Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Advice

The information provided by FitWise, including all calculators, AI-generated recommendations, and content, is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to be and should not be interpreted as medical advice or a diagnosis of any health or fitness problem, condition, or disease.

FitWise does not replace the relationship between you and your healthcare providers. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, diet, exercise program, or health-related decision.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of FitWise does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, or any other professional healthcare relationship. The AI-generated "expert perspectives" are simulated responses based on general knowledge and do not represent actual consultations with licensed professionals.

FitWise's creators, owners, employees, and contributors are not licensed medical professionals and cannot diagnose, treat, or provide medical advice for any condition.

Before starting any new diet, exercise program, or supplement regimen, especially if you have any of the following conditions, consult with a qualified healthcare provider:

• Heart disease or cardiovascular conditions
• High blood pressure or cholesterol
• Diabetes or blood sugar disorders
• Obesity or being significantly overweight/underweight
• Eating disorders or disordered eating patterns
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Any chronic illness or medical condition
• Taking prescription medications
• Recent surgery or injury
• Age under 18 or over 65

Results May Vary

The calculations and recommendations provided by FitWise are estimates based on scientific formulas and general population data. Individual results will vary based on numerous factors including but not limited to:

• Genetics and metabolic rate
• Medical history and current health conditions
• Hormonal factors
• Sleep quality and stress levels
• Medications and supplements
• Accuracy of input data
• Adherence to recommendations

FitWise cannot guarantee specific results from using the Service.

AI-Generated Content Limitations

The AI-generated recommendations and expert perspectives are created by artificial intelligence and may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate advice for your specific situation. AI does not replace human judgment or professional medical expertise.

The simulated expert perspectives represent general approaches from various health philosophies but do not constitute actual advice from licensed professionals in those fields.

Accuracy of Calculators

While FitWise uses scientifically-validated formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR, various methods for body fat calculation), these formulas provide estimates only. Actual values can only be accurately determined through professional testing methods such as:

• DEXA scans for body composition
• Metabolic testing for TDEE/BMR
• Hydrostatic weighing for body fat
• Professional caliper measurements

Potential Risks

Making changes to your diet or exercise routine carries potential risks. Consult with healthcare professionals before implementing recommendations, especially if you plan to:

• Significantly reduce caloric intake
• Start intense exercise without prior fitness experience
• Follow restrictive diets (keto, very low carb, etc.)
• Make dramatic changes to eating patterns (intermittent fasting, OMAD)
• Take new supplements or make supplement changes

When to Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Stop using FitWise and seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Chest pain, difficulty breathing, or heart palpitations
• Severe dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness
• Signs of disordered eating or eating disorder behaviors
• Severe or persistent pain
• Unusual or concerning symptoms after changing your diet or exercise
