Ellie

Overview

Ellie is a mobile health application designed for individuals transitioning off GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro. It addresses the underserved phase after active weight loss by providing a structured, week-by-week maintenance plan based on clinical extension studies and real-world discontinuation data. The app enables users to define a personal weight ceiling, tracks seven-day trends, and triggers early interventions at roughly 4 lbs of drift. Targeting anyone tapering, stretching doses, or fully discontinuing, Ellie combines daily logging, protein and strength goals, and a panic button for food cravings into a single companion tool.

Key Features

• The After Plan: A dynamic timeline from last dose or current taper that anticipates water-weight jumps, appetite peaks, and high-risk regain windows. The plan adjusts automatically based on whether the user is still on medication, microdosing, or completely off.
• Food Noise SOS: A ten-minute guided protocol addressing acute cravings or binge urges. Includes a decision tree and a long-term trend chart showing noise reduction over eight weeks.
• Personal Weight Line: Users establish a hard limit; Ellie calculates the seven-day moving average and flags drift early. Alerts are phrased non-punitive, encouraging tightening rather than restarting.
• Protein and Strength Floor: Daily protein targets based on goal weight and simple 20-minute home strength workouts to preserve muscle mass. No mandatory cardio.
• Prescriber Export: One-page PDF-like summary containing the user’s exact medication schedule, weight trends, and adopted plan, designed to enhance collaborative clinician discussions.
• Free Tools and Guides: Five calculators (washout, microdosing, taper schedule, maintenance calories, protein) and 26 evidence-graded guides on topics like stopping Ozempic, food noise science, and rebound weight.

Use Cases

The app is suitable for patients who have completed a GLP-1 treatment cycle and want to sustain their results. It is also useful for those experiencing side effects or financial constraints that necessitate dose reduction. Healthcare providers can use the export feature to monitor patient adherence and tailor clinical decisions. Dietitians and health coaches integrating GLP-1 support into their practice can leverage Ellie as a patient-facing accountability mechanism. The free tools section serves as an educational resource for individuals investigating GLP-1 discontinuation before committing to the app.
