Health coaching disclaimer

1. What this practice is

Susan Earl Functional Health is an online health coaching and education practice operated by Susan Earl, RN. We help people understand what may be driving how they feel and build practical, personalized health habits across several areas, including cardiovascular health, energy, metabolism, digestion, hormonal health, cognitive health, stress, and movement.

Coaching and education only. Not medical care, diagnosis, treatment, or prescribing.

2. What this practice is not

Nothing on this website, and nothing in any session, handout, worksheet, recording, email, or group call, is medical advice. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Nothing here creates a provider-patient relationship between you and Susan Earl or Susan Earl Functional Health.

You should not use this website or our materials as a substitute for the advice of a licensed healthcare provider. You should not start, stop, or change any medication or treatment based on anything you read or hear here.

3. Your own providers remain your care

Your medical care belongs to your own providers, and that does not change when you work with us. Keep your appointments, keep taking your medicines as prescribed, and get your tests and follow-ups as your providers direct.

Where a question is about your diagnosis, your medication, your dosage, whether a treatment is working, what a result means for your treatment, or what activity is safe for you, that question belongs to your provider. We will say so, and we will help you prepare to ask it well.

4. Emergencies

This website is not monitored continuously and must never be used for anything urgent. If you have chest pain or pressure, severe or sudden shortness of breath, fainting, or any symptom that feels serious or frightening, contact emergency services right away. Do not wait for a reply from us, and do not drive yourself.

For non-emergency symptoms that worry you, contact your own provider.

5. Individual results vary

Any examples, stories, descriptions, or illustrations used on this website or in our materials are for teaching. They are not promises about your outcome. Results vary between people and depend on many factors, including your own choices, your medical conditions, and the care you receive elsewhere.

6. Links to other websites

We sometimes link to other websites, such as scheduling, documentation, or supplement companies. Those links are for your information. We do not control the content of those sites and we are not responsible for it. When you use another company’s site or service, their terms and privacy policy apply.

7. Supplements

We do not prescribe supplements and we do not sell them. Where we point clients to a supplement shelf, that is a signpost and not a recommendation for you personally. We receive a small monthly payment from FullScript under its practitioner programme, and our Terms of Service say so plainly. Supplements can interact with prescription medicines. Please speak with your own provider or pharmacist before starting any supplement.

8. If you are unsure

If you are not sure whether something you read here applies to you, it probably needs a conversation with your own provider, and that is exactly the right place for it. We are glad to help you understand the vocabulary so that conversation goes better.

In one sentence. We teach, you and your providers decide.
