Download the Scanner

• The barcode scanner pulls food product information from a database with hundreds of thousands of food products. While this makes scanning quick and easy, the product’s label is still determined by evaluating each individual ingredient in the product.

• The ingredient list scanner is an alternative option for food products that may not yet be in our database. Instead of pulling product data, it reads the food product's ingredient list you scan and determines the product’s label based solely on those ingredients.

At this time, the app does not store a history of previously scanned products. If you’d like to reference a product later, we recommend taking a screenshot when you scan it.

Alternative options are recommended only when using the barcode scanner and will appear on applicable food products. Selecting an alternative option will link you to Dr. Livingood’s Amazon page for purchase.

Challenge Approved
In simple terms, this applies before your health goals are met. When you join a Challenge, you’re encouraged to set a goal based on how you’d like to build your health. Until that goal is achieved, we recommend following the Challenge Approved guidelines and meal plan to stay focused and motivated.

Lifestyle Approved
This applies after your goals are met. As you complete Challenges and transition into the Livingood Lifestyle, you’ll begin focusing on the Lifestyle Approved food list, which allows for a bit more flexibility while still supporting long-term, sustainable health.

Livingood Approved starts by evaluating ingredient quality. Each food product is analyzed ingredient by ingredient and then given one of the following recommendations: Challenge Approved, Lifestyle Approved, Not Approved, or Inconclusive.

Based on this analysis, we provide an unbiased, doctor-backed recommendation focused on real foods and ingredients that support health and avoid potential harm.
