2. SMALL SHIFTS™ IS NOT MEDICAL CARE

Small Shifts™ is not a medical program.

The Small Shifts™ coaches are not acting as physicians, nurses, registered dietitians, mental health professionals, or other licensed healthcare providers.

Participation in Small Shifts™ does not create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, dietitian-patient, or other licensed healthcare-provider relationship.

Nothing provided through Small Shifts™ should be considered medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for individualized care from an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.

We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent diseases, illnesses, hormonal disorders, mental health conditions, or other medical conditions.

3. YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER

You are responsible for determining whether participation in Small Shifts™ and any lifestyle changes you choose to make are appropriate for you.

You are encouraged to consult with your physician or another qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, fasting practices, supplement use, or other health-related behaviors, particularly if you:

  • have an existing medical condition;
  • are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant;
  • have a history of disordered eating or an eating disorder;
  • take prescription or over-the-counter medications;
  • have experienced significant or unexplained symptoms; or
  • have been advised by a healthcare professional to follow specific dietary, exercise, or medical recommendations.

You agree that you will not disregard, delay, or discontinue professional medical care because of information received through Small Shifts™.

If you experience new, worsening, severe, or concerning symptoms, you agree to seek appropriate medical care.

4. MENOPAUSE AND HORMONE EDUCATION

Small Shifts™ may provide general education regarding perimenopause, menopause, hormones, and common experiences associated with the midlife transition.

This information is educational and is not intended to diagnose hormonal conditions or determine whether symptoms are caused by perimenopause, menopause, hormone levels, or another medical condition.

Questions regarding hormone testing, hormone replacement therapy, medications, abnormal bleeding, significant symptoms, or treatment options should be discussed with an appropriately licensed healthcare professional.

5. NUTRITION, FASTING, AND SUPPLEMENTS

Small Shifts™ may provide general nutrition education and may discuss foods, meal timing, fasting practices, vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, or other wellness products.

Any such information is provided for educational purposes and should not be interpreted as medical treatment or a prescription.

Individual nutritional and supplement needs can vary based on health history, medications, allergies, medical conditions, laboratory findings, and other factors.

Dietary supplements may cause side effects and may interact with medications, medical conditions, or other supplements.

You are responsible for discussing supplements, fasting practices, significant dietary changes, and potential interactions with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional when appropriate.

No statement made through Small Shifts™ regarding a food, supplement, lifestyle strategy, or wellness product is intended to claim that it will diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

6. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND EXERCISE

Small Shifts™ may encourage physical activity, strength training, walking, mobility work, or other forms of movement.

Physical activity carries inherent risks, including soreness, falls, strains, sprains, injury, cardiovascular events, and aggravation of existing medical conditions.

You are responsible for selecting activities appropriate for your current abilities and health status.

You agree to stop an activity if you experience pain, dizziness, shortness of breath beyond what is reasonably expected, faintness, chest discomfort, or other concerning symptoms and to seek appropriate medical attention when necessary.

7. ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

You understand that changes to nutrition, physical activity, fasting, supplements, sleep routines, and other lifestyle behaviors may involve risks and may affect individuals differently.

You voluntarily choose to participate in Small Shifts™ and accept responsibility for the decisions you make regarding your health and lifestyle.

You understand that you are responsible for evaluating whether information or strategies discussed within the program are appropriate for your individual circumstances.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you voluntarily assume the ordinary and inherent risks associated with participating in the program and implementing lifestyle changes you choose to make.

8. NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS

Every participant is different.

Results may depend on numerous factors outside our control, including health history, age, genetics, medications, hormones, consistency, nutrition, activity, sleep, stress, and individual circumstances.

We therefore make no guarantees regarding specific outcomes from participation in Small Shifts™, including but not limited to:

  • weight loss;
  • changes in body composition;
  • increased energy;
  • improved sleep;
  • reduced symptoms;
  • improved hormone levels;
  • improved laboratory values;
  • improved fitness; or
  • any other physical, emotional, or health-related outcome.

Testimonials or examples shared by Small Shifts™ represent individual experiences and should not be interpreted as promises or guarantees of similar results.

9. COACHING RELATIONSHIP AND PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITY

Coaching is a collaborative process.

Our role is to provide education, encouragement, accountability, resources, and coaching. Your role is to decide which actions are appropriate for you and to take responsibility for those decisions.

You remain responsible for your own health, choices, actions, and results throughout the program.

You agree to provide accurate information when completing assessments or communicating information that may be relevant to your participation.

10. COMMUNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Small Shifts™ may include group coaching sessions, online communities, video calls, messaging platforms, or other opportunities to interact with participants.

We ask all participants to respect the privacy of others and not share another participant’s personal story, health information, photographs, comments, or experiences outside the Small Shifts™ community without permission.

However, because group environments involve other participants and third-party technology platforms, we cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality of information voluntarily shared in a group setting.

You are encouraged to use discretion when sharing sensitive personal or health information.

11. PROGRAM MATERIALS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

All Small Shifts™ materials—including videos, worksheets, guides, assessments, presentations, graphics, recordings, downloads, written materials, and other resources—are provided for your personal use only unless otherwise stated.

You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, publish, teach, upload, share, or otherwise use Small Shifts™ materials for commercial purposes without prior written permission.

Your enrollment provides you with access to the program; it does not transfer ownership of Small Shifts™ content or intellectual property.

12. PROGRAM ACCESS, PAYMENT, CANCELLATION, AND REFUNDS

Your purchase of Small Shifts™ is subject to the pricing, payment terms, access period, cancellation terms, and refund policy presented at the time of enrollment.

By completing your purchase, you agree to those terms.

If a payment plan is offered and selected, you remain responsible for payments according to the terms presented at enrollment unless otherwise required by applicable law or agreed to in writing.

13. RELEASE AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that Back to You Coaching, Small Shifts™, and their owners, coaches, contractors, representatives, and affiliates will not be responsible for injuries, losses, damages, or adverse outcomes resulting from your voluntary participation in the program or from lifestyle decisions you independently choose to make based on educational information provided through the program.

This provision is not intended to waive rights or liabilities that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.

14. WHEN SMALL SHIFTS™ MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE

Small Shifts™ is designed as a general wellness coaching and educational program and may not be appropriate for every individual or circumstance.

We reserve the right to recommend that you seek care or guidance from an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental health professional when a concern falls outside the scope of the program.

We also reserve the right to discontinue coaching or participation when we reasonably believe a participant’s needs fall outside our scope, when continuing could be unsafe or inappropriate, or when program/community expectations are repeatedly violated.
