What We Do and Do Not Do

We do not accept any liability for any failure to identify any medical condition or disease, as this is not the purpose of our services.

We may provide you with information about products that we believe might benefit you, but such information is not to be taken as an endorsement or recommendation. Some products may require a prescription, but we do not dispense or prescribe any prescription products. The information provided is intended for educational purposes only and should not be taken as professional medical advice or used as a substitute for medical care. We are not responsible for any adverse effects or consequences that may result, either directly or indirectly, from that information.

We will make a reasonable effort to protect the privacy of your medical information that is shared with us, including any lab test results. However, that information is not covered by doctor-patient confidentiality, nor is it governed by HIPAA.

Consult Your Doctor 

We are not qualified medical advisors and make no claims to be so. The information we provide should not be taken to be and is not a substitute for personal medical advice and instruction. You should not take any action based solely on our advice or guidance.

You should consult your doctor: 

  • For any medical interpretation of your lab test results

We believe that the information we provide, including that on our websites, videos, postings, brochures, emails, flyers, and information packets, is accurate, but we cannot guarantee such accuracy.  We, therefore, make no warranty as to the accuracy of that information, and it should not be relied upon as being correct, complete, or accurate. It is your responsibility to verify such matters independently from primary sources of information and by taking specific professional advice.

Exclusion of Liability

If you rely on, buy, or use a product or therapy or modality, you do so at your own risk. We do not guarantee any results as we have no control over those results. Each person is different, and the way someone reacts to a product or therapy may be significantly different from another. We cannot predict how you may respond to any particular product or therapy.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude:

  • Any and all liability in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential costs, losses, claims, damages, expenses or proceedings (including but not limited to loss of profits and wasted management time) incurred or suffered by you arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection with our services, including but not limited to any loss, damage or expense arising from any defect, error, imperfection, fault, mistake or inaccuracy with the information, education or advice we provide;
  • Any and all liability for injury or loss arising out of the use of, or reliance on, the laboratory results and/or the dietary, supplement, and lifestyle suggestions we may provide
  • Any and all liability for injury or loss arising from any product or treatment you may choose to take
