Talk with a healthcare professional
Health needs vary from person to person.
Before starting or stopping a supplement, herb, medication, exercise program, dietary change, or other health-related practice, consider discussing it with an appropriate healthcare professional, particularly if you:
- have a medical condition

Emergencies and serious symptoms
UGetWell is not an emergency medical service.
If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, seek appropriate emergency care immediately.
Articles may identify symptoms or situations in which professional evaluation is especially important, but those examples are not intended to be exhaustive.
Evidence and uncertainty
Health research evolves.
Some wellness practices have strong scientific support, while others have limited, mixed, preliminary, or primarily traditional evidence.
UGetWell aims to distinguish between these levels of evidence whenever practical and to link to reputable sources so readers can review the information themselves.
Products and supplements
Dietary supplements, herbs, foods, devices, and other products may cause side effects, interact with medications, or be inappropriate for some people.
Statements about products on UGetWell should not be interpreted as guarantees of safety, effectiveness, or suitability for an individual reader.
No professional relationship
Using UGetWell, reading its articles, or communicating with the site does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, pharmacist-patient, dietitian-client, or other professional healthcare relationship.
