Fasting safety comes before the timer
Know the situations that call for professional guidance, the warning signs to take seriously, and Blimbi’s limits.
Speak with a qualified professional first
Do not begin or extend a fast without individual guidance if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under 18, living with or recovering from an eating disorder, have type 1 diabetes, use insulin or medicine affected by food timing, are acutely ill, or are considering an extended fast. Other conditions can matter too; this list is not exhaustive.
Blimbi does not tell anyone to start, stop, delay, or change medication. A timer cannot account for a prescription, diagnosis, lab result, or personal history.
Stop when something feels wrong
End the fast and seek appropriate help for fainting, confusion, severe or persistent weakness, chest pain, repeated vomiting, signs of dehydration, or another symptom that concerns you. Emergency symptoms require local emergency services, not an email or an app.
What Blimbi can and cannot do
Blimbi can display elapsed time and general education. It cannot monitor glucose, hydration, ketosis, autophagy, nutrient status, or whether you are medically safe. No on-screen phase should be read as a measurement.
Health information here is general education, not diagnosis, treatment, or individualized medical advice.
