Health & General Disclaimer

All content, plans, scores, missions and recommendations are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They do not constitute medical, psychological, psychiatric, physiotherapeutic, nutritional or other professional advice, and they do not create a practitioner–patient relationship. Always seek the advice of a qualified health professional with any question regarding a medical condition, and never disregard or delay seeking such advice because of something you read in the Services.

Consult a physician before beginning any programme in the Services if you:

• are pregnant, breastfeeding or recovering from childbirth;
• have a cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, neurological or musculoskeletal condition;
• have or have had an eating disorder, or are receiving treatment for a mental-health condition;
• use medication that affects heart rate, blood pressure, thermoregulation or sleep;
• are recovering from surgery or injury, or are otherwise medically supervised.

Cold showers and cold-water exposure carry risks including cold shock response, cardiac arrhythmia and hypothermia and are contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, Raynaud's phenomenon and pregnancy. Physical training carries a risk of injury. Modified eating patterns are unsuitable for a number of conditions. You undertake these activities entirely at your own risk and must stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience pain, dizziness, chest discomfort, numbness or shortness of breath.

Where we cite research, we do so faithfully and identify the strength of the evidence. Study results describe averages across populations and do not predict individual outcomes. A citation is not an endorsement of Grounded by the institution concerned, nor does it imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by or review of Grounded by that institution.

Individual results depend on factors outside our control. We make no representation or warranty that any particular outcome — physical, mental, emotional or otherwise — will be achieved.

The Services are not designed for emergencies and are not monitored in real time. If you are in crisis or believe you may harm yourself or others, contact your local emergency number immediately — 112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US and Canada, 000 in Australia — or a local crisis line. In the Netherlands you can reach 113 Suicide Prevention on 0800-0113; in the US and Canada you can call or text 988.

Statements made in the Services have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The Services and any content, routine, nutrition or supplement information within them are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Grounded is not a medical device and is not a substitute for professional medical care.

Consult your physician or another qualified health provider before starting any exercise, cold exposure, fasting, nutrition or sleep programme, particularly if you have a medical condition or take medication.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and without prejudice to liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, intent or gross negligence, we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information provided through the Services.
