This is not medical advice

What this site is

Educational, journalistic content about the health effects of work, written by non-clinical editors from published sources.

What it is not

It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a substitute for care from a qualified clinician who can examine you and read your notes.

Please see a professional if

• Pain is severe, worsening, or accompanied by numbness, weakness or loss of function.
• You have chest pain, breathlessness, or sudden severe headache — seek urgent care.
• You are struggling with your mental health, or thoughts of harming yourself.
• You are pregnant, managing a chronic condition, or taking prescription medication.

Supplements and devices

Nothing we mention is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before starting a supplement, especially alongside medication.
