How a curriculum written once ends up feeling like it was written for you.
Not artificial intelligence inventing advice on the spot. A carefully authored curriculum, assembled against your own answers, with the evidence shown.
A spine, then layers.
Every member gets one of six spines. Everything after that is a layer applied to it.
The spine
Six of them: lean down, recompose, build, become capable, restore energy, or understand your health first. This decides the arc of your first twelve weeks.
- One spine at a time, changeable without losing history
- Up to two secondary priorities layered on
The life-stage layer
Nine stages. This layer changes what the same behaviour means for you, not just how it is phrased.
- Under 35, 35 to 50, 50 and over
- Perimenopause and postpartum, shown only where relevant
- Low testosterone and andropause, shown only where relevant
- GLP-1 medication support, and return after a long break
The pace layer
Three paces, and the one you get is chosen by where you actually are, not by ambition. It caps how much the app asks of you in a day.
- Foundation pace for a genuinely new start — three actions maximum
- Re-entry pace for coming back — four, and a small first day
- Progression pace once you are consistent — five
The friction layer
The one that decides whether you stay. Six profiles, each with its own module and its own daily behaviour.
- All-or-nothing thinking, evening collapse, unreliable motivation
- Feeling invisible, no accountability, plain overwhelm
- Answer “overwhelmed” and the screen shows exactly one action until you ask for more
Six spines, nine stages, three paces and six friction profiles resolve into thousands of distinct daily protocols — all traceable back to authored, reviewed content rather than generated text.
It assembles and explains. It does not decide about your body.
The intelligence in RYLOME does three things: it assembles your daily protocol from authored content and your own answers, it explains a concept again in a different way when you have not understood it, and it quizzes you on what you learned so it actually sticks.
It does not diagnose, dose, triage a symptom, interpret your laboratory result, or characterise your mental state. There is no version of this product where we call it your doctor, and there is no roadmap item that changes that.


Nothing about your body is gamified.
A great deal of this industry runs on making people compete about their weight. We think that is both harmful and a poor engagement mechanism, because it drives the people who need the curriculum most straight out of the room.
So the rings count actions. Levels count days closed and lessons finished. Capability tests are shareable because a thirty-second dead hang is a skill you built. Weight, measurements, photographs, journal entries and mood check-ins go into a private vault and stay there — unscored, unranked, invisible to everyone else.
The community follows the same rule. No before-and-after photographs, no weight talk, no language that makes a food or a body good or bad.
We would rather correct a popular idea than repeat it.
Lessons carry their sources, and when the evidence does not support a familiar claim, the lesson says so.
Three things we changed our own content to say
- There is no evidential basis for the widely repeated idea that you need to hit roughly eighty per cent of a programme for it to work. It is a marketing number.
- The abstinence-violation effect — the idea that one slip triggers collapse — is considerably weaker than the industry assumes. That is why RYLOME has no streak.
- The claim that you get compensatory rapid-eye-movement sleep in the back half of the night after a short night is not well supported. Our sleep lessons do not use it.
How we handle the hard categories
- Peptides and prescription drugs: mechanism, evidence quality and regulatory status only. No sourcing, no dosing, no combining.
- No claim that membership changes a laboratory value, your weight or your body composition.
- No invented testimonials, no manufactured deadlines, no fabricated scarcity.
- No lesson is described as physician-reviewed unless a named physician has actually reviewed that lesson.
A selection of the evidence behind the curriculum.
