How we report — and what we won't do

Gila is a coaching and behavioral-science publisher. We write about habits, identity, food noise, and the GLP-1 news that affects your journey. We do not give medical advice, and nothing we publish is a substitute for your prescriber.

When a topic is clinical — dosing, interactions, side-effect management — we report what the research and regulators actually said, link the primary source, and send you back to your care team. We will not tell you what to do with your medication.

Every clinical claim is traceable. Our standard:

• Primary sources first — NEJM, JAMA, The Lancet, FDA labels, and peer-reviewed journals, linked inline so you can check them yourself.
• Community and anecdote are labeled as such. When we reference Reddit or a personal story, we say so — we never dress experience up as evidence.
• No invented numbers. We do not fabricate statistics, studies, quotes, or sources. If we cannot source a figure, we do not publish it.
• Dates are honest. Articles show when they were published and last reviewed, and we update them when the science moves.

Our authority is behavioral: coaching, habit formation, and the lived reality of a GLP-1 household. Our editor-in-chief is an ICF-certified coach, and our hosts translate research and report news. This is the right expertise for the behavioral and identity work at Gila's core.

We are not a medical provider, and we don't pretend to be one. For anything about your own health, dose, or symptoms, your prescriber or pharmacist is the expert — not us.

Every article, newsletter, and podcast on gila.coach is published under a named editor-in-chief and publisher of record: Sezen Soykut, ICF ACC. She sets the editorial posture and signs off on clinical-adjacent articles before they ship.
