Medical disclaimer

Not medical advice

The content on this site is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it does not create a clinician-patient relationship. Always seek the guidance of a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, pharmacist or registered dietitian with questions about your own health.

No prescribing, no supply

New Startings does not prescribe, dispense, sell, import or arrange the supply of any medication, including prescription weight-management medication. When we describe telehealth services, we are explaining how those services are generally structured. Whether any treatment is appropriate for you can only be determined by a licensed clinician who has reviewed your medical history.

No guaranteed outcomes

Individual responses to diet, exercise, sleep and medical care vary widely. Nothing on this site should be read as a promise of any particular result, and any figures we cite are drawn from published research about groups of people, not predictions about you.

Talk to a clinician first

Speak with a professional before changing your diet, activity level, supplements or medication — and especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, have a history of an eating disorder, or are managing diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney, liver, thyroid, pancreatic or mental health conditions.

Emergencies

Never delay seeking care because of something you read here. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. In the United States, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 for mental health crises.
