All information posted on the Site is for general information and educational purposes only for your own personal, noncommercial use. We make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, suitability, availability or completeness with respect to any information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Site for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is strictly at your own risk.

No Medical Advice, Diagnosis or Treatment Disclaimer
Pure Path provides education, support, and guidance in holistic wellness approaches, focusing on lifestyle, nutrition, and natural health strategies. However, it is essential to understand that a certification in integrative health practices and training does not qualify Pure Path or its practitioner(s) to perform the duties of a licensed medical professional. We, including our certified integrative health practitioner(s), do not hold ourselves out as a medical doctor, nurse practitioner, physician's assistant, therapist or any other type of licensed healthcare provider.
The scope of Our practice focuses on educating our visitors and clients about holistic health principles, providing guidance on nutrition and lifestyle modifications, and suggesting natural approaches to support overall well-being. This may include recommending dietary changes, discussing stress management techniques, suggesting appropriate exercise regimens, or providing information about complementary therapies. These recommendations and advice are general in nature and should never be viewed, relied upon or considered as medical advice or as a substitute for the medical advice, care or treatment of licensed healthcare professionals. Any changes to your health regimen, including alterations to diet, exercise routines, or the use of supplements, should always be discussed with and approved by your primary care physician or specialist, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medications. We do not and cannot provide medical diagnoses or rule out serious health conditions. Any persistent or concerning symptoms should be addressed by your licensed healthcare provider who can perform a proper medical assessment and provide appropriate treatment. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on Our Site, in Our social media accounts, or in any of Our emails, newsletters or blogs that We send you. Our services are not intended to replace regular medical check-ups or preventive care from licensed healthcare providers.
By using the Site, booking a consultation, and/or purchasing any of Our wellness service packages, you acknowledge your understanding of these limitations and agree not to rely on any recommendations or advice We provide as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You accept full responsibility for your health decisions and agree to consult with licensed medical professionals for any health concerns or before making significant changes to your health regimen.
Emergency Situations
If you experience a medical emergency or acute health issue, immediately contact your doctor or emergency services by dialing 911. We are not equipped to handle urgent medical situations and should not be relied upon in such cases.
Minors Disclaimer
Our wellness service packages are not intended for individuals under the age of 18 without parental or legal guardian consent. We require the consent of a minor’s parent or legal guardian to book an initial consultation and for purchases of Our wellness service packages. Parents or legal guardians should consult with pediatric healthcare providers before implementing any of Our recommendations for minors.
Telehealth Services Disclaimer
The quality and effectiveness of telehealth sessions may be impacted by technical issues beyond Our control, including, but not limited to, internet connectivity, audio/video quality, or software malfunctions. We are not responsible for any loss of quality or interruption of service due to these factors. You are responsible for providing the necessary technology (phone, computer, internet connection, etc.) for the telehealth session. We will provide instructions on how to access the video conferencing platform if applicable. If technical issues prevent the start or the completion of a session, We will work with you to reschedule or find an alternative solution.
While We use reasonable efforts to protect your privacy during telehealth sessions, We cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted over the internet, Wi-Fi networks or cellular networks. You are responsible for ensuring the privacy and security of your own environment during telehealth sessions. This includes using a secure internet connection and conducting the session in a private location where others cannot overhear. By participating in a telehealth session, you consent to the electronic transmission of your personal health information over the internet for video consultations and cellular networks for phone consultations. You have the right to withhold or withdraw your consent at any time.
At-Home Lab Tests Disclaimer
As a Level II Certified Integrative Health Practitioner, Our practitioner is qualified to order and interpret at-home functional laboratory tests, including those for minerals, metals, candida metabolic markers, vitamins, food sensitivities, omega-3 levels, metabolism indicators, and stress and mood markers. These tests and their interpretations are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Rather, these tests are tools to assess certain aspects of your nutritional and metabolic status, which may inform lifestyle and dietary recommendations. While Our practitioner is certified to interpret these specific tests, she is not and does not hold herself out as a licensed medical professional, and her interpretation is based on functional health perspectives and should not be considered a medical diagnosis. Any changes to your diet, lifestyle, or supplement regimen based on these test results should be discussed with your primary care physician, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications. The results of these tests should be used in conjunction with, not as a replacement for, regular medical check-ups and evaluations by licensed healthcare providers. Test results should not be used as the sole basis for health decisions. If any test results indicate potential health concerns, We will advise you to consult with your doctor or other licensed medical professional for further evaluation and treatment. By agreeing to having these tests performed, you acknowledge your understanding of these points and agree to use the information responsibly in conjunction with proper medical care.
Personal Responsibility
You agree to provide Us accurate, complete, and truthful information about you, whether through the Site, during consultations, or in any other communication. This includes, but not is not limited to, disclosing any existing medical conditions, allergies, medications or other health-related factors that may impact the safety, suitability, or efficacy of Our recommendations. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible and fully assume all decisions regarding your health and well-being.
Assumption of Risk
As with all situations, sometimes there are unknown individual risks and circumstances that can arise during your receipt of Our recommendations, coaching and wellness services that cannot be reasonably foreseen and can influence or reduce results. You understand that any recommendations, suggestions or advice We make is taken at your own initiative and sole risk and agree that We will not be responsible or liable in any way to you, it being expressly understood by you that there is a rare chance that illness, injury or even death could result of which you agree to assume all risks. You agree to promptly report any discomfort, health concerns or adverse reactions to both Us and your medical doctor or other licensed healthcare provider.
Supplements and Products Disclaimer
We may recommend various dietary supplements, herbal products, or other natural health aids. Any supplements and products We recommend are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not evaluated or approved these products for medical use, and they should not be considered as substitutes for prescription medications or professional medical treatment. Bear in mind that supplements can interact with medications, including over-the-counter drugs, prescription pharmaceuticals, and other supplements. These interactions may enhance or diminish the effects of medications, potentially leading to adverse reactions or reduced efficacy of your prescribed treatments. For this reason, it is essential that you inform your healthcare provider(s), including your primary care physician and any specialists you see, about all supplements and products you are taking or considering. If you experience any adverse reactions or unexpected symptoms after starting a new supplement or product, discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare professional. By using any supplements or products that We recommend, you acknowledge these points and agree to use them responsibly, in conjunction with professional medical advice, and at your sole risk.
Results Disclaimer
It is important to understand that results can vary significantly from person to person. We cannot and do not guarantee specific results from Our wellness coaching and support services, recommendations, or suggested practices. Each individual's body, health history, lifestyle, and circumstances are unique, and what works well for one person may not produce the same results for another. Your outcomes may be influenced by various factors beyond Our control, including your overall health condition, consistency in following recommendations, lifestyle factors, environmental influences, genetic predispositions, and any concurrent medical treatments or medications. The time it takes to notice changes can vary widely, and in some cases, some individuals may not experience any noticeable improvements despite adhering to recommendations. Any positive changes experienced may be temporary and could reverse if practices are not maintained. Always monitor your body's response and discontinue any practice that causes discomfort or product adverse effects. Our wellness services are designed to complement, not replace, conventional medical care, and the best results often come from a collaborative approach with your healthcare providers. Your engagement, commitment, and follow-through with recommendations play a crucial role in any outcomes you may experience. We encourage open communication about your progress and will work with you to adjust recommendations as needed. By engaging Our wellness coaching and support services, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these points regarding potential results.
Pregnancy and Specific Conditions Disclaimer
The recommendations and practices offered through Our wellness service packages require special consideration for individuals with specific health conditions, particularly those who are pregnant or nursing. The unique physiological changes during pregnancy and the potential impact on fetal development necessitate extreme caution with any health interventions, including dietary changes, supplements, or wellness practices.
If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing, it is crucial that you inform Us of your condition before engaging in any of Our recommended practices. Many herbs, supplements, and even certain dietary regimens that are generally considered safe may pose risks during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Some practices that are beneficial for non-pregnant individuals might be contraindicated during pregnancy or for specific health conditions. Always consult your obstetrician or pediatrician before making any changes.
Equally, if you have any diagnosed medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer, or any other chronic or acute health issues, it is essential that you disclose this information. Certain health conditions may interact unpredictably with integrative health practices or may require modifications to ensure safety and efficacy.
Additionally, if you are taking any medications, whether prescription or over-the-counter, this information is vital. Many natural supplements and practices can interact with medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or causing adverse reactions. This includes blood thinners, antidepressants, hormone therapies, and many other common medications.
Our recommendations are general in nature and not tailored to specific medical conditions or pharmaceutical regimens. Therefore, it is imperative that you consult with your licensed healthcare provider, such as your obstetrician, primary care physician, or specialist, before implementing any of Our recommendations. They are best equipped to evaluate the potential risks and benefits in the context of your individual health profile and can provide guidance on what is safe and appropriate for your specific situation. We strongly advise against discontinuing or altering any prescribed medical treatments without explicit approval from your healthcare provider. Our wellness services are meant to complement, not replace, conventional medical care, especially for those with complex health needs or during pregnancy.
By purchasing a Pure Path wellness service package, you acknowledge your understanding on the importance of professional medical oversight, particularly in cases of pregnancy or specific health conditions. You are responsible for seeking, and agree to seek, appropriate medical advice before acting on any of Our recommendations and to inform Us of any relevant health conditions or medications.
Research and Evidence Disclaimer
The field of integrative health encompasses a wide range of practices and approaches, some of which have been extensively studied, while others have limited scientific research. Our certified integrative health practitioner strives provide recommendations based on the best available evidence, but it's important to understand the nature and limitations of this evidence. Some of the recommended approaches are rooted in traditional healing systems that have been used for centuries but may lack rigorous scientific validation by modern standards. Other recommendations may be based on emerging research, preliminary studies, or evolving understanding in the field of holistic health. Not all suggested wellness practices have been subject to large-scale, controlled clinical trials, which are considered the gold standard in medical research. The scientific understanding of many integrative health practices is ongoing and evolving. What we know today may be refined or even contradicted by future research.
Additionally, the complex and individualized nature of integrative health approaches can make them challenging to study using conventional research methodologies. In many cases, the evidence may be limited to anecdotal reports, case studies, or small-scale trials. Some recommendations may be based on theoretical benefits or extrapolations from related research rather than direct, conclusive studies. Even when research supports a particular approach, individual responses can vary significantly. What works well for a majority in a study may not work for everyone in practice. We encourage you to approach all recommendations with a critical mind, ask questions, and make informed decisions in consultation with your qualified, licensed healthcare providers.
By purchasing a Pure Path wellness service package, you acknowledge your understanding that there are varying levels of evidence behind integrative health practices and accept that not all recommendations are backed by extensive clinical research. We strongly encourage you to discuss any new health practices with your licensed medical professionals, especially if you have existing health conditions or are taking medications.
