We also use Facebook “pixels” on many of our pages so that we can understand your digital behavior and potentially later target you with related advertising. We also use Google Analytics to understand how long you might spend on our sites or how you interact with our sites.

If you ever choose to opt-out of targeted advertising with us, then please contact us so that we can remove your email from any advertising we may use.

As always, you can unsubscribe from any of our emails at any time via the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email you received from us.

We do not store any information about you on our servers other than that which you submit into one of our forms.

By using our site(s) and submitting any information with us, you agree to these terms without exception and agree to waive liability and not hold us liable for any use of your information, in perpetuity, under any circumstances, including waiving your right to participate or initiate any class action complaints.

Again, if you want us to no longer contact you, just contact us anytime with your request and we will remove you from our services or content as appropriate and as soon as we can.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Chelsea Goebler is not a physician or psychologist, and the scope of his/her consultation services does not include treatment or diagnosis of specific illnesses or disorders. If I, the client, suspect I may have an ailment or illness that may require medical attention, then it is my responsibility to consult with a licensed physician immediately. Only a licensed physician can prescribe drugs. 

Any mention of drugs in the course of consultation is only for the purpose of providing a complete history of drugs that the client is taking and not for Chelsea Goebler to judge the appropriateness of the medication. Any change in prescription or dosage is a decision the client makes with his or her physician.

Rather than dealing with treatment of disease, Chelsea Goebler focuses on wellness and prevention of illness through the use of non-toxic, natural nutritional therapies to achieve optimal health. As a certified clinical nutritionist and functional medicine specialist, Chelsea Goebler primarily educates and motivates clients to assume more personal responsibility for their health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle, and diet.

While people generally experience greater health and wellness as a result of embracing a healthier attitude, lifestyle, and diet, Chelsea Goebler does not promise or guarantee protection from future illness.

I acknowledge that I understand that Chelsea Goebler is a Dietitian and not a physician, and that I should see a doctor if I think I have a medical condition. Chelsea Goebler will not be held liable for failure to diagnose or treat an illness, nor will she/he be liable for failure to prevent future illness.
