Last bit of housekeeping from Dr. Wuse:

Welcome to your first day of the Starter Challenge ;) I’m soooo excited to do this with you. First step to getting as much as possible out of this challenge is to make sure you understand all the ways I can support you- and the one big way I can’t. I love my patients, but the info you see on Byte Wellness is not personal medical advice or treatment.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve spent a lot of time making sure you get the most evidence-based knowledge from me. The eating tips you’ll get from me via text message and on this Byte Wellness website are considered general best practices. They come from trusted organizations like the American Heart Association, from scientific studies and also from my own clinical experiences with my patients. But, reading this site and getting my text messages doesn’t make me your doctor. So, I can’t tell you what decisions are best for your specific health profile.

Your doctor and the rest of your healthcare team are the ones who know your health best. Talk to them before using these tips to make major changes to your eating.

Speaking of your doctor…a lot of people aren’t sure who is in their health provider team. Take a second to refresh your memory with the quick exercise below. Complete the form, then take a screenshot and keep this in your records for later
