Medical Disclaimer

If this is an emergency

Call 112.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger — fainting, chest pain, thoughts of self-harm — do not write a post. Call 112 or go to the nearest emergency department.

This platform is not monitored around the clock and cannot help someone in crisis.

Information, not diagnosis

Everything published on FMV HealthSpace Community — posts, comments, courses, live sessions — is informational and educational.

It does not replace examination, diagnosis or treatment by a doctor, dietitian or psychologist who has seen you and knows your situation.

None of it is tailored to your case. An article does not know your blood work, your medication or your history.

No practitioner–patient relationship is created

Reading material, attending a live session or talking to a professional here does not create a professional care relationship.

The professionals on this platform are independent. The verification mark confirms we have seen their qualifications, not that they are responsible for your treatment.

Real consultation involves examination, medical history and professional accountability. None of that happens in a comment thread.

Talk to your doctor before changing anything

Consult a professional before you:

• start a diet, a fast, or significant calorie restriction;
• take supplements, vitamins or weight-loss products;
• begin an intense exercise programme;
• change or stop a prescribed treatment.

Never stop a medication because of something you read here — not even if the person who wrote it holds a qualification. The doctor who prescribed it knows why.

Situations needing particular care

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, or living with diabetes, heart, kidney or liver disease, hormonal disorders, or take long-term medication, general information here may be unsuitable or actively risky for you. Seek individual advice.

If you are living with an eating disorder, or suspect you might be, please seek specialist help. Diet content, however well meant, can do harm in that context. Your GP is the simplest starting point and can refer you onward.

Results vary

Success stories posted by members are personal experiences, not promises. What worked for someone may not work for you — or may harm you.

We guarantee no outcome regarding weight, health or wellbeing.

The decision is yours

Decisions about your health belong to you, made together with the professionals caring for you.

We accept no liability for the consequences of actions based solely on content from this platform.

If you see advice here that strikes you as dangerous, tell us. We will look into it.
