Medical disclaimer

The short version: we’re doctors, but we’re not your doctor.

The Unsolicited Health Podcast (the podcast, videos, website, newsletter and social media) is made for general education and entertainment. Nothing we say is a diagnosis, treatment plan or substitute for a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history and can examine you.

Please don’t

• start, stop or change any medication because of something you heard on the show;
• delay seeing a doctor because an episode made you feel reassured;
• use anything we say in an emergency. Go to the nearest hospital or call 999 / 112.

Guests and opinions

Guests share their own views and experience. Medicine changes as evidence changes, and what was accurate when an episode was recorded may since have been updated. We correct things when we get them wrong. If you spot something, tell us.

Anonymous questions

We may discuss questions sent through the website on air. We answer them in general terms only, and we can’t offer individual consultations through the podcast.

Sponsors

Any sponsored content will always be clearly labelled. Sponsors never get a say in our medical opinions.
