Stave Health Disclaimer

General disclaimer

Stave provides general fitness and nutrition information intended for healthy adults. The Service — including all guidance from Marcus (training) and Lena (nutrition), workout plans, meal plans, recipes, food logging analysis, and any other content — is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

No interaction with Marcus, Lena, or any other feature of Stave creates a provider-patient relationship. Marcus and Lena are artificial intelligence, not licensed healthcare professionals, physicians, therapists, registered dietitians, or certified nutrition counselors.

Consult your physician

You should consult a qualified physician or healthcare provider before starting this or any exercise or nutrition program. This is especially important if you:

• Have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular disease
• Have diabetes or other metabolic conditions
• Have a current injury or chronic pain condition
• Have a history of eating disorders
• Are pregnant or postpartum
• Take medication that affects diet or exercise — including GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (such as semaglutide or tirzepatide), which can significantly affect appetite, caloric needs, nutritional requirements, and exercise tolerance
• Have any other medical condition that may be affected by changes in physical activity or diet

If you are taking GLP-1 medications, the nutritional guidance and caloric targets provided by Stave may not account for the specific metabolic changes these medications cause. Work with your prescribing physician and a registered dietitian to set appropriate targets.

When to stop exercising

Stop immediately and seek medical attention if you experience any of the following during or after exercise:

• Chest pain or pressure
• Severe shortness of breath beyond normal exertion
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or feeling faint
• Sharp or sudden joint pain
• Irregular heartbeat
• Nausea or vomiting during exercise
• Any pain that feels wrong

There is a difference between the burn of a hard set and real pain. When in doubt, stop. No workout is worth an injury, and Marcus will still be there tomorrow.

Assumption of risk

Physical training carries inherent risk of injury. By using Stave's training features, you acknowledge that you participate voluntarily and assume that risk. Stave, LLC, its officers, employees, contractors, and content contributors are not liable for injuries sustained during workouts performed using the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; where they apply, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.

Nutrition information

Nutritional data provided by Stave — including calorie counts, macronutrient breakdowns, meal plans, and food logging analysis — is based on databases, AI estimation, and generalized formulas. It is approximate. Actual nutritional content can vary based on specific products, preparation methods, portion sizes, and other factors.

Stave is not a substitute for working with a registered dietitian, particularly if you have food allergies (beyond the allergen flagging Stave provides), metabolic conditions, or specialized nutritional needs.

AI limitations

Marcus and Lena are AI coaches powered by large language models. They can be wrong. Their guidance is generated based on programs and content built with human experts, but AI output should be treated as informed suggestions, not instructions. Always use your own judgment, especially regarding pain, injury, and anything touching a medical condition.

The coaches do not have access to your medical history, current medications, or clinical test results unless you explicitly tell them — and even then, they are not qualified to interpret medical information.

Not a medical device

Stave is a wellness product. It is not a medical device, is not FDA-cleared or approved, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The app's features — including weight tracking, calorie tracking, and body composition estimates — are for personal wellness purposes only and should not be used for clinical decision-making.
