Summary

This study explores whether adapting daily diet and lifestyle messages to a person's personality, daily energy, and barriers improves adherence compared to a standard one-size-fits-all approach. Twenty adults aged 18-45 will receive both types of messages over six weeks and report their progress. The goal is to see if this personalised, just-in-time support boosts engagement with a nutrition programme.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Psychology-tailored message
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective way to help people stick with personalised nutrition plans using daily behavioural prompts.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 20 people. It tests a concept, not a treatment, and may not lead to any practical tool.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants must: 1. Be 18-45 years old. 2. Have a BMI between 18.5 and 40 kg/m² (normal weight to obesity categories). 3. Own a smartphone with WhatsApp installed. 4. Be willing to receive daily messages for 6 weeks. 5. Be able to provide informed consent. 6. Be willing to provide a cheek swab for DNA analysis. 7. Have sufficient English proficiency to understand daily written instructions. Given that the programme focuses on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine (nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, social connection, and alcohol/substance moderation), participants must be able to safely engage with light lifestyle recommendations. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants will be excluded if they: 1. Have a diagnosed eating disorder or significant disordered eating symptoms. 2. Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. 3. Have any medical condition requiring medically supervised dietary modification (e.g., diabetes requiring medication, kidney disease, coeliac disease). 4. Are currently taking medication that significantly affects appetite, weight, or metabolism (e.g., GLP-1 agonists). 5. Work night shifts 6. Have severe mental health conditions (e.g., moderate-severe depression, psychosis). 7. Are participating in another behaviour-change or weight-related study. 8. Are unwilling to receive WhatsApp messages 9. Are unwilling to receive genetic information This will be checked with PARQ questionnaire Focus group participants: All 14 study participants will be invited to participate in the optional post-intervention focus group. As the focus group is limited to a maximum of 8 participants, if more than 8 express interest, selection will be made to ensure diversity across gender, age, engagement during the intervention and personality profile to maximise the richness of discussion. Participants who are not selected or who decline will not be disadvantaged in any way and their study data will be retained and analysed as normal.
