Disclaimer
Clear boundaries make for better coaching.
Overview
This Disclaimer explains what health coaching through Support The Root is, what it is not, and the boundaries that keep it safe and honest. It works alongside the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy, and coaching services themselves are governed by the agreement signed for the applicable service.
Health Coaching Is Not Medical Care
Health coaching through Support The Root is educational and collaborative. It does not constitute medical advice and does not diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or manage any disease or medical condition. It is not a substitute for care by a licensed medical or mental-health professional.

Scope of Practice
Health coaching through Support The Root is educational and supportive and does not constitute the practice of medicine, psychology, dietetics, or any other licensed healthcare profession. Key scope boundaries include:
- Laboratory and hormone testing fall outside this practice. Support The Root does not order, interpret, or advise on any test or lab result.
- Hormone therapy, including hormone replacement therapy, is a personal medical decision that remains with you and your licensed healthcare provider.
- Decisions to begin, change, or stop any medication remain with you and your prescribing provider and fall outside the scope of this coaching.
- General supplement topics may be discussed for informational purposes only. Support The Root does not recommend, prescribe, or endorse any supplement or brand.
- Support The Root does not provide individualized meal plans, supplement protocols, medical nutrition therapy, or exercise prescriptions.
- Support for stress and emotional wellbeing is offered as general health and wellness coaching, not as therapy, counseling, or mental-health treatment.
- Support The Root does not provide treatment for eating disorders or disordered eating.
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Support The Root does not provide pregnancy-specific or postpartum-specific coaching, prenatal or postpartum nutrition care, exercise prescription, symptom assessment, or other specialized support outside the practice's training and scope. Continued coaching may be possible when the work remains limited to general lifestyle habits, values, routines, accountability, and implementation of decisions made with licensed healthcare providers.
Website Use Does Not Create a Coaching Relationship
Using this website, reading its content, or contacting Support The Root does not create a coaching relationship. A coaching relationship is governed by the agreement signed for the applicable service. Program enrollment is confirmed when the required initial payment is successfully received.
Service Eligibility
Support The Root provides coaching services only to adults 18 years of age or older located in the United States. Availability in a particular jurisdiction remains subject to applicable requirements and the agreement governing the service.
Client Responsibility
You are responsible for your own decisions, actions, and participation throughout the coaching process. Any lifestyle, food, movement, or wellness changes discussed during coaching are undertaken voluntarily and at your own discretion. Please consult your licensed healthcare provider for any medical concerns or if you experience symptoms requiring clinical attention. Decisions to begin, change, or stop any medication remain with you and your prescribing provider and fall outside the scope of this coaching. Nothing in this section transfers responsibility to you for conduct that falls outside Support The Root's stated scope, limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, or excuses Support The Root from its obligations under the applicable signed agreement or applicable law.
No Guaranteed Results
No program promises or guarantees a particular goal, relief of a symptom, alteration of hormone levels, improvement of a medical condition, weight loss, or any other specific outcome. Results vary and are influenced by factors outside Support The Root's control, including your participation, health status, medical care, and circumstances.
Third-Party Information and Resources
Resources, studies, books, products, or professionals referenced by Support The Root are offered for general educational purposes only. A reference does not constitute a prescription, endorsement, guarantee of suitability, or individualized clinical recommendation. You remain responsible for evaluating any information independently and, where relevant or for matters outside scope, consulting an appropriately licensed professional.
Testimonials
If Support The Root publishes testimonials or client experiences, they reflect the individual's own experience, shared with consent, and do not guarantee that another client will achieve the same or a similar result.
Material Connections
Support The Root currently receives no affiliate commission, referral fee, sponsorship compensation, ambassador compensation, or other material financial benefit from products, services, or professionals referenced on this website or during coaching. If that changes, the relationship will be disclosed clearly and conspicuously where the reference occurs.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Personal information shared in the coaching relationship is handled with care and reasonable safeguards. Support The Root is not a HIPAA-covered entity and does not represent that you receive rights under HIPAA through the coaching relationship. How information is collected and used is described in the Privacy Policy, and confidentiality terms for coaching are stated in the agreement governing the applicable service.
Not a Crisis Service
Health coaching is for general wellness support and is not a crisis or emergency service. Messages are not monitored continuously. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing an emergency, call 911. If you are experiencing a mental-health or emotional crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).
