Forgiving Endo LLC Holistic Health Coaching Disclaimer
The role of the Health Coach is not to prescribe or assess specific meal plans; provide healthcare, medical, or nutrition therapy services; or diagnose, treat, or cure any disease, condition, or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. The Coach is a mentor and guide who’s been trained in health coaching and behavioral change to help clients reach their own health goals by helping clients devise and implement positive, sustainable lifestyle changes.
The Coach is not acting in the capacity of a doctor, dietitian, nutritionist, psychologist, psychotherapist, or other licensed or registered professional, and that the Program is not intended to replace services performed by any professional.
If Client is under the care of healthcare professionals, the Client should discuss any dietary changes or potential dietary supplement use with those professionals. If the Client currently uses prescription medications, the Client should not discontinue any prescription medications without first consulting the Client’s prescribing healthcare provider.
The Client has chosen to work with the Coach and agrees that coaching services, including any information or resources received, are not medical advice nor meant to replace services delivered by licensed health professionals.
The coach is not operating as a licensed physician or psychologist, and the scope of the consultation services does not include treatment or diagnosis of specific illnesses or disorders. If I, the client, suspect I may have an ailment or illness that may require medical attention, then it is my responsibility to consult with a licensed physician immediately. Only a licensed physician can prescribe drugs.
Any mention of drugs or supplements in the course of consultation is only for the purpose of providing a complete history of drugs and supplements that the client is taking and not for the Coach to judge the appropriateness of the medication or supplements. Any change in prescription or dosage is a decision the client makes with her physician.
Rather than dealing with treatment of disease, the Coach focuses on wellness and prevention of illness through the use of non-toxic, natural nutritional science-based strategies to achieve optimal health. As an integrative nutrition health coach, the Coach primarily educates and motivates clients to assume more personal responsibility for their health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle, and diet.
While people generally experience greater health and wellness as a result of embracing a healthier attitude, lifestyle, and diet, the Coach does not promise or guarantee protection from future illness.
By working with Forgiving Endo or Coach Shannon Smith in any capacity, even a free consultation call, you acknowledge that you understand that the Coach is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and not a physician, and that you should see a doctor if you think you have a medical condition. The Coach is not a trained clinician and does not treat or diagnose illnesses, nor does she prescribe medication. The Coach will not be held liable for failure to diagnose or treat an illness, nor will she be liable for failure to prevent future illness(es).
