Use of your data & AI
This website operates as a tool to summarise and signpost users to reliable sources curated by our clinical team, such as from the NHS or national trustworthy charities. This AI service is designed to summarise information from these sources of information that match with your specific questions and enhance, rather than substitute, for clinical-led care. AI does not replace clinical insights or national guidance or treatment pathways; it gives you a wider perspective and assists your thinking and understanding. Clinical standards evolve, so some of the nationally available guidance that AI might still 'visit' may have become obsolete. So, asking Doc Ruth for advice is a great starting point for you in your weight loss journey.
The aim of this site is not diagnostic in any way – as we do not ask you to share any personal details about your weight, gender, ethnicity or health problems. So, our Doc Ruth AI cannot examine you and is not aware of your full medical history, and your interactions are not reviewed or validated by a doctor or health coach – it's just a machine and you need to make your own judgements about the advice shared with you. So, AI must not be your sole source of health advice; and in setting your weight loss goals you might need to seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional, if you have health issues or personal concerns.
You will read of many others' stories about how they have succeeded in losing weight and sustained their weight loss (or sometimes had blips when they regained their weight). These are all true stories, but the names and details in the case studies have been modified to preserve their anonymity.
