Medical Disclaimer
Effective date: September 28, 2026 | Last updated: September 28, 2026
Stackd is not medical care. Nothing in the Stackd app or on stackd.health is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. This includes AI insights, lab result explanations, nutrition estimates, workout and rehab suggestions, supplement information, and reports. Stackd is an educational tool to help you track your health and have better conversations with qualified professionals. Always talk to a doctor or other qualified provider before making decisions about your health, medications, diet, exercise, or supplements.
In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. Do not use Stackd in an emergency.
1. AI-generated content
Stackd uses AI (Claude, provided by Anthropic) to estimate nutrition from photos and recipes, read lab reports, generate insights and reports, and suggest workouts.
- AI can be wrong. It can misread a photo or report, miss context, or state things with more confidence than the evidence supports. AI content is not reviewed by a clinician before you see it.
- AI does not know your full health picture. It works only from what you have entered and cannot examine you or account for everything a clinician would.
- Citations are context, not proof. Where Stackd links to published research, that research may not apply to you, and studies can be limited or later revised.
Use AI insights as a starting point for questions to ask your provider, never as a conclusion.
2. Lab results
- Lab values are shown as you entered them or as the app read them from your upload. Check them against your original report.
- Reference ranges differ by lab, age, sex, and health status. The ranges and status labels in Stackd ("low", "optimal", "high") are general and may not match your lab's ranges or your situation.
- Talk to your doctor promptly about any abnormal or worrying result. Do not use Stackd to decide whether a result needs medical attention.
3. Nutrition and meal estimates
- Calories, macros, and micronutrients from photos, recipes, labels, and databases are estimates. Portion sizes, ingredients, brands, and cooking methods change real values.
- Nutrition targets in Stackd are general guides, not a personalized medical diet.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have diabetes, kidney disease, an eating disorder or a history of one, food allergies, or any condition affected by diet, follow the advice of your doctor or a registered dietitian.
4. Workouts, exercise, and rehab
- Exercise carries a risk of injury. Check with your doctor before starting a new program, especially if you have a heart, lung, joint, or other medical condition, are pregnant, or have been inactive.
- Generated workouts, strength estimates, and progression suggestions are general and do not account for your form, equipment, or health.
- The rehab tool is not physical therapy. It offers general, gentle exercise ideas for areas you mark. It does not assess, diagnose, or treat injuries. See a doctor or physical therapist for pain, injury, or recovery after surgery.
- Stop exercising and seek medical help if you feel chest pain, dizziness, faintness, unusual shortness of breath, or sharp or worsening pain.
5. Supplements
- Supplements can have real effects, interact with medications and each other, and cause harm in high doses or for some people. "Natural" does not mean safe.
- Supplements are not regulated like prescription drugs, and quality varies between brands.
- Interaction warnings in Stackd are not complete. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, stopping, or changing any supplement, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a chronic condition, or are preparing for surgery.
6. Your data and accuracy
Stackd's calculations depend on the information you enter and connect, including Apple Health data. Errors in that information will affect the results. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter.
7. Not HIPAA covered
Stackd is not a healthcare provider, health plan, or business associate under HIPAA. See our Privacy Policy for how we protect your data.
8. No endorsement
Mentions of foods, brands, supplements, or products are for information only and are not endorsements. Stackd has no commercial relationship with any brand mentioned unless we say so clearly.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Stackd is not liable for any health outcome, injury, or loss that results from using or relying on content in the Service. Your use of Stackd is at your own risk. Our Terms of Service explain the full limits of our liability.
