Steady is not a doctor. Steady is not a medical device. Steady does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Read this page before you rely on anything Steady shows you.
1. What Steady is
Steady is an educational and tracking tool for women using GLP-1 medications, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and similar. It helps you:
- Log doses, food, protein, weight, symptoms, and cycle
- See patterns over time
- Ask an AI coach questions grounded in your logs
That's it. The coach is a language model, not a clinician. The articles are educational, not prescriptive. The charts are data you recorded, nothing more.
2. Steady is not a substitute for your prescriber
Your prescribing doctor, pharmacist, or licensed healthcare provider is your source of truth for:
- Dosing: when to start, when to uptitrate, when to hold, when to stop
- Side effects: what's expected, what's not, what requires treatment
- Medication interactions: anything else you take, any new prescription
- Labs and monitoring: kidney, thyroid, pancreas, blood sugar
- Weight-loss expectations: what's realistic for your body and dose
- Long-term planning: maintenance, tapering, switching medications
Never adjust your dose, skip a dose, or stop your medication because of something Steady showed you or the coach said. Always talk to your prescriber first.
3. The AI coach has limits
The coach is powered by a large language model (currently OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini class). It is trained on a broad corpus and grounded in the context you give it. That means:
- It can be wrong, especially about specifics (dose equivalents, drug interactions, rare side effects)
- It can be out of date, because its training has a cutoff
- It is not a clinician and cannot examine you, order tests, or prescribe
Treat the coach the way you'd treat an informed friend who reads medical research, useful for framing your next doctor visit, not a replacement for it. Always verify dose-related or side-effect-related answers with your prescriber or pharmacist.
4. Call your doctor, or emergency services, if you experience
Any of these can be serious. Do not wait and do not check the app first.
- Severe abdominal pain, especially pain that radiates to your back, can indicate pancreatitis
- Vomiting that won't stop, or signs of dehydration (dizziness, very dark urine, fainting)
- Severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; hives; rapid pulse
- Signs of gallbladder trouble: severe right-upper-abdominal pain, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes
- Symptoms of low blood sugar if you take insulin or a sulfonylurea alongside your GLP-1, sweating, shaking, confusion
- Suicidal thoughts or sudden changes in mood
- Vision changes: sudden blurriness, dark spots
- Persistent fever, severe headache, or anything that feels wrong
In the US, call 911. In the UK, 999. In the EU, 112. Anywhere else, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency room.
5. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
GLP-1 receptor agonists are not approved for use during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown potential risks, and human data is limited.
- If you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, or are trying to conceive, contact your prescriber immediately, the standard recommendation is to stop GLP-1 therapy and, in most cases, discontinue for at least two months before attempting conception.
- If you are breastfeeding, talk to your prescriber before continuing.
- GLP-1 medications may reduce the effectiveness of some oral contraceptives (particularly tirzepatide). If you are using oral birth control, ask your prescriber whether you should add a barrier method.
Steady is not the place to make these decisions. Your prescriber is.
6. Pre-existing conditions
If you have a history of the following, your prescriber has almost certainly already weighed the risks, but they matter enough that we list them:
- Medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN-2 (contraindicated)
- Pancreatitis
- Gastroparesis or severe GI motility disorders
- Eating disorders
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Gallbladder disease
- Severe kidney or liver impairment
Keep your prescriber informed if symptoms change.
7. Content on the website and in the app
Articles in our research hub, summaries in the coach, and copy on this website are for education. They are not personal medical advice. Citations point to peer-reviewed research where available, but medical understanding evolves, what's accurate today may be updated tomorrow.
Nothing on this site establishes a doctor-patient relationship between you and the developer.
8. Your responsibility
By using Steady you agree that:
- You have consulted, or will consult, a licensed healthcare professional for medical decisions
- You will not rely solely on Steady or the AI coach to manage your medication, symptoms, or health
- You will seek emergency care when the situation calls for it: not ask the coach
9. If something goes wrong
If you experience a serious side effect from your medication, report it to your prescriber and to the relevant authority:
- US: FDA MedWatch: fda.gov/medwatch
- UK: Yellow Card Scheme: yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk
- EU: your national pharmacovigilance authority
