Nutrition Coaching Is Not Medical Nutrition Therapy

CreatALifestyle nutrition coaching and education are not medical nutrition therapy.

CreatALifestyle does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases or medical conditions through nutrition coaching.

The specific information and strategies provided will depend on the coaching relationship and the client's goals.

The CreatALifestyle approach does not require extreme dieting or unrealistic nutritional restrictions.

No Guaranteed Results

Individual results vary.

CreatALifestyle does not guarantee specific nutritional, health, fitness, weight, or lifestyle outcomes.
