DISCLAIMER
The Company’s Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer are hereby incorporated by reference into this agreement. Except as modified by this Agreement, each of those agreements and policies shall apply fully to your participation in the Program.
For Educational and Informational Purposes Only. The information provided in the Program is for educational and informational purposes only, and it is made available to you as self-help tools for your own use. Although I am a Registered Dietitian and Clinical Counsellor, while providing information outside of a prior established health professional-patient relationship, you acknowledge that I am providing you with general information and tools for your educational and informational purposes only for yourself. By sharing information in the Program, I am providing this information solely for your educational and informational purposes and not as treatment as your Dietitian or Counsellor.
Not Medical or Mental Health Advice. The information provided in the Program is not to be perceived or relied upon in any way as medical advice or mental health advice, nor does it create a health professional-patient relationship in any way. I am not providing mental health care, medical or nutritional therapy services or attempting to diagnose, treat, prevent or cure in any manner whatsoever any physical ailment, or any mental or emotional issue, disease or condition pertaining to any individual outside of an established health professional-patient relationship that I currently may have with that person. In addition, the Program is not intended to be a substitute for the professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by your own Medical Provider (including physician, nurse, dietitian or any other licensed health professional), Mental Health Provider (including psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, counselor, or social worker).
Consult Your Own Physician or Health Care Provider. My intent is NOT to replace any relationship that exists, or should exist, between you and your own Medical Provider and Mental Health Provider. You should always seek the advice of your own Medical Provider and/or Mental Health Provider regarding any questions or concerns you have about your specific health situation, including but not limited to physical or mental health issues. I advise you to speak with your own Medical Provider or Mental Health Provider before implementing any suggestions obtained through the Program including but not limited to nutrition (food, vitamins and/or supplements), natural therapies, exercise and lifestyle habits. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of information you have received through the Program. You should not stop taking any medications without speaking to your own respective Medical Provider and/or Mental Health Provider. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem, contact your own Medical Provider or Mental Health Provider immediately.
Personal Responsibility. I aim to accurately represent the information provided by or through the Program. You are acknowledging that you are participating voluntarily in the Proram, and you alone are solely and personally responsible for your choices, actions and results. As a clients of the Program, you acknowledge that you take full responsibility for your health, life and well-being for all decisions now and in the future.
No Guarantees. My role is to support and assist you in reaching your own health and lifestyle goals, but your success depends primarily on your own effort, motivation, commitment and follow-through. I cannot and do not guarantee that you will attain a particular result. The Program is not a weight-loss program. The Program uses a non-dieting, Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approach, which means the focus is on eating and physical activity that supports health, not weight-loss as an indicator of success. You accept and understand that results differ for each individual. Each individual’s health and wellness depends on his or her unique background, motivation and actions. As with any healthy lifestyle program, product or service, your results may vary, and will be based on many variables, including but not limited to your physical body, life experience, unique health, expertise, and level of commitment.
The information provided in the Program is for educational purposes only and is not intended to provide a medical diagnosis or substitute for individual medical, nutritional or psychological treatment. The information in the Program provides foundational information for people that would like to understand more about their struggle with emotional or disordered eating. However, we make no representations, guarantees or warranties that the information in the Program is appropriate for you or will result in improvement of your medical condition or function. The information in our Program is by no means complete or exhaustive and therefore does not apply to all conditions, disorders and health-related issues. The information and instruction in this Program is not intended to be therapy or medical advice, especially since we have not personally assessed you and prescribed treatment specific to your individual condition. Any reference to or mention of any particular diagnoses or dysfunctions is intended for informational purposes only and not an attempt to diagnose your particular problems.
Before you begin the Program, you should get medical clearance from your physician, dietitian or psychologist, if you have any medical conditions, diseases, injuries or disabilities. By purchasing this Program and embarking on the activities in it, you are assuming the risk that the activities may not be appropriate for you and may disrupt or increase your disordered eating behaviours. However, some disruption is a normal process when learning new ways of healthy eating. If this is outside what you think may be normal, it is recommended that you connect with your dietitian, counsellor or physician for further support.
The Program is not a weight-loss program. The Program uses a Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating approach, which means the focus is on eating and physical activity that supports health over weight-loss as an indicator of success.
