What This App Does Not Do
Clear boundaries and important limitations
This app has clear boundaries. It is designed to educate and support self-awareness, but it is not a substitute for professional medical care.
This app does not:
- ✗Diagnose health conditions or diseases — pattern recognition is not medical diagnosis
- ✗Prescribe medications, supplements, or treatments — all medical decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare provider
- ✗Replace consultation with healthcare providers — this tool complements but does not replace professional care
- ✗Provide emergency medical services — if you have severe symptoms or an emergency, contact appropriate medical services
Our Guidance Philosophy
How we approach recommendations and advice
All guidance provided by Cougar Puberty™ is educational in nature. While based on research, practitioner insights, and common experiences during hormonal transitions, it should not be considered medical advice.
Your health journey is unique. If you have concerns, experience severe or disruptive symptoms, or need medical care, please consult appropriate healthcare professionals.
Your autonomy matters
We respect your ability to make decisions about your own health. This app provides information and frameworks to support your understanding, but you are the expert on your own body and experience.
When to Seek Medical Care

- ⚠Neurological changes (vision changes, severe headaches, numbness)
- ⚠Suicidal thoughts or severe depression
- ⚠Chest pain, shortness of breath, or stroke-like symptoms
- ⚠Any symptoms that feel severe, disruptive, or worrying to you
In an emergency: This app cannot respond to emergencies. Contact local emergency services or urgent medical care immediately.
