low Vitamin B5 or excess Zinc could be potential causes. If your 7-day nutrient average shows an imbalance in either, that nutrient will highlight the findings—giving you a clear direction for dietary adjustment.

Visual Cues Make It Easy to Interpret

Each symptom box on your Dashboard is color-coded to quickly show you what’s going on:

- Orange-shaded nutrients = Your intake is outside the USDA's "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025" recommended range (too low or too high)

- Green-shaded nutrients = You’re within the optimal range for all known nutrient associations tied to that symptom

This helps you spot nutritional red flags at a glance—without digging through charts or logs.

Limited to the "common" system list

You’ll only see the results for "common" symptoms selected from our symptom library, as those are supported by validated scientific data. Custom symptoms are still valuable for food correlation analysis, but they won’t appear here due to the absence of known nutrient associations.

Dive Deeper for a Full Nutrient Breakdown

Want to go beyond the 7-day snapshot? Tap the arrow inside any symptom box to open the Symptom-Nutrient Correlation page. There, you can:

- Adjust the analysis period

- View detailed consumption trends for each nutrient

- Explore trusted reference material explaining each nutrient’s role

- Get a list of foods rich in those nutrients to help correct imbalances

It’s the perfect tool for users who want to not only spot patterns but act on them with informed, meaningful changes.

Accurate Logging = Accurate Insights

The accuracy of your nutrient analysis depends on your logging habits. Since the Dashboard uses a rolling 7-day average, it’s important to consistently log your meals—especially when symptoms appear. For a closer look at daily intake, head to the “Your Nutrients” section of the Dashboard. There, you’ll see real-time values for all nutrients logged each day.
