Medical Disclaimer.

periEd is not a medical device. Nothing on this site is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Using periEd does not create a clinician-patient relationship.

What periEd is

periEd is an education and self-tracking tool. It is designed to help you organize information about your body, learn about perimenopause and menopause from curated and AI-assisted sources, and prepare for conversations with a qualified healthcare provider. It is not a substitute for professional medical care.

Anything periEd surfaces — symptom patterns, AI-generated answers, suggested questions, articles, lab interpretations, or recommendations — is informational only. It exists to help you understand what is happening in your body and to have better conversations with someone who is licensed to give you actual medical guidance.

Always consult a qualified clinician

Talk to a qualified healthcare provider before starting, stopping, or changing any medication, supplement, dose, route, schedule, or treatment, and before acting on anything you learn through periEd. Your specific medical situation is something only a clinician who knows you can responsibly assess. This includes hormone therapy decisions, new prescriptions, supplements, lifestyle changes, and interpretation of lab values in your context.

periEd is not for emergencies

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, stop using periEd and call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. Get help right away if you experience any of the following:

• Chest pain or pressure
• Sudden severe headache, especially the worst of your life
• Sudden weakness, numbness, or trouble speaking or seeing
• Very heavy bleeding (soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for several hours), or large clots
• A sudden swollen, painful, or warm leg, or unexplained shortness of breath
• Signs of severe allergic reaction
• Thoughts of harming yourself or someone else (in the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)

periEd cannot recognize, evaluate, or respond to emergencies.

About AI-generated content

Some features of periEd use large language models (LLMs) to generate articles, answer questions, and offer suggestions. AI output can be:

• Inaccurate. Models can “hallucinate” — generate confident-sounding statements that are wrong.
• Out of date. Models have training cutoffs and may not reflect current guidelines, drug interactions, or recent recalls.
• Incomplete. AI cannot examine you, run tests, or know information you have not provided.
• Biased. Underlying training data has gaps and biases that can affect output for some populations more than others.

We do our best to ground our AI features in evidence-based perimenopause and menopause literature. We still strongly recommend that you verify anything important with a qualified clinician or authoritative medical source before acting on it. Treat AI output as a starting point for thinking, not a final answer.

Specific situations to flag with your clinician

The Service is not appropriate as a primary source of guidance if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Many recommendations and medications discussed in perimenopause content do not apply or are contraindicated. Consult an obstetric care provider.
• You have a history of estrogen-sensitive cancer or blood clots. Hormone therapy decisions in these situations are highly individualized and require specialist input.
• You are managing complex conditions or polypharmacy. Drug-drug interactions and condition-specific contraindications require a clinician's review.
• You are under the care of a specialist for related issues. Always defer to your specialist's guidance.

Self-tracking accuracy

periEd presents your data back to you. It does not validate the accuracy of values you enter (such as lab results or medication doses). Inaccurate input produces inaccurate output. Please double-check anything you log if you intend to share it with a clinician or rely on it for decisions.

No diagnostic or therapeutic claims

periEd has not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. periEd is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.
