Diet and exercise being by far the most important and lowest hanging fruit here is definitely true. But even so, what percentage of people do you think even have a rough idea of what an optimal diet+exercise routine would look like for themselves? Different fad diets have come in and out of fashion over the decades, and while some have had quite a bit of interesting research backing them, not all have.

Motivation is a difficult part, but I think we can help people out a lot by making accurate, personalized, and easily actionable information much more accessible to them.

> easily actionable

up to interpretation what easily means. We can definitely make things simple (easy to comprehend for uneducated and/or lower iq). But "easy" seems to be expressed by compliance and that seems to be the trick.

it's simple to not eat (ie fast) one day a week. it's simple to lace up your shoes and go for 30 minutes run. Yet neither of those are "easy" to get someone to do

There are metrics for weight at least for men that I’ve seen a common one is 2x body weight deadlift or squat. Find me a random person lifting that and I’ll show you a generally fit individual.
