DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
You (sometimes referred to herein as “Client”) understand that the training and coaching received from me (sometimes referred to herein as “Coach”) in connection with the Program or otherwise should not be seen as medical, nursing or nutrition advice and is certainly not meant to take the place of your seeing licensed health professionals, including your doctor.
“Coach” is not a physicians or psychologist, and the scope of his/her 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 in the course of consultation is only for the purpose of providing a complete history of drugs that the client is taking and not for “Coach” to judge the appropriateness of the medication. Any change in prescription or dosage is a decision the client makes with his or her physician.
Rather than dealing with treatment of disease ”Coach” focuses on wellness and prevention of illness through the use of fitness/movement to achieve optimal health. As a certified transformational life coaches and certified health and fitness coaches, “Coach primarily educates and motivates clients to assume more personal responsibility for their health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle, fitness, and diet.
You understand and agree that (i) I am not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services and will not diagnose, treat or cure in any manner whatsoever, any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body, (ii) I am not acting in the capacity of a doctor, licensed dietician-nutritionist, massage therapist, psychologist or other licensed or registered professional, and (iii) you have chosen to work with me and participate in the Program voluntarily.
As your Coach, I encourage you to maintain a relationship with your primary care physician or doctor. In the event that you do not have one and/or do not have routine physicals, I encourage you to do so. Do not discontinue or change any treatment plan that you may be on as a result of our sessions without discussing the change with your doctor.
While people generally experience greater health and wellness as a result of embracing a healthier attitude, lifestyle, and diet, and fitness “Coach” does not promise or guarantee results achieved nor protection from future illness.
