Who we are:

Bea Better Eating is on a mission to disrupt the weight loss industry with a better approach to healthy eating. Created by co-founders Dr. Sera Lavelle, Ph.D, (Clinical Psychologist/CEO) who owns New York’s top integrative therapy practice, and Ruby Manadero (Product Designer/CPO) who went through TechStars as a founding member at CrowdTwist recently acquired by Oracle, we have what it takes to challenge weight loss apps like Noom and Weight Watchers with our approach that is both holistic and evidence-based. Our app uses chatbot technology to implement mindfulness-based psychological principles that systematically change the way people think about food. We are currently developing the beta product (pre-funding) with an anticipated launch early this year.
