Rather, he provides education to enhance my knowledge of health as it relates to foods, dietary supplements, and behaviors associated with eating. While nutritional and botanical support can be an important complement to my medical care, I understand nutrition counseling is not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, or care of disease by a medical provider.

This information is collected to enable the Nutritionist to: (i) assess my knowledge of nutrition, (ii) educate me about the benefits of sound nutritional practices and (iii) recommend dietary changes to improve my general health, vitality and overall well-being. The Nutritionist will hold this information in confidence and will not release or disclose this information to any other person, without my prior consent, except as required by applicable law.
I expressly assume the risks of nutrition coaching sessions, including the risks of trying new foods, and the risks inherent in making lifestyle changes.
I release the Nutritionist and Young Health from any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands whatsoever, in lay or equity, which the Client ever had, now has or will have in the future against the Nutrition Coach, arising from the Client’s past or future participation in, or otherwise with respect to, the nutrition sessions, unless arising from the gross negligence of the Nutritionist.
I acknowledge the information provided to me by my Nutritionist is designed to meet my personal dietary needs. It is NOT suitable for any other individuals and will not be transferred, copied or sold to another person.
In order to benefit from the nutrition coaching, I will inform my Nutritionist of any changes I make to my diet. It is my responsibility to report any side effects or problems immediately and to make the necessary adjustments to my nutrition eating plan with my Nutritionist. I will not hold my Nutritionist responsible for any complications that result from my failure to comply with either of the above.
I warrant that I am medically fit to participate in Nutrition Coaching from my Nutritionist. I accept full responsibility for my own physical and mental health and the ways in which they may be impacted by the Programs.
