Lila is a perimenopause coaching app from Tidalflow. It tracks more than twenty symptoms – hot flashes, brain fog, bloating, mood swings – alongside photo-logged meals, connects the two to identify trigger foods, and builds nutrition plans that account for hormonal fluctuation. Cycle tracking is adapted for irregular cycles, supplements are suggested against dietary gaps, and a coaching chatbot is available around the clock.
Photo logging is the design decision that determines whether anyone still uses this in week six. Food diaries are abandoned at a famous rate because weighing and typing every meal is a second job, and a symptom-to-diet correlation needs months of consistent data before it says anything. Photographing a plate is the only version of the task people keep doing.
Tidalflow is an AI healthtech company and Lila is described as the top perimenopause app on the App Store, developed with a registered dietitian specialising in perimenopause and backed by Gradient Ventures. It is free to download with a two-minute setup and no pricing published. Correlating symptoms with food is association and not causation, perimenopause symptoms have many drivers that a food log cannot see, and supplement suggestions from an app are not clinical advice however well sourced.
