The medication quiets the noise. Gila helps with what comes next: the habits, the doubt, and who you’re becoming.
Starting a GLP-1 is often the clearer part. What comes after gets less attention: the third month, when the first changes settle, and the sixth, when progress slows and doubt creeps in. Then there is the long work of changing your relationship with food. Clinical guidance covers the dose and tracking apps record the numbers, so you’re mostly left to handle the rest on your own.
Persistence drops over time: by the two-year mark, only about one in seven people is still on their GLP-1. Cost, side effects and access all play a part. Gila was built for that stretch: a daily companion grounded in coaching and behavior science.
Gila draws on four approaches and brings them together in one daily companion:
Reframe thought patterns around food, body image and identity instead of only logging them. Gila helps you recognize and reshape the mental patterns that drive behavior.
The words you use about yourself shape the identity you build. Gila’s Identity Architect draws on NLP ideas to help you describe the person you’re becoming, and practice being them day by day.
Habits designed for the real life of someone on GLP-1 medication. The Habit Lab builds routines you can keep up through side effects, plateaus, and busy weeks.
Gila lines up your doses with how you feel (food noise, side effects, energy), so you can see your own patterns and talk them through with your prescriber.
