Disclaimer
Effective Date: April 25,2025
PositivelyAndi™ is dedicated to empowering you with information and support on your health journey. However, it's important to understand the limits of our advice and the nature of our services. This Disclaimer explains the limitations of our services: the content and guidance provided by PositivelyAndi™ are for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional advice or treatment. By using our website or services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Disclaimer.
Not Medical or Professional Advice
All information presented by PositivelyAndi™ — whether on our website, blog, social media, emails, or through our coaching services — is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice and should not be treated as such.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship: Engaging with our content or coaching does not create a doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship. PositivelyAndi™ provides health coaching and mentoring, not medical care. Always remember that.
Consult Healthcare Professionals: You should always consult with a qualified physician or healthcare provider before making any changes to your diet, exercise routine, medication regimen, or overall health plan. Each individual’s health situation is unique, and a professional can give you advice tailored to your specific needs.
Do Not Ignore Medical Advice: Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking medical treatment because of something you have read on our site or discussed during coaching. If you have an urgent medical condition or emergency, please contact a healthcare professional immediately (for example, call your doctor or emergency services).
Health Questions and Concerns: If you have specific health concerns (like a medical condition, pregnancy, chronic illness, etc.), seek guidance from your doctor or a licensed medical practitioner before following any suggestions from PositivelyAndi™. We cannot diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or address serious health issues through our coaching.
Personal Responsibility: You acknowledge that you are making your own decisions regarding your health and lifestyle. While we provide guidance to the best of our knowledge, you are responsible for how you implement that information. Use common sense: if something we suggest doesn't feel right, or if you experience discomfort or adverse effects, stop and consult a professional.
No Guarantees of Results
We truly believe in the potential of our coaching and tips to improve your well-being, but we cannot guarantee any specific results or outcomes from using our services or following our advice.
Individual Results Vary: Every person is different. Outcomes can depend on many factors including your starting health condition, genetics, effort, consistency, and external factors. What works well for one person might not work the same way for another.
Testimonials and Success Stories: Any success stories or testimonials provided on our site or by our clients are genuine but are individual experiences. They are not promises that you will achieve the same results. They are meant to inspire and illustrate what is possible.
No "Magic" Solutions: PositivelyAndi™ does not claim to have any magic cures or quick fixes. Sustainable health improvements take time and effort. We support and guide you, but you still must do the work. There are no guarantees in health or wellness, and we urge you to be wary of anyone who claims otherwise.
Your Effort Matters: The success of any coaching program or health advice largely depends on your commitment and follow-through. We will give you tools and encouragement, but it's up to you to apply them.
Fitness and Nutrition Content
PositivelyAndi™ may provide guidance related to fitness, nutrition, or other wellness activities. Please understand the following:
Know Your Limits: Any exercise or dietary suggestions we provide should be adjusted to fit your personal fitness level and dietary needs. If an exercise or diet change we recommend causes pain, dizziness, or significant discomfort, stop immediately and consult a professional. Listen to your body and go at your own pace.
Assumption of Risk: Participating in physical exercise or changing your diet carries inherent risks. By following our fitness or nutrition advice, you assume all risks of injury, illness, or other outcomes. PositivelyAndi™ is not responsible for any injuries or health issues you may experience as a result of implementing workouts, recipes, or lifestyle changes we discuss. Be especially cautious if you have pre-existing health conditions or have been sedentary, and get clearance from a doctor.
No Ongoing Monitoring: We do not monitor your day-to-day execution of workouts or meals. It's up to you to practice safely. If you ever feel that a recommended activity is too challenging or not appropriate, you have the right to modify or skip it. Safety first!
Nutritional Information: Any nutritional information or calorie suggestions we provide are estimates or general guidelines. They are not tailored dietary prescriptions. For personalized diet plans or medical nutrition therapy, consult a registered dietitian or healthcare provider.
Not Evaluated by the FDA
From time to time, we might discuss nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, or health products, or make general statements about health benefits. It’s important you know:
No FDA Evaluation: The statements and products (if any) mentioned on the PositivelyAndi™ platform have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Any information or recommendations are based on our own experience or research, not an official governmental review.
Not Meant to Treat or Prevent Disease: Content on our site is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. For example, if we say "X tea is great for energy," understand that this is a general wellness tip, not a medical claim that it will cure fatigue or any condition.
Due Diligence: Always do your own research or consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement or remedy, especially if you are taking other medications or have health conditions. What’s natural isn’t always safe for everyone (e.g., certain supplements can interact with prescriptions).
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Recommendations
PositivelyAndi™ may occasionally recommend products, books, or other services that we believe could be beneficial for you. Some of these recommendations might involve third-party links or affiliate partnerships.
Transparency on Affiliate Links: If a link is an affiliate link (meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through it), we will do our best to clearly mark or mention that. There is no extra cost to you if you use an affiliate link. We only partner with products or services that align with our values and that we would genuinely recommend.
Honest Recommendations: Whether a recommendation is affiliate-related or not, our priority is to suggest things that may add value to your wellness journey. We base suggestions on our own positive experiences or careful consideration. However, we encourage you to exercise your own judgment and research. What works for us or others may not necessarily work for you.
No Responsibility for Third Parties: If you choose to purchase a product or service based on our recommendation, any resulting relationship is between you and that third-party provider. PositivelyAndi™ is not responsible for any issues that arise from those products or services. For example, if we recommend a particular brand of supplement and you experience an issue with it, you would need to address that with the manufacturer or seller, not with PositivelyAndi™.
No Endorsement Warranty: Mention of third-party companies or products does not mean we officially endorse or guarantee them. Please use third-party products at your own risk and follow the manufacturer’s or provider’s instructions.
Educational Purpose and Personal Accountability
Everything offered by PositivelyAndi™ — from blog articles to coaching conversations — is meant to educate, inspire, and motivate you to make positive changes. That said, your health and success are ultimately in your own hands:
Use Your Judgment: The information we provide should be used wisely and in conjunction with your own judgment and intuition. You know yourself best. If something doesn't seem applicable to you, you are not obligated to follow it. We sometimes provide general advice that may not fit every individual perfectly.
Personal Accountability: By using our site and services, you agree that you are responsible for any actions you take based on the information provided. PositivelyAndi™ will not be held liable for the choices you make. For example, if you decide to try an elimination diet based on our blog post and you don't feel well, you accept that you made that choice and will take appropriate action (like stopping the diet or seeing a doctor) on your own responsibility.
Use at Your Own Risk: In summary, using the information or suggestions from PositivelyAndi™ is at your own risk. We present what we know and believe to be helpful, but we cannot oversee how you apply it in real life. We advise that you proceed with caution, self-awareness, and when in doubt, seek professional guidance.
