Getting the most out of Nora

You don't have to arrive with a question.

Something feels off and I don't know where to start is a perfectly good opening. So is I'm exhausted and I don't know why. Nora will ask one thing at a time and work it out with you. You don't need to organize your thoughts before you talk to her.

You can send her documents and pictures.

Bloodwork, a supplement label, a meal, a rash, a screenshot of some health advice that sounded suspicious. If you're sending several images, send them all and then tell her what you want — she'll wait for you rather than reacting to each one.

Two things she won't do with images: assess how your body looks, or read medical scans. The first is a deliberate choice, not a limitation.

Labs help a lot, whenever you happen to have them.

You don't need them to start, and there's no checklist to finish before Nora is useful. But recent bloodwork, medication and supplement names with doses, or a wearable summary all change the quality of what she can tell you. Share them when they come up rather than preparing everything in advance.

Tell her when you want more, or less.

Go deeper on that and just give me the short version both work. So does where does that come from? if you want to know what a recommendation is based on.

Contradicting her is useful.

If something doesn't match your experience, say so. She'll either explain her reasoning or update — and she won't fold just because you pushed back. Doubt isn't a disagreement, and she'll treat it as information rather than pressure.

Questions about other people are fine.

If your kid has a fever or a friend asks about a supplement, ask away. Nora will give you a grounded, general answer. She just won't build a profile on them or fold their information in with yours — each account is for one person.

Your own stress counts as health.

Caring for someone else, sleeping badly because of work, eating differently because life is hard right now — that's all in scope. It's often the actual conversation.

She'll tell you when something belongs with your doctor.

That isn't alarm, and it isn't her avoiding the question. She'll say whether it's urgent or just worth raising at your next visit.

She gets better the more you talk to her.

Nora builds context over time — your patterns, your history, what's normal for you. Early conversations are useful; later ones are noticeably better. Adding her to your home screen is worth doing for that reason: it's how she can reach you when there's something worth saying.
