You acknowledge that I am supporting you in my role exclusively as a Certified Natural Foods Personal Chef and Holistic Health Coach only. I provide information and services concerning, but not limited to, the maximizing of human health and optimizing wellness.

 Not Medical, Mental Health, or Spiritual Advice.  The information contained in this website or provided through our blog, e-mails, videos, programs, services or products is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment that can be provided by your own physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, therapist, mental health practitioner, licensed dietitian or nutritionist, spiritual counselor, or any other licensed or registered health care professional.  In this capacity as a Certified Natural Foods Chef (for Personal and/or Meal Delivery) and Holistic Health Coach, we are not holding ourselves out to be medical health practitioners including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, mental health providers including psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, counselors, or social workers, or spiritual counselors.  We are not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services or attempting to diagnose, treat or cure in any manner whatsoever any physical ailment, or any mental or emotional issue, disease or condition. Rather, we serve as coaches, educators, mentors and guides who help you reach your own health and wellness goals through implementing incremental, positive, healthy, sustainable lifestyle changes.

 Consult Your Physician or Health Care Provider. Our intent is NOT to replace any relationship that exists, or should exist, between you and your doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, mental health practitioner, spiritual counselor, or other health care professional. Always seek the advice of your physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, mental health provider, or another health care professional regarding any questions or concerns you have about your specific health situation, including but not limited to physical or mental health issues, possible or actual pregnancy, known or suspected food sensitivities or allergies, inflammatory conditions, dietary restrictions, or any medications you are currently taking.  We advise you to speak with your own physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and/or your own mental health provider before implementing any suggestions from our website, blog, e-mails, videos, menus, programs, services and/or products about lifestyle, food, vitamins or supplements; engaging in an elimination diet, detox or cleanse; meditation or deep breathing exercises; or participating in any other aspect of a healthy eating and/or lifestyle program. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking professional advice because of information you have read on this website or received from us. Do not stop taking any medications without speaking to your physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, mental health provider or other health care professional. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem, contact your own health care provider promptly.
