Questions
Don't miss what's recommended for you.
1. Is the Healthy Life Network replacing my GP?
No. We are designed to complement your doctor and specialist team. We provide educational tools and references for more informed discussions. Clinical decisions stay with your healthcare professionals.
2. Is the free map a list of tests I need?
No. It highlights where prevention and early recognition may help, and shows which areas have an organised screening program in Australia. Your GP helps match checks to your age, symptoms and individual risk.
3. If I pay $5, am I buying a personal plan?
No. The Better Map is a general reference for men or for women, for your region, with age based schedules and what other regions recommend. It is not tailored to you. HLN PRIME members receive a Personal Prevention Map built from their own answers.
4. Why do you show other countries' recommendations?
Recommendations differ between countries, because each weighs the evidence, the possible harms and its own health system. In the Better Map we show the recommendations for your region in detail, and what the other regions, including Europe, recommend, with sources and years, for discussion with your GP. These are not extra tests you must have.
5. What are Dr Warrick's additional considerations?
Topics Dr Warrick may discuss with patients beyond routine screening, depending on their history. They are labelled as his, kept separate from the guidelines, and explained with their reasons and limits. They are not recommendations for everyone.
6. Do you collect health information for the free map?
No. We ask only for your first name, your email and which map you would like, so we can send it to you. Dr Warrick's Weekly News is a separate, optional tick box, and you can unsubscribe at any time. We do not ask about your health.
7. Is the Q&A always live?
Sessions are normally live, with dates generally published about two months ahead. When travel or medical commitments prevent a live session, a recorded Q&A is provided and members are told. You can send general questions beforehand in either case.
8. Will you review my blood tests or scans on the Q&A?
No. The group Q&A covers general educational questions. Please discuss your own reports and treatment with your GP or specialist.
9. Can I cancel?
Yes, at any time from your account. Your access continues to the end of the month you have paid for.
10. Who is behind the Healthy Life Network?
Dr Warrick Bishop, an author and health educator with over 30 years of experience caring for patients. His interests in OsteoStrong Hobart and Longevity Labs are disclosed on every issue.
11. What is the Personal Prevention Map?
A map built around you, for HLN PRIME members. You answer a few questions about where you receive care, your age and your history. Our tool selects only from guidelines and considerations Dr Warrick has signed off, and the AI only helps word your summary; it never invents a test or an age. You take it to your GP, who makes the decisions with you.
12. What happens to my answers?
They are used only to prepare your map, stored securely, never sold, and never used for marketing or to train AI. You can update or delete them at any time from your library. The privacy notice gives the details.
13. Does "missing out" mean I need more tests?
No. It means checking that you are not missing the checks already recommended for someone of your age and sex. For some people the right answer is fewer tests, not more. Your GP helps you decide.
