REFLUX RELIEF ACADEMY TERMS OF ENROLLMENT & DISCLAIMER
This contract is between Goodship Ventures LLC (the "Business") and the purchasing customer (the "client"). Before beginning Nutritional Therapy with your Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (“NTP”), please read the following information carefully.
NUTRITIONAL THERAPY GOALS
The fundamental goal of Nutritional Therapy is to encourage people to become knowledgeable about and responsible for their own health. An NTP helps individuals reach their optimal level of overall health by supporting and bringing balance to the five foundations listed below. All five are built upon a single, solid base: a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet.
- Digestion
- Blood Sugar Regulation
- Fatty Acid Balance
- Mineral Balance
- Hydration
By supporting each of these foundations and helping clients adopt a more nutrient-dense diet, the body's chemistry can be brought back into natural balance, setting the stage for optimal health. The education and recommendations within the program give you the tools and knowledge you need to start healing right away! Coaching is included to help you navigate the information in a way that addresses your bio-individuality and specific needs. Nutritional Therapy is not designed, however, to treat any specific disease or medical condition. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is trained to evaluate your nutritional needs and make recommendations of dietary change and nutritional supplements, not medical diagnoses or prescriptions. No comment or recommendation from your NTP should be construed as a medical diagnosis or prescription.
Reaching optimal health requires sincere commitment, possible lifestyle changes, and a positive attitude. If you are not willing to change how you eat and live, Nutritional Therapy is not the right approach for you. Since every human being is unique on a biochemical level, 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. An NTP is not a substitute for your family physician or other appropriate healthcare provider. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is not trained nor licensed to diagnose or treat pathological conditions, illnesses, injuries, or diseases or prescribe medications. 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 have any physical or emotional reaction to Nutritional Therapy, discontinue their use immediately, and contact your doctor 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 a biochemical individual, and it is not possible to determine in advance how your body will react to the nutrients or supplements you need. It is sometimes necessary to adjust your program until your body can begin to properly accept targeted nutrients geared to correct imbalances or deficiencies. It is your responsibility to do your part by:
- Following the nutrition guidelines.
- Eating a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet.
- Avoiding harmful foods, substances, and behaviors.
- Moving your body daily.
- Getting plenty of sleep, rest, and relaxation.
LICENSURE
Your NTP is certified as a “Nutritional Therapy Practitioner”™ (NTP®) by the Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.®. Note that a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner does not diagnose or treat disease, but instead makes nutritional recommendations for balancing the body and promoting optimal wellness. NTPs are approved by the NTA as a certifying organization, but are not licensed or certified by any state.
CLIENT PRIVACY POLICY
During the course of Nutritional Therapy, your NTP may ask that you provide relevant personal details and information relating to your background, health, lifestyle, etc. (hereafter referred to as “Information”), including but not limited to:
- Your full name, physical address, email address, phone number, date of birth, etc.
- Your health history, including injuries, surgeries, prescriptions, etc.
This Information may be gathered from you via in-person interviews, questionnaires, evaluations, intake documents, phone, email, mail, video conferences, etc., and used to:
- Help assess your nutritional needs.
- Make recommendations for dietary changes and nutritional supplements to support your specific nutritional needs and goals.
- Comply with all legal and NTA training obligations.
Though NTPs are not HIPAA regulated entities, the NTA is committed to protecting client privacy and requires students and graduates to uphold the privacy best practices and the policies laid out in the U.S. Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information. Your NTP will take all reasonable steps to protect your Information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure by using strong passwords, up-to-date software on all devices, and locking file cabinets for physical documents. However, even the best security practices cannot guarantee that all stored data will be completely free from third-party interception or corruption. In accordance with Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, your consent is required for your NTP to collect, use, and disclose your personal Information. By signing below, you acknowledge consent for your NTP to collect your Information.
