Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability

I hereby acknowledge and agree:

1.     The purpose of nutritional counseling is to improve the overall health, vitality and well-being of the body through nutritional education and the use of natural foods and non-medicinal nutritional supplements. The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, does not diagnose diseases, disorders or conditions.

‍

2.     Nutrition counseling includes all nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition interventions, and nutrition monitoring considered necessary or advisable in the judgment of the Registered Dietitian. I understand that nutrition counseling is not a substitute for the diagnosis, treatment, or care of disease by a medical provider.

‍

3. As part of the Nutritional Counseling Services, I may be asked to provide information concerning my physical habits, medical history, moods, energy levels, likes and dislikes, lifestyle and diet. This information is collected to enable the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to: (i) assess my knowledge of nutrition, (ii) educate me about the benefits of sound nutritional practices and (iii) recommend dietary changes to improve my general health, vitality and overall well-being. The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, will hold this information in confidence and will not release or disclose this information to any other person, without my prior consent, except as required by applicable law.

‍

4.     If the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, suspects the existence of disease, disorder or condition, I will be informed of this suspicion. However, I acknowledge this is not a diagnosis or conclusion about the state of my health and that I am directed to promptly consult a licensed Physician.

‍

5.     Should I request the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, to recommend dietary changes and/or nutritional supplements to enhance my body’s natural ability to resist and/or overcome a known disease, disorder or condition, it is my responsibility to disclose the nature of the disease, disorder or condition and all other relevant details to the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season,. If I have not previously consulted a licensed Physician about this disease, disorder or condition, I acknowledge that I am directed to promptly do so. I am not to alter or discontinue treatments prescribed by a licensed Physician or other licensed health professional without consulting the individual who prescribed the treatment.

‍

6.     In providing Nutrition Counseling Services to me, the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, is relying upon the truth, accuracy and completeness of all information I have provided to his/her. Any recommendations I follow for changes in diet, including the use of nutritional supplements, are entirely my responsibility.

‍

7.     Season is in no way liable for my health or safety.

‍

8.     In consideration of my participation in the Nutritional Counseling Services, I hereby accept all risk to my health, including injury or death that may result from such participation and I hereby release the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Season, on my behalf and on behalf of my personal representatives, estate, heirs, next of kin, and assigns from any and all costs, claims, causes of action and damages arising from any and all illness or injury to my person, including my death, that may result from or occur as a result of my participation in the Nutrition Counseling Services, whether caused by negligence or otherwise.

‍

9.     Twenty-four (24) hours is required for cancelling appointments. 

‍

10.     I understand that any therapies I undertake at Season are undertaken of my own free will. I accept that the ultimate responsibility for my health care is my own and that Season is here to support me in this. I understand that my practitioner reserves the right to determine which cases fall outside their scope of practice, in which event an appropriate referral will be recommended. I hereby agree to assume full responsibility for any manner of loss, injury, claim or damage whatsoever, known or unknown, incurred as a result of same and I, my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns for any loss, injury, claim or damage sustained as a result of my attendance and/or participation.
