Medical Disclaimer

Information provided through Peony, including through the website, Peony Care Plan™, Peony Companion App, Healing Happens Together podcast, educational programs, articles, videos, courses, events, community, Integrative Healthcare Advocates, artificial intelligence features, practitioner directories, emails, social media, and other resources, is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

It is not individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Nothing on Peony should be interpreted as an instruction to begin, stop, delay, or change cancer treatment, medication, surgery, radiation, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or other medical care.

Your health history, diagnosis, treatment, medications, laboratory results, genetics, preferences, and risks are individual.

Discuss medical decisions with your oncologist or another appropriately qualified healthcare professional who knows your circumstances.

If Peony content raises a question, use it to help prepare a conversation with your healthcare team.

Peony discusses supportive and integrative approaches that may include nutrition, exercise, rehabilitation, sleep, mindfulness, acupuncture, massage, supplements, recovery practices, and other complementary therapies.

The evidence supporting these approaches varies.

Some may be helpful for particular people or purposes. Others may have limited evidence, may not be appropriate in a particular situation, or may interact with cancer treatment, medications, surgery, or other health conditions.

Peony does not recommend replacing evidence-based cancer treatment with complementary or alternative approaches.

Supplements, herbs, botanicals, devices, wellness products, and other health products may have side effects, contraindications, quality differences, or interactions.

Do not assume that a product is safe because it is described as natural, integrative, or available without a prescription.

Discuss supplements and health products with your medical team, pharmacist, or another appropriately qualified professional when relevant.

Peony may provide information about practitioners or other professionals.

Peony does not guarantee that a particular practitioner is appropriate for your needs or that any practitioner’s recommendations are medically appropriate for you.

You are responsible for evaluating credentials, licensure, scope of practice, fees, insurance coverage, and suitability.

Integrative Healthcare Advocates provide non-clinical support.

They may help women organize information, prepare questions, clarify priorities, coordinate support, and navigate the practical and emotional experience of breast cancer.

Integrative Healthcare Advocates do not replace physicians or other licensed healthcare professionals.

Unless separately licensed and expressly acting under that independent license, they do not diagnose, prescribe, interpret medical tests, or provide medical treatment.

AI-generated information may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or inappropriate for your individual circumstances.

Do not rely on an AI feature for diagnosis, emergency decisions, medication changes, treatment decisions, or interpretation of medical tests.

When something matters medically, confirm it with a qualified healthcare professional.

Using Peony does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Peony, Sarah Glynn, a Peony employee, guest expert, Integrative Healthcare Advocate, or practitioner listed through the platform.

A professional relationship may arise separately between you and an independently licensed practitioner you choose to work with, subject to that practitioner’s own terms and professional obligations.

Peony is not an emergency service and does not monitor communications for urgent medical concerns.

If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number or seek immediate medical care.

If you have new, severe, rapidly worsening, or concerning symptoms, follow the instructions provided by your healthcare team.

Peony does not guarantee outcomes from any treatment, supportive practice, product, practitioner, Integrative Healthcare Advocate, educational resource, lifestyle change, or other approach discussed through Peony.

Health outcomes depend on many individual factors.

Medical knowledge evolves.

Content that was accurate when produced may later become outdated as research, guidelines, approvals, recommendations, or standards of care change.

Peony aims to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed education but does not guarantee that every resource reflects the most recent medical literature or clinical guidance.
