Please read before using any EvenKeel guide
EvenKeel products are for educational and informational purposes only and are not medical advice. They do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and they do not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always ask your doctor or another qualified health professional about any medical condition.
Taking medicine for diabetes? Read this first. If you take medicine to lower your blood sugar, especially insulin or a sulfonylurea (such as glipizide, glyburide or glimepiride), changing what you eat, when you eat or how much you move can make your blood sugar drop too low (hypoglycemia). Talk with your doctor before you change your routine, and never change a dose or stop a medicine on your own. Learn the signs of low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, a fast heartbeat, hunger, confusion, dizziness) and follow the plan your care team gave you.
1. Educational information only
The guides, worksheets, meal plans, website and members area give general information about everyday habits, such as balanced meals and food order, walking and other physical activity, strength exercise, waist size, sleep, stress, evening eating and alcohol, that medical organizations discuss in connection with metabolic health, blood-vessel health and erectile function. The information is general and is not tailored to you. It has not been evaluated by the US Food and Drug Administration. EvenKeel does not interpret lab results and does not tell you what your numbers mean for you; please review them with your doctor.
2. Talk with your doctor first
Talk with your doctor before you start any of the routines, especially if you have diabetes or prediabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, a lung condition, joint problems or recent surgery, if you take any medicines, or if you have any other ongoing condition. If you have kidney disease, check protein amounts with your doctor before following the meal ideas. EvenKeel is not designed for people with type 1 diabetes or an eating disorder unless their care team agrees. Do not ignore professional medical advice, or delay getting it, because of something you read in an EvenKeel product.
3. ED can be an early warning sign
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be an early warning sign of other health problems, including heart and blood-vessel disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hormone problems, nerve problems, depression and the side effects of medicines. Please see a doctor for a checkup, even if you otherwise feel well, and especially if ED is new, sudden or getting worse. Effective medical treatments for ED exist, and EvenKeel is meant to work alongside the care your doctor provides, not replace it.
4. When to get emergency or urgent care
- Chest pain, pressure or tightness, shortness of breath, fainting, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw or back, whether at rest, during exercise or during sex: call 911 (or your local emergency number) right away.
- An erection lasting more than 4 hours (priapism) is a medical emergency: go to an emergency room right away.
- Severe low blood sugar (confusion, unusual behavior, seizures or passing out) in someone who takes diabetes medicine: call 911.
- Signs of a stroke (face drooping, arm weakness, trouble speaking): call 911.
- Sudden ED with numbness, weakness, or loss of bladder or bowel control; pain, a new curve or a lump in the penis; blood in urine or semen: see a doctor promptly.
- Thoughts of self-harm or a mental-health crisis: in the US, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) at any time.
5. Exercise risk
Any physical activity, including walking, movement snacks and strength exercises, carries some risk of injury or other health problems. You take part voluntarily and at your own risk. Start gently, follow the progressions, and stop right away if you feel pain, dizziness, unusual shortness of breath, chest discomfort or any other unusual symptom. Get medical help if symptoms don't go away.
6. Food and eating
The meal ideas and recipes use ordinary foods and are not a prescribed diet. EvenKeel does not recommend fasting, keto, very-low-calorie or other extreme diets. Check ingredients for allergies and intolerances, and follow any eating plan your doctor or dietitian has given you.
7. Medicines and supplements
Never start, stop or change a prescription or over-the-counter medicine because of anything in EvenKeel. Talk with the doctor who prescribed it. EvenKeel does not sell or recommend supplements, herbs or "male enhancement" products. The FDA has warned that many such products contain hidden drug ingredients that can be dangerous, especially for people who take nitrates for heart conditions.
8. No promise of results
We make no promise about any health outcome, including any change in erectile function, blood sugar, lab results, waist size or weight, and we give no timelines. Research described in the guides shows associations in groups of people and does not predict what will happen for you. Results vary.
9. Research & accuracy
We describe research in careful, general terms and cite it by organization or topic. Medical knowledge changes, and the information may not reflect the latest findings. We are not responsible for errors or omissions, or for outcomes from using the information.
