Disclaimer

Not Medical Advice

Support The Root, LLC, is referred to throughout this Disclaimer as “Support The Root.” The information provided by Support The Root is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician, registered dietitian, licensed therapist, or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, mental-health concern, or dietary change. Your provider’s guidance comes first. Nothing shared through Support The Root is meant to, or should, take its place or delay the medical care you seek.

Scope of Practice

Paige is a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach who completed the Health Coach Training Program at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and holds the mindbodygreen perimenopause and menopause+ Certificate of Completion. Health coaching is an educational, supportive service and does not constitute the practice of medicine, psychology, dietetics, or any other licensed healthcare profession.

Support The Root provides general, non-medical nutrition and wellness information and client-led coaching focused on sustainable habits, values, routines, reflection, and accountability. Support The Root does not provide medical nutrition therapy, individualized meal plans, supplement protocols, exercise prescriptions, or other clinical or prescriptive services. Within this practice, Support The Root does not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide clinical care of any kind.

Laboratory and hormone testing fall outside this practice. Support The Root does not order, interpret, or advise on any test or lab result. Testing and the meaning of any result remain with you and your licensed healthcare provider. Any information or suggestions shared during coaching sessions are educational in nature and are not intended to replace or interfere with medical treatment. Health coaching services are designed to complement, not replace, the care provided by your existing healthcare team. If your needs appear to fall outside the scope of health coaching, you will be encouraged to seek support from an appropriately licensed professional. Paige is a health coach and is not a licensed dietitian, nutritionist, or physician and is not presented as any of these.

No Professional Relationship

Using this website, reading its content, or contacting Support The Root through it does not create a coaching, medical, dietetic, psychological, or other professional relationship. The agreement applicable to a coaching service becomes binding when signed. For a paid service, booking or enrollment is confirmed when the required payment is successfully received.

Service Eligibility

Coaching services through Support The Root are available to adults 18 years of age and older located in the United States only. Support The Root does not provide coaching services to minors. Cross-border health coaching involves regulatory and professional considerations that fall outside the current scope of this practice.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

If you reasonably believe pregnancy or postpartum circumstances are relevant to the support you are seeking or may affect whether coaching remains appropriate within scope, please notify Support The Root promptly. This applies both before enrolling and during an active coaching engagement. Continued coaching may be possible when the work remains limited to general lifestyle habits, values, routines, and accountability.

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. Where the support you are seeking requires pregnancy-specific or postpartum-specific care, Support The Root will name that boundary before enrollment and may share general referral information where reasonably available. Support The Root may modify, pause, or end coaching when the requested support requires specialized expertise or otherwise falls outside scope. You are encouraged to seek support from an appropriately qualified provider. Continuation or termination of an existing coaching relationship will be determined under the scope-of-practice and termination provisions of your applicable signed agreement.

No Guaranteed Results

Results from health coaching differ for every person. Support The Root makes no guarantees regarding specific health outcomes, weight loss, fitness results, or any other measurable changes. Success depends on many factors including but not limited to your commitment, consistency, individual health status, and other lifestyle variables outside the control of Support The Root.

Client Responsibility

You are solely responsible for your own health decisions and outcomes. By engaging with Support The Root, you acknowledge that you are voluntarily choosing to participate in health coaching and accept full responsibility for your choices and actions. You are encouraged to consult your licensed healthcare provider for any medical concerns, before making changes to medications, or if any symptoms requiring clinical attention arise.

Testimonial Disclosure

If Support The Root publishes testimonials, success stories, or client experiences, they will reflect the individual’s own experience and will be shared with written consent. A testimonial does not guarantee that another client will achieve the same or a similar result. Support The Root will not use a testimonial to communicate a claim it could not otherwise substantiate. Any required disclosure concerning generally expected results or a material connection, including a discount, gift, compensation, or personal relationship, will appear clearly and conspicuously with the testimonial.

Third-Party Resources and External Links

Resources, books, platforms, and providers listed on the Resources page are offered as informational references only. They are not referrals, recommendations, or endorsements. Support The Root currently has no affiliation with any platform, provider, or service listed on that page unless a relationship is clearly disclosed beside the listing. Listings are based on publicly available information and may change over time. Support The Root does not control or guarantee the accuracy, availability, quality, safety, or outcomes of any third-party resource and is not responsible for decisions made based on this information. Use of any resource listed is at your own risk.

Nothing on the Resources page constitutes medical advice, a clinical referral, a diagnosis, or a recommendation to pursue any specific service or treatment. Telehealth and mental-health platforms are listed for informational reference only. Support The Root does not provide therapy and does not refer you to specific providers. Insurance coverage varies by plan and location and is subject to change, and you are encouraged to verify coverage and consult your physician before booking with any platform listed. Listing or linking to a third party does not create a clinical or patient-provider relationship between you and Support The Root or between Support The Root and that third party.

Books listed under For Personal Exploration explore territory beyond the scope of health coaching and are offered for personal reading only. They are not coaching tools, clinical resources, or part of any coaching program. Support The Root may add to, remove, modify, or rotate any resource listed at any time and at its sole discretion. You are encouraged to conduct your own research and consult qualified professionals before relying on any third-party information referenced on this website.

Product References and Material Connections

Products occasionally mentioned during coaching sessions or shared in client materials reflect Paige’s personal experience and personal opinion only and are not medical recommendations. They do not replace the guidance of your physician or another appropriately qualified healthcare provider. Support The Root currently has no affiliate, sponsorship, ambassador, or commission relationships and receives no compensation from anything referenced on this website or in client materials. If a material relationship exists in the future, it will be disclosed clearly and conspicuously where the applicable product is referenced, in compliance with Federal Trade Commission requirements.

Confidentiality and Its Limits

Personal information you share through the coaching relationship is treated as confidential. It may be disclosed with your authorization; as reasonably necessary to provide, administer, secure, or collect payment for services; to professional advisers who reasonably need the information and are subject to confidentiality obligations; as required or permitted by applicable law or legal process; or in response to a serious and reasonably imminent risk of harm to you or another person. When disclosure is necessary, Support The Root limits the information disclosed to what is reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

Support The Root is not a HIPAA-covered entity and does not represent that you receive rights under HIPAA through the coaching relationship. Support The Root nevertheless applies reasonable privacy and security practices to the information it maintains.

If you voluntarily share medical records, laboratory reports, or other health information originating from a HIPAA-covered provider, that information is treated with the same care and discretion as other personal information you share with Support The Root. Receiving that information does not, by itself, cause Support The Root to become subject to HIPAA.

Complete confidentiality and privacy terms are stated in your applicable signed agreement and the Privacy Policy.

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 ever in immediate danger, please contact 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or 911.

Session Recording

Support The Root does not record individual coaching sessions as part of its ordinary practice. A session will not be recorded unless both parties provide prior written consent describing the purpose, access, storage, and retention of the recording. You agree not to record a session by any means, including any built-in recording feature within the session platform, any third-party application, or any other device, without the prior written consent of Support The Root. Unauthorized recording may result in termination of the coaching relationship under your applicable signed agreement.

Data Security

Support The Root handles the personal information shared in the coaching relationship with care and reasonable safeguards. Coaching is delivered through Practice Better, a third-party practice-management platform operating under its own terms, privacy policy, and security practices, which Support The Root does not independently control or guarantee. The portal is used for scheduling, messaging, document delivery, and session access, and it uses security and privacy safeguards to help protect the information shared through it. Any files kept outside the portal are held privately and with limited access.

Support The Root is not a HIPAA-covered entity, does not sell personal information, and does not share it with third parties for marketing. In the event of a data incident affecting your personal information, you would be notified consistent with applicable Michigan law. Support The Root takes reasonable measures to protect personal information but cannot guarantee absolute security, and is not responsible for unauthorized access, disclosure, or use of information caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including the acts of third parties. Nothing in this section limits any obligation that cannot lawfully be limited.
