Important Notice

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using QuShape services. The information and services provided by QuShape are for educational and informational purposes only.

1. Not Medical Advice

The information, guidance, and services provided by QuShape do not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our nutritionists provide education and guidance related to food, nutrition, and lifestyle choices, but we are not medical doctors and do not provide medical services.

QuShape services should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of QuShape services does not create a doctor-patient or medical treatment relationship. Our relationship with clients is that of nutrition educator and consultant, not healthcare provider and patient.

• Existing medical conditions or diagnoses
• Taking prescription medications
• Pregnant or nursing
• Under 18 years of age
• History of eating disorders

7. Educational Purpose

All information provided through QuShape services, including on our website, in consultations, and in written materials, is for educational purposes only. This information is based on current nutritional science but should not replace personalized medical advice from your healthcare provider.

8. Accuracy of Information

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, nutrition science is constantly evolving. We make reasonable efforts to ensure information accuracy but cannot guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, or current at all times.

9. Third-Party Information

Our website may contain links to third-party resources or reference third-party information. We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of information from external sources. Use of third-party information is at your own risk.

10. Emergency Situations

QuShape services are not appropriate for emergency situations. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call emergency services immediately (999 in the UK) or go to your nearest emergency department.

11. Supplement Recommendations

If we provide general education about dietary supplements, this information is not a prescription or medical recommendation. Always consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplements, as they may interact with medications or medical conditions.

12. Food Allergies and Safety

It is your responsibility to inform us of any food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities. While we take allergies seriously, we cannot guarantee that all recommendations will be free from cross-contamination or allergen exposure. Always check food labels and verify ingredients independently.

13. Mental Health Concerns

If you have a history of eating disorders or current concerns about disordered eating patterns, please inform us and consult with a mental health professional. Nutrition guidance alone may not be appropriate for individuals with active eating disorders.
