What this site is, and what it cannot be.
Endurvity is a publication. It is written for a general audience by people who cannot see you, cannot examine you, and do not know your history. That limits what it can responsibly do, and this page sets out the limits.
No clinician-patient relationship
Reading this site, using a tool, or emailing us does not create a clinician-patient relationship of any kind. Nothing here is individualised advice, and no one at Endurvity is acting as your healthcare provider.
General information is genuinely useful for understanding a decision. It is a poor substitute for someone who can take a history and examine you.
What the tools do
The tools perform calculations and produce general ranges from figures you supply. They are wellness tools, not medical devices. They do not diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, or prevent any condition, and they are not validated for clinical use.
Each tool publishes what it measures, what it assumes about the person using it, and where its output stops being reliable. Read that section before acting on a number.
Speak with a professional about
- Any symptom that is new, severe, persistent, or getting worse.
- Starting or substantially changing exercise if you have a cardiac condition, uncontrolled blood pressure, a recent injury, or you have been inactive for a long period.
- Any change to medication, or a supplement that might interact with one.
- Substantial changes to your diet, particularly with diabetes, kidney disease, an eating disorder history, or during pregnancy.
- Interpreting a test result. A number outside a reference range means something different in context, and the context is your medical record.
In an emergency
Do not use this site. Contact your local emergency number or attend an emergency department. Do not delay seeking care because of something you read here, and do not disregard advice from a professional who has assessed you because a page on this site said otherwise.
This site is not monitored for emergencies.
Evidence changes
Health research moves, sometimes quickly. Every substantial page carries the date it was last reviewed, and a page reviewed some time ago may have been overtaken by newer work.
Where we are wrong, we correct it and log the correction. Where the evidence is thin, we say so on the page rather than rounding it up.
