How Discord is set up, how physician Q&A works, and the rules.
A space for relevant, structured conversation with women matched to your profile — without the noise of a typical online community.
What this page answers
This is a peer-support space, not a clinical one. The simplest way to keep it safe for everyone — including yourself — is to participate under a nickname and to keep personal medical details private.
Pick a nickname that isn't tied to your real name, employer, or social profiles. You don't need to share who you are to participate fully.
Don't share lab reports, prescriptions, scans, or any documents with your name or personal details on them. Talk about patterns and experiences, not records.
Not a checklist. Just the fastest way to get comfortable here.
Join the Discord server and keep this page bookmarked as your reference.
Read the channel guide below so you know where things go.

Read the participation rules so the space stays useful and safe for everyone.
Complete your profile so you don't have to re-explain your situation every time.
Discord is intentionally structured. The goal is to make the right conversation easier to find and easier to trust. Nothing here is required — read, lurk, post, all at your own pace.
Your orientation: how the community works, who's from the Welltory team, what to tag and when, what counts as a crash, and what to do first.
What belongs here
Your questions about any of it — ask them right here. Nothing is too basic, and if you're wondering, someone else is too.
What does not
Health questions for the group — those get more eyes in #general.
The community rules and answers to common questions. Please skim before posting.
What belongs here
Mostly a reference — but if something isn't clear, ask and we'll answer.
What does not
Nothing much. Longer conversations just tend to be easier to follow in #general.
All guides, reports, and deep dives in one place — the crash & tagging guide, group data write-ups, condition guides.
What belongs here
The team posts here. React, and ask about anything that needs unpacking.
What does not
Nothing much. A long thread about a document is easier to follow in #general.
Crisis resources, always available: hotlines, emergency contacts, and vetted links (energy-limiting conditions, pacing, drug interactions).
What belongs here
A reference, kept clear on purpose so it's fast to find when it matters.
What does not
If you or someone else needs help right now, don't post — use the resources pinned here and DM the community manager.
Introductions and getting started. Say hi, share as much or as little as you want — your story, your conditions, what brought you here.
What belongs here
Introductions and hellos — and welcoming the people who post them.
What does not
Nothing much. If a hello turns into a real conversation, #general has more room for it.
The main channel. Everyday conversation, team announcements, physician Q&A, weekly recaps of what the group's data is showing.
About physician Q&A
Our Group Health Educator answers at the group level — patterns across people like you, what the science says, what a signal usually means. No diagnosis, no prescriptions, no reading your personal results. Please don't DM for individual advice.
What belongs here
Discussions, questions, physician Q&A (“why does this happen for people like us?”), responses to announcements.
What does not
Anything that clearly fits another channel — a win, a vent, a bug report.
A light “how are you today,” morning and afternoon. Pick one of three emojis: barely functioning / have some capacity / doing relatively okay. Add a sentence if you have the energy — or don't.
What belongs here
Your daily check-in emoji, plus a short note if you feel like it.
What does not
Long discussions — start those in #general.
Little (and big) victories. A shower mid-week. Finishing a task over three days instead of one. A first “green” day. All of it counts.
What belongs here
Your wins, at whatever scale they happen for you.
What does not
Nothing, really. If it feels like a win to you, it's a win.
Let it out. We don't fix each other here. No advice unless it's asked for, no forced positivity.
What belongs here
The hard stuff — pain, frustration, grief, a terrible appointment, a bad week.
What does not
Unsolicited advice, “have you tried…”, or “stay positive.”
Everything that's not about health or community stuff. Memes, pets, food, weather, life beyond conditions.
What belongs here
Off-topic chatter, humor, life outside your diagnosis.
What does not
Health discussions, questions for the physician, or anything that fits another channel better.
Share your experience — what you've tried, what helped, what made things worse.
What belongs here
Your own experience, honestly reported, including the things that didn't work.
What does not
Prescriptions or “you should take X.” Nothing here is medical advice — always check with your own doctor, including for interactions.
Anything about your Welltory experience: what works, what doesn't, bugs, compliments, complaints, half-formed thoughts. The product team reads everything.
Wednesdays are Product Days
The product team is around to answer questions and dig into your experience.
What belongs here
App feedback, bug reports, confusing metrics, compliments, complaints.
What does not
A specific, well-formed feature idea — that goes to #feature-requests so it can be found and voted on.
A forum for concrete ideas. One idea per post, with a clear title. Before posting, check whether your idea already exists — voting for an existing one helps it more than a duplicate.
What belongs here
One specific feature idea per post; votes and comments on existing ideas.
What does not
Bugs and general reactions — those go to #feedback.
Each round gets its own private channel. You won't see it unless you've been added — and you're added only if you said you want to take part in that particular round.
Closed channels — you’re added when you join a round. Over time there will be many of them.
What belongs here
Questions and conversation about that round; your participation (surveys, tagging, wearing your Watch).
What does not
Unrelated topics — those belong in #general.
A deep dive into something showing up across the group — either spotted in the group's data or raised by enough of you here that it clearly deserves a closer look. Our team digs into the data, the research, and our physicians, then brings back a plain breakdown: what the science says, what the data shows, what's still unknown.
Every round is announced in #general — the topic, why we're looking into it, what it asks of you, and how to opt in. Say you're in, and you'll be added to that round's channel.
Joining one round doesn't sign you up for the next. Rounds run when there's something worth investigating — not on a fixed schedule. When a round wraps up, its channel stays as the record of that work.
Us telling you what to do. No protocols, no instructions. What you do with the information is entirely your call — try something, take it to your own doctor, or just read it.
Doctors here provide group-level health education focused on patterns, not personal medical care.
The tone here is warm and human, but boundaries matter. That's what keeps the space useful.
No “you should,” “stop taking that,” or “you probably have X.” Everything shared here — by members, Group Health Educators, or AI-assisted tools — is a starting point for a conversation with your own doctor.
If someone's venting, just listen.
Nothing leaves this server without the author's explicit permission. And protect your own: don't post medical records, insurance numbers, or other identifying information.
A quieter setup usually works better here. The goal is to stay connected without turning Discord into a constant stream.
Keep replies and mentions on so you don't miss conversations that involve you.
Keep Lab Round updates on if you want to follow along as results come in.
Mute everything else if notifications drain you. You can always check in on your own time.
Start with the channel guide and check out how physician Q&A works. That’s it. You’re good to go.
If something’s confusing or missing, say so in #feedback or DM the community manager. That’s how this gets better. 💜
