Noom is a general wellness app, not a medical service. If you have health concerns, you must consult a real doctor — Noom's advice and content is not a substitute for medical care, and you use it at your own risk.
If you follow Noom's health or nutrition guidance and it causes you harm, Noom's Terms say they bear no responsibility — all reliance on the platform's recommendations is entirely at your own legal and personal risk.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages FTC Act Section 5 regarding advertising and endorsement claims for health and wellness products (FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials, 16 CFR Part 255). The FDA's digital health regulatory framework may be implicated if Noom's coaching functions are characterized as 'software as a medical device' (SaMD) under FDA's Digital Health Center of Excellence guidelines — though Noom's general wellness positioning is designed to avoid this classification. State medical practice acts may be relevant if personalized health recommendations cross the line into unlicensed medical advice.
