Effective date: January 1, 2026

Terms of Service

 

NTP Informed Consent 

Before you choose to use the services of a Nutritional Therapist, please read the following information FULLY AND CAREFULLY.

GOAL:  Our basic goal is to encourage people to become knowledgeable about and responsible for their own health, and to bring it to a personal optimum level.  Nutritional therapy is designed to improve your health, but is not designed to treat any specific disease or medical condition.  Reaching the goal of optimum health, absent other non-nutritional complicating factors, requires a sincere commitment from you, possible lifestyle changes, and a positive attitude.  A Nutritional Therapist is trained to evaluate your nutritional needs and make recommendations of dietary change and nutritional supplements.  A Nutritional Therapist is not trained to provide medical diagnoses, and no comment or recommendation should be construed as being a medical diagnosis.  Since every human being is unique, we cannot guarantee any specific result from our programs.

HEALTH CONCERNS:  If you suffer from a medical or pathological condition, you need to consult with an appropriate healthcare provider. A Nutritional Therapist is not a substitute for your family physician or other appropriate healthcare provider.  A Nutritional Therapist is not trained nor licensed to diagnose or treat pathological conditions, illnesses, injuries, or diseases.

If you are under the care of another healthcare provider, it is important that you contact your other healthcare providers and alert them to your use of nutritional supplements.  Nutritional therapy may be a beneficial adjunct to more traditional care, and it may also alter your need for medication, so it is important you always keep your physician informed of changes in your nutritional program.

If you are using medications of any kind, you are required to alert the Nutritional Therapist to such use, as well as to discuss any potential interactions between medications and nutritional products with your pharmacist.

If you have any physical or emotional reaction to nutritional therapy, discontinue their use immediately, and contact your Nutritional Therapist to ascertain if the reaction is adverse or an indication of the natural course of the body's adjustment to the therapy.

COMMUNICATION:  Every client is an individual, and it is not possible to determine in advance how your system will react to the supplements you need.  It is sometimes necessary to adjust your program as we proceed until your body can begin to properly accept products geared to correct the imbalance.  It is your responsibility to do your part by using your nutrition guidelines, exercise your body and mind sufficiently to bring your emotions into a positive balance, eat a proper diet, get plenty of rest, and learn about nutrition.  You must stay in contact with the Nutritional Therapist so we can let you know what is happening and the best course of action.

You should request your other healthcare provider, if any, to feel free to contact the Nutritional Therapist for answers to any questions they may have regarding nutritional therapy.

LICENSURE.   A Nutritional Therapist is not licensed or certified by any state.  However, a Nutritional

Therapy Practitioner™ is trained by the Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.® which provides a certificate of completion to students who have successfully met all course requirements, including a written and practical exam.  A license to practice Nutritional Therapy is not required in some states.  Laws and regulations regarding certification and licensure requirements differ from state to state.

By my/our signature(s) below, I/we confirm that I/we have read and fully understand the above disclaimer, are in complete agreement thereto and do freely and without duress sign and consent to all terms contained herein.

 

Terms of Service - Laboratory Testing

Introduction

It is common practice for naturopaths, nutritionists and other non-licensed practitioners to collect your signature on a form such as this. By doing so you acknowledge and accept that we:

  • are not medically qualified;
  • are not a substitute for advice from a qualified doctor;
  • recommend that you consult your doctor before making any changes to your diet or exercise regime or taking any dietary supplement;
  • do not warrant the accuracy of any information provided;
  • are not liable for any losses you may suffer by relying on our advice;
  • do not recommend any particular product;
  • are not a covered entity or a business associate of a covered entity under HIPAA.

By your checking the box to the Terms of Service/Program Agreement, and/or by instructing us to provide advice and services to you, you indicate your agreement to these terms.

What we do and do not do

We obtain a set of laboratory test results from certified laboratories in the United States and provide you with a nutritional interpretation of those test results that you can use exclusively as an educational tool for personal health purposes.

Your doctor may use the same test results to diagnose and treat disease, but we do not do this. The information we provide is not intended to, cannot, and should not be expected to be a substitute for a personal consultation with your own qualified doctor. We do not accept any liability for any failure to identify any medical condition or disease; this is not the purpose of our services.

We may provide you with information relating to products that we believe might benefit you, but such information is not to be taken as an endorsement or recommendation. Some such products may not be available without 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 affects or consequences that may result, either directly or indirectly, from that information.

We will make reasonable effort to protect the privacy of your medical information that is shared with us, including any medical test results. However, that information is not protected 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.

You should consult your doctor:

  •   for any medical interpretation of your test results;
  •   on any matter relating to your health and well-being;
  •   before making any changes to your exercise or diet;
  •   before taking any nutritional, herbal, homeopathic or hormonal supplementation;
  •   before beginning any therapy.

Exclusion of warranties

We will provide our services to you with reasonable care and skill. But we make no other warranty, express or implied, with respect to those services. All other warranties are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.

We make no warranty as to the accuracy of the laboratory test results we receive.

We make no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the quality or effectiveness of any diagnosis, apparatus, treatment or product. In no event will we be liable for any physical or mental injury, or any negative side effects, that may arise from the use of any such diagnosis, apparatus, treatment or product.

We believe that the information we provide, including that on our web sites, brochures, 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, you do so at your own risk. 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 react 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 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;
  •   any and all liability for any failure to identify any medical condition or disease. You understand and agree that this is not the purpose of our services.

This is a comprehensive limitation of liability that applies to all damages of any kind, including (without limitation) compensatory, direct, indirect or consequential damages, loss of data, income or profit, loss of or damage to property and claims of third parties.

No recommendation

All material and information we may provide about products and therapies is provided solely for educational purposes and for use when discussing your health with your doctor. By providing you with such material and information, we do not necessarily endorse, recommend or promote any such product or therapy.

 

Coaching Session Cancellations

Your coaching session time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the nutritionist's day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, may be subject to forfeit their session.

I am aware of the Cancellation Policy.

 

Yoga

Liz Voosen Wellness LLC advises that you consult your physician regarding the applicability of any recommendations and follow all safety instructions before beginning any exercise session or program. When participating in any exercise, there is the possibility of physical injury. If you engage in this exercise, you agree that you do so at your own risk, are voluntarily participating in these activities, and assume all risk of injury to yourself.
