Cholestie is a consumer wellness and educational tool.
Not Medical Advice
Cholestie does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional nutritional care.
Information shown in Cholestie is intended to help you organize information, understand general nutrition concepts, and make more informed everyday choices.
Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about medical conditions, cholesterol treatment, medications, laboratory results, or significant dietary changes.
Cholestie is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, and it has not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other regulator. Subscribing to Cholestie Premium does not change this or the limitations described here.
AI and Nutrition Estimates
Meal analysis and lab report scanning in Cholestie use artificial intelligence.
AI can make mistakes.
Estimated saturated fat, fiber, ingredients, serving sizes, food types, and other information may be inaccurate.
A photo often cannot reveal:
- exact portion sizes;
- hidden oils or butter;
- sauces and dressings;
- preparation methods;
- exact ingredients;
- brands;
- recipe quantities; or
- ingredients contained inside prepared or restaurant foods.
Cholestie may ask follow-up questions to improve an estimate, but those questions do not guarantee accuracy.
Meal insights are short, general educational notes generated by AI, such as a common way to lower a meal's saturated fat. They are not personalized advice, and they do not take into account your health, medications, allergies, or other circumstances.
Whenever precision matters, use a food label, verified nutrition database, recipe information, or guidance from a qualified professional.
Cholesterol Results
Cholestie may display changes between cholesterol lab results.
A change shown in the app does not establish that a particular meal, diet, exercise habit, supplement, medication, or other behavior caused that change.
Many factors can affect cholesterol measurements.
If you scan a lab report, Cholestie uses artificial intelligence to read the values from the image. Scanned values can be wrong or incomplete, so check every value against your report before saving it. Cholestie does not interpret lab results or say whether a value is high, low, or normal.
Lab check reminders are based only on a date you choose. Cholestie does not recommend when or how often to have your cholesterol tested.
Daily Targets
Cholestie's standard daily saturated-fat limit and fiber goal are general reference amounts, not personalized recommendations. You can set your own targets; ask a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian what is right for you.
Medications and Treatment
Do not start, stop, reduce, increase, or otherwise change medication or medical treatment based on Cholestie.
Discuss medication and treatment decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.
Allergies and Medical Diets
Do not use Cholestie to determine whether a food is safe for an allergy, food intolerance, celiac disease, metabolic disorder, or other medical dietary restriction.
AI may fail to recognize hidden or cross-contaminated ingredients.
Emergencies
Cholestie is not an emergency service.
If you believe you may be experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance or contact your local emergency service.
Your Responsibility
You are responsible for how you use information provided by Cholestie.
Cholestie should support conversations with qualified professionals, not replace them.
