Safety & contraindications
At Superhuman Wellness, your safety is our absolute priority. Each protocol is designed under scientific framework and individually adapted. This page brings together the essential information to know before starting a programme.
Scientific framework
All our protocols are designed and validated by a team of physicians and specialists in sports medicine, micronutrition and functional biology. An initial assessment is systematically carried out before any care begins, in order to identify any contraindications and to adapt the programme to your profile.
No protocol replaces medical advice. In case of doubt or pre-existing conditions, we recommend consulting your treating physician before starting any programme.
Absolute contraindications
Persons presenting with one of the following conditions cannot access our protocols without prior specialist medical advice:
- Unstabilised cardiovascular disease (heart failure, severe arrhythmia, unstable angina)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding in progress
- Active anticoagulant or immunosuppressive treatment
- Cancer under active treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy)
- Severe renal or hepatic insufficiency
- Active eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia)
- Acute, unstabilised psychiatric episode
- Pacemaker or implanted electronic device (for certain stimulation protocols)
Relative contraindications
The following situations require an individualised assessment by our team before any enrolment:
- Type 1 or type 2 diabetes under medication

Precautions of use
To ensure the effectiveness and safety of your journey, we ask you to:

- Respect the rest intervals and dosages recommended in your personalised protocol
- Maintain adequate hydration (at least 1.5 L of water per day)

Possible side effects
Some physiological optimisation protocols may cause transient reactions during the adaptation phase, including:
- Mild fatigue or headaches in the first few days (detox reaction)
- Changes in bowel transit during micronutritional adjustments
- Mild muscle soreness at the start of an exercise protocol
- Temporary energy fluctuations during phases of carbohydrate restriction
If symptoms persist or are unusual (chest pain, abnormal shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness), stop the protocol immediately and consult a physician or emergency services (144 in Switzerland).
