Medical Disclaimer

About My Medicine Advisor
Knowing who we are and what we do helps you weigh the information here appropriately.
An Independent, Solo Site
My Medicine Advisor is an independent health-information site written and run by one person — its founder and editor, who is not a medical doctor. There’s no clinical team or advisory board behind it, and we don’t claim there is.
AI-Assisted, Human-Edited
Content is researched from primary sources, drafted with AI assistance, and reviewed and edited by a person. Our tools are calculators that use established, published formulas — not AI diagnoses.
Education, Not Treatment
The aim is to make health information easier to understand — not to replace the judgement of a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your individual situation.
Our Tools & Their Limits
Our calculators are there to help you understand things — not to make clinical decisions for you. Knowing their limits keeps you safe.
Educational Estimates Only
Our calculators (such as BMI, BMR, and risk-score tools) apply established, published formulas to the numbers you enter. They give general educational estimates — not diagnoses or prescriptions.
They Don’t Know Your History
A calculator can’t take account of your full medical history, medications, allergies, or other conditions. Only a qualified professional with access to all of that can interpret what a number means for you.
Not for Urgent Decisions
Tool results should never drive urgent or emergency health decisions. Treat any output as a rough starting point for a conversation with your doctor — nothing more.
Approximate by Nature
Results are based on population-level formulas and statistical models. Individual results vary, sometimes a lot. The number is an indicator, not a verdict.
Transparent Methods
Because the formulas are standard and published, you can check what’s behind a result rather than trusting a black box. We’d rather be transparent than impressive.
Always Confirm With a Professional
Whatever a tool shows, the right next step for anything that matters is to talk to a qualified healthcare professional.
Accuracy of Information & Updates
Medicine changes constantly, and we can’t promise everything here always reflects the very latest developments. Here’s how we handle that, honestly.
✅ What We Aim For
- ✓Content grounded in recognised sources and peer-reviewed research
- ✓Links to primary authorities so claims can be checked
- ✓A visible “last updated” date on pages
- ✓Revisiting and updating content as guidance changes or errors are flagged
⚠️ What We Can’t Guarantee
- ✗That all information always reflects the absolute latest medical consensus
- ✗The completeness or timeliness of every single data point
- ✗That any of it applies to your specific, individual health situation

Limitation of Liability
The points below apply to everyone who uses the site. (This is general information, not legal advice.)
Our Liability
My Medicine Advisor and its founder don’t guarantee the completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any content, and aren’t liable for damages — direct, indirect, or consequential — arising from your use of the site’s content or tools. Decisions you make based on this information are your own.
Your Responsibility
By using the site you accept responsibility for how you interpret and apply any health information — including verifying it before acting, consulting a professional for personalised guidance, and using the tools sensibly.
External Links & Third-Party References
We link to outside organisations for reference and further reading. A few things to keep in mind about those links.
No Control Over External Sites
We don’t control or guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of content on websites we link to. External sites operate under their own privacy, editorial, and cookie policies.
We Aim for Reputable Sources
Where we link out, we try to point to recognised authorities such as the WHO, CDC, NIH, PubMed, and similar — so further reading is reliable.
A Link Isn’t an Endorsement
Linking to a site doesn’t mean we endorse everything it says, sells, or stands for. It’s always worth evaluating external sources for yourself.
