It is essential that you read and understand the following points before participating in any of our offerings. This Medical Disclaimer should be read in conjunction with our terms and conditions and privacy policy, as it governs your use of the Services across all platforms and mediums through which they are made available.

Consultation with Healthcare Professional: Before initiating any new diet, exercise, or nutrition programme, it is imperative that you consult with a healthcare professional. This step is crucial, particularly if you have pre-existing health concerns or conditions that could be affected by changes in your diet, physical activity, or overall nutrition.

Not a Substitute for Medical Advice: Our Services and the information we provide are designed to support your health and wellness goals but are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The general advice and guidance offered through our Services do not take into account individual health conditions, dietary restrictions, or other specific health-related needs that you may have.

No Guarantee Clause: We acknowledge the unique nature of individual responses to nutrition and exercise programmes. It is important to understand that each person’s body reacts differently to specific dietary changes and physical activity levels. These variations can significantly influence the outcomes of any health, nutrition, or fitness programme. While our Services are designed to support your health and wellness goals, we cannot guarantee specific results. Success in achieving desired health outcomes depends on a variety of factors, including your individual effort, consistency, and adherence to the Services recommendations. The effectiveness of our programmes can be influenced by your unique body, lifestyle, and external factors beyond our control. As such, we cannot promise that you will achieve specific results, such as weight loss, muscle gain, or improved fitness levels, within a set timeframe.

Potential Risks: You acknowledge that, despite the potential benefits, any modification to your diet, exercise routine, or overall lifestyle may result in unforeseen adverse effects. These could range from minor discomforts to more serious health issues, depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, your current health status, underlying medical condition, and the specific nature of the changes you are making.

In light of these potential risks, you agree to the following precautionary measures:

Immediate Discontinuation: Should you experience any adverse effects or discomfort that you suspect may be related to your participation in the Services, you agree to immediately discontinue participation and consult a healthcare professional to ensure your safety and well-being.

 

Regular Monitoring:  You commit to regularly monitoring your health and well-being throughout the duration of the Services, paying close attention to any changes in your physical or mental health that could indicate adverse effects from the Services.

 

Professional Consultation: You agree to consult with a healthcare professional both prior to beginning the Services and as necessary throughout its duration, especially if you experience any adverse effects. This consultation should include discussing the potential risks associated with the dietary or lifestyle changes you are considering and obtaining personalised advice tailored to your health needs.

Allergies and Sensitivities: Our Services are crafted to cater to a broad audience and, as a result, may incorporate ingredients or offer dietary suggestions that could potentially trigger allergic reactions or sensitivities in certain individuals. Should you experience any adverse reactions, such as allergic responses, while following dietary suggestions provided in our Services, you agree to immediately discontinue participation and seek medical advice as necessary.

Supplements: Within the scope of our Services, you may encounter references to various supplements. Any mention of supplements is provided strictly for informational purposes and should not, under any circumstances, be interpreted as a direct recommendation or endorsement of those products. If any supplements are mentioned anywhere on our site, programmes, live calls, videos or anywhere else associated with our business, you must speak to your GP or your health care professionals before taking. Like medications, supplements can have  contraindications. Any supplements are therefore taken entirely at your own risk.

Product Endorsements and Affiliate Relationships

DLN occasionally endorses, promotes, or suggests products and services based on our genuine belief in their quality and value, informed by our review or the reputation of their suppliers. Please note that DLN may maintain affiliate relationships with some of these providers, meaning we could earn a commission or receive compensation if you purchase through our affiliate links.

Our primary aim in recommending any product or service is to benefit our audience, with any potential commission being a secondary consideration. We offer these recommendations for your convenience and encourage you to independently assess the suitability of any product or service. Transparency is important to us, but the nature of online marketing may not always make affiliate relationships immediately apparent. As such, we advise assuming that any product or service links could be affiliate links, potentially earning us compensation. Your support and trust in DLN are greatly appreciated.

Pre-existing Conditions: If you have pre-existing medical conditions, diagnosed or undiagnosed, including but not limited to diabetes, cancer, autoimmune conditions, you must consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new nutrition or exercise programme. Our Services may not be suitable for everyone, and it is essential to ensure that any new diet or fitness regimen is appropriate for your individual health needs and conditions. Your healthcare provider can offer guidance on how to safely incorporate new health and wellness practices into your routine, taking into account any specific requirements or limitations associated with your condition.

Do Not Stop Medication Without Doctor’s Advice: You must not alter or discontinue any medication or treatment plan prescribed by your doctor or healthcare provider without their direct advice and supervision. Our Services are designed to support overall health and wellness and are not intended to interfere with or replace medical treatments or medications prescribed for specific health conditions. You must contact your GP if taking medications as losing weight or changing diet may affect your prescription.

Emergency Medical Conditions: In the event of a medical emergency, please contact your healthcare provider or the nearest emergency room immediately. The Services provided by DLN are not designed to address emergency medical conditions or serious health issues. Relying on the information provided by our Services instead of seeking professional medical advice from a healthcare provider in emergency situations could result in harm to yourself or others.

Exclusion Criteria: Our Services are designed with the general adult population in mind and may not be suitable for all individuals, including but not limited to children under the age of 18, pregnant or breast feeding women, or individuals undergoing specific medical treatment or with specific conditions, including but not limited to Type 1 & 2 Diabetes, cancer, eating disorders and undiagnosed conditions.  It is crucial that you consult with a healthcare professional to determine whether our Services are appropriate for your specific health circumstances.

These testimonials reflect the real-life experiences and opinions of such users. However, the experiences are personal to those particular users, and may not necessarily be representative of all users of our products and/or services.

The testimonials on the Websites are submitted in various forms such as text, audio and/or video, and are reviewed by us before being posted.
