About Gala Health and These Guides

Gala Health publishes short, sourced guides on weight loss online, the GLP-1 hormone, food, activity and everyday habits, written for adults in the United States.

What we publish

The site has nine guides on three shelves: Online Weight Loss & GLP-1, Weight Management and Health & Wellness. Each guide answers one question and opens with a short summary box.

How a guide is written

1. We start from public sources. Pages from NIDDK, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the Federal Trade Commission, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025–2030, and one review article in the journal Molecular Metabolism (2019).
2. We keep to what they say. Each point in a guide traces back to one of those pages. When we work out a number ourselves, such as converting a percentage into kilograms, the guide says so.
3. We show our sources. Every guide ends with links to the pages used and the date we read them.

What you will not find here

• Names, comparisons or prices of any product or program.
• Affiliate links.
• Personal advice. The guides are general information, and they are not a substitute for talking with a licensed professional who knows your history.

Corrections

If you think a guide gets something wrong, or a source has changed since we read it, write to contact@joingalahealth.online with the page and the passage. We will look at the source you point to.
