Gila is a GLP-1 persistence companion app that uses behavioral science — including CBT, NLP, and pharmacokinetic modeling — to help you build lasting habits, manage food noise, and stay on track with your GLP-1 medication journey.

Why do most people stop taking GLP-1 medications?

Persistence drops sharply over time — by the two-year mark, only about one in seven people is still on their GLP-1. Side effects begin the attrition, but the bigger long-term drivers are cost, access barriers, and a lack of behavioral support. Gila addresses the support gap with habit stacking, identity transformation tools, and a companion-first approach for the months and years when motivation fades.

What is food noise and how does Gila help?

Food noise is the constant mental chatter about food — cravings, meal planning anxiety, and intrusive thoughts about eating. GLP-1 medications reduce food noise for many users. Gila tracks your food noise levels over time, helps you understand patterns, and provides coping strategies for when it returns.

How is Gila different from other GLP-1 tracker apps?

Most GLP-1 apps are trackers — they record what happened. Gila is a persistence companion that helps you build lasting habits, transform your identity, and understand your medication through pharmacokinetic modeling. Gila focuses on months 4-12 when motivation fades and most people quit.

Which GLP-1 medications does Gila support?

Gila supports all major GLP-1 medications including Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy (semaglutide), Mounjaro (tirzepatide), Zepbound (tirzepatide), Saxenda (liraglutide), and Victoza (liraglutide). The app includes medication-specific features like pen click calculators and titration schedules.

Gila is currently in pilot phase. Every pilot member gets 1 year of Gila free, starting when Gila launches publicly on the App Store. The pilot is capped at 200 members so the team can genuinely listen to every tester.

Your GLP-1 journey deserves a companion — not just a counter.

The weight is changing. Your relationship with food is changing. You're changing. Gila helps you understand what's happening — in your body, your habits, and your identity — so this transformation actually lasts.

Limited spots — the earlier you join, the more you get.

Claim Your Spot See what we're building

Gila, the friendly companion, rests an elbow on the edge of the phone and smiles up at you.

Most people don't stop in year one —they stop in year two.

By the two-year mark, only about one in seven people is still on their GLP-1.

Not because they lack discipline. Because the journey is harder than anyone prepared them for.

Side effects that make you wonder if this is even worth it. A changing relationship with food that feels disorienting. The quiet isolation of a transformation only you can see.

Most tools track what you eat. Very few understand what you feel.

Built for what people actually feel

These aren't hypotheticals. They're from real conversations in GLP-1 communities — and exactly why Gila exists.

My tracker just tells me I took my shot.

Gila tells you what that shot is doing in your body — and how your habits are changing because of it.

I lost weight but I don't feel like myself.

Identity shifts are the hidden part of this journey. Gila's Identity Architect helps you see who you're becoming.

Four layers of support. One companion.

Every part of Gila is designed to help you persist — not just track.

Persistence

Habit stacks, streaks, and coaching that adapts to your rhythm — not the other way around.

Identity

Food Noise scoring, behavioral persona typing, and an Identity Architect that helps you see who you're becoming — not just what you weigh.

Body Intelligence

Food Noise scoring, medication modeling, and a narrative journal that connects body signals to lived experience.

Companionship

You shouldn't have to figure this out alone. Every week, fresh articles, podcasts, and real stories from people on the same path — so you can learn from their journey while building yours.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Each feature was designed for the specific challenges of life on a GLP-1.

Home screen — Habit Pulse, streaks, XP, daily habits

Your Daily Command Center

Everything starts here. Your Habit Pulse shows today's habits with streaks and XP. Listen to the latest GLP-1 podcast episode. Explore curated articles. And when you're ready to log, one tap opens the quick-log overlay — food, dose, hydration, mood, activity, and body signals.

Methodology

Reframe how you see food, your body, and setbacks — so old thought loops lose their grip.

Neuro-Linguistic Techniques

NLP

Every interaction is designed to quiet food noise and anchor your new identity.

The pilot

Join the pilot — your first year is on us

We're opening Gila to a small founding group before it reaches the App Store. Members use everything free while we finish building — and get their first year free once it launches.

Founded by a professor of general surgery specialized in obesity and metabolic surgery, and an ICF-certified behavioral coach.

Free while we build

Full access from the day you join — nothing locked, nothing to pay. Your feedback decides what we build next.

A full year free at launch

The day Gila goes live on the App Store, the pilot ends and your 12 months free begin. The clock starts at launch, not at signup — time in the pilot never counts against your year.

A group we can listen to

The pilot is capped at 200 founding members — that's how many we can genuinely hear from. When it's full, signups close.

Join the pilot

Free to join — no card, no commitment.

Ready to walk with us?

Your companion is waiting. A few details and your spot is saved.

Gila stands on the top edge of the form, one hand raised in a warm welcome.
