Educational Services
The Teacher agrees that it shall provide its expertise to the Student for all things pertaining to the “Educational Services” as described below:
The Student agrees to obtain educational information about health, nutrition, and certain disease conditions. The Student understands that none of the information provided is intended to cure, treat, diagnose, or help any particular health condition nor the Student‘s particular health issues. The information provided is for the Student’s own education and for informational purposes only. The Student is free to discuss any and all information provided with his or her professional health practitioner, but none of the information provided should be viewed as prescription or personal health or medical advice to the Student. In fact, it would be impossible for any of the information provided to be a prescription or personal health or medical advice because the information is general information only and Sean Golden does not know your personal and unique medical history or medical situation.
The Student understands that the information provided during or in conjunction with the online course, including dietary recommendations and/or supplement advice, is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment that can be provided by a physician, therapist, licensed dietitian or nutritionist, or any other licensed or registered health care professional. Furthermore, the Student understands that Sean Golden is NOT acting in a professional manner as is NOT providing any professional services whatsoever during any online course or through any educational materials.
The Student understands that Sean Golden is NOT acting as a medical or mental health care provider and is not providing health care, medical or nutrition therapy services or attempting to diagnose, treat, or cure in any manner whatsoever, any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. Rather, he is serving only in his capacity as a coach, educator, and guide. The Student agrees that he or she is fully aware that Dr. Sean Golden DC is a chiropractor and NOT a medical doctor. Although care has been taken in preparing the information provided to the Student, the Student agrees that Sean Golden and Golden Health Method are not responsible for any errors or omissions, and Sean Golden and Golden Health Method accept no liability whatsoever for any loss or damage the Student may incur.
The Student understands and recognizes the inherent risks associated by taking any dietary supplement, changing diets or ways of eating, or implementing new physical activity or exercise. The Student also agrees to take full responsibility for any damages, health issues, or any other consequences that occur by taking any supplement, taking any medication, changing any aspect of diet, or changing any physical activity and fully releases Sean Golden and Golden Health Method from any and all liability.
The Student understands that no claim is made as to the certain efficacy of any nutritional or supplement protocols. Additionally, the Student understands that this program may also include recommendations in regards to bringing balance to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual components of my being. These recommendations may include but are not limited to, stress reduction techniques, food modifications, supplements, and sleep hygiene. Furthermore, the Student understands that adopting any of these recommendations is voluntary and by choice and agrees to assume all risk by adopting any of the recommendations. Also, the Student is aware of and agrees that there are no guarantees as to the specific outcome or results the Student can expect from the information he or she receives from the online course or educational materials.
The Student also understands that in some cases lab testing may be recommended or discussed as well. If the Student chooses to engage in lab testing, he or she voluntarily consents to such testing and the Student fully understands and agrees that Sean Golden is NOT acting as a medical practitioner or providing medical therapy services in any way. The Student understands and agrees that lab testing results and recommendations are not attempting to diagnose, treat, or cure, in any manner whatsoever, any disease, condition or other physical or mental ailment of the human body. Rather, the Student understands and agrees that the lab testing results are for purely educational and informative purposes.
The Student expressly assumes the risks of implementing any of the information provided during the online course and other educational material, fully aware that it is not medical advice, and takes full responsibility for his or her life and well-being and all decisions made during and after the online course and educational materials.
The Student agrees to seek the advice of his or her physician or another qualified health care professional prior to and after the online course and educational materials regarding any questions or concerns the Student has about his or her specific health situation, possible or actual pregnancy, known or suspected food sensitivities or allergies, dietary restrictions, supplement recommendation, or any medications the Student is currently taking. The Student agrees to not disregard professional medical advice, delay seeking professional advice, stop taking any medications, or start taking any nutritional supplements without speaking to his or her physician or health care professional.
The Student agrees that he or she has been informed and understands that physical exercise, food modifications, or supplements have been associated with certain risks, including but not limited to, musculoskeletal injury, spinal injuries, abnormal blood pressure responses, liver or other organ damage, respiratory distress, and in rare instances heart attack or death. Every effort is made to minimize these inherent risks.
In the event that the Student may injure himself or herself or become ill as a result of his or her implementation of any suggestions or information received during the online course or educational materials, the Student hereby releases, discharges, and waives any and all liability, damages, causes of action, allegations, suits, sums of money, claims and demands which the Student has ever had, now have, and could have in the future against Sean Golden and/or Golden Health Method, arising from my participation in or implementation of anything related to the online course or educational materials, now or in the future.
I have carefully read this document and by signing below I consent to all parts of it. I understand that by signing this release, I voluntarily surrender certain legal rights.
