Lose the Fat.Keep the Muscle.Finally.
GLP-1 medications are powerful — but they don't discriminate. Up to 39% of the weight you lose is muscle. Zova is the first app built specifically to stop that.

GLP-1 Is Taking
Your Muscle
With the Fat
Lower Resting Metabolism
Less muscle means fewer calories burned at rest — making weight regain almost inevitable after stopping GLP-1.
The Rebound Trap
Fat returns within 12 months of stopping. Muscle does not. Most users end up fatter and weaker than when they started.
Injection Day Protein Crash
GLP-1 nausea peaks 24–48h post-injection, causing users to skip protein — the #1 driver of muscle loss.
Doctors Don't Track This
Your prescriber monitors weight and A1C. Nobody is monitoring your muscle-to-fat ratio between visits.
Zova Solves All of This
Users following the Zova protocol lost only 8.7% of weight as lean mass — vs. the 25–39% trial average. Two out of three gained muscle while losing fat.
Six Tools. One Mission.
Protect Your Muscle.
Every feature is grounded in peer-reviewed research. Not wellness trends. Not guesswork.
AI Muscle Scanner
Photograph any meal and get an instant AI-powered Muscle Protection Score (0–100) based on protein content, leucine threshold, and meal timing.
Adaptive Protein Targets
Your protein target recalculates against your fat-free mass as you lose weight. Standard apps keep using your starting weight — causing chronic under-fueling.
Injection Day Protocol
Nausea-friendly high-protein meal suggestions and a modified workout plan automatically activate on your shot day — the day most users crash their protein.
Muscle Risk Score
A daily composite score (0–100) combining protein adequacy, training frequency, deficit rate, and injection timing. Your personal muscle health gauge.
GLP-1 Workout Plans
Resistance training plans calibrated for GLP-1 users — prioritizing muscle-preserving compound movements with appropriate volume for reduced caloric intake.
Composition Tracker
Visual before/after muscle composition estimates showing how much lean mass you've protected vs. what the average GLP-1 user loses. Tangible, motivating progress.
Up and Running
in 4 Minutes
No complicated setup. No dietitian required. Just open the app and start protecting your muscle today.

People Who Kept
Their Muscle
Early access users following the Zova protocol. Real people. Real GLP-1 journeys.
"Lost 28 lbs and my DEXA scan showed I kept 94% of my muscle. My doctor was shocked. She said most of her GLP-1 patients lose 3–4x more lean mass."
"I was losing strength fast in the first 3 months. Zova caught that my protein was only hitting 60% on injection days. Fixed that one thing and my strength came back in 6 weeks."
"The injection day protocol is a game changer. I used to feel so sick I'd skip everything. Now I've hit my protein every single shot day for 10 weeks straight."
"The weekly report showed my risk score climbing for 2 weeks before I even noticed I was slipping. Caught it early. That early warning system is worth $50/month alone."
"I've lost 35 lbs. My physical therapist said my muscle-to-fat ratio is better than most people her age who never took GLP-1. I attribute that entirely to the protein targets."
"I was skeptical of another health app. But Zova is different — it's the only one that actually understands what GLP-1 does to your body and builds every feature around that reality."

Peer-Reviewed Research.
Every Zova feature is grounded in published clinical data. Here's what the research actually says.
of total weight lost on semaglutide is lean mass — not fat. This is the baseline every GLP-1 user is fighting against.
lean mass loss achieved by users following the structured protein + resistance training protocol that Zova is built on. 2 out of 3 gained muscle while losing fat.
of normal muscle aging compressed into a single GLP-1 treatment cycle — without intervention. The metabolic consequences persist long after stopping the medication.
leucine per meal is the threshold required to trigger muscle protein synthesis. Below this, protein consumption does not effectively stimulate muscle building.
protein per kg of body weight per day is the minimum recommended for GLP-1 users to preserve lean mass. Most users consume 40–60% of this target.
is how quickly fat returns after stopping GLP-1 medication. Muscle does not return on the same timeline — making muscle preservation the critical intervention window.
