Last Updated: September 11, 2026

The information provided by The Institute for Human Discovery (“Institute,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is intended for educational and informational purposes only.

Our websites, articles, books, newsletters, videos, graphics, research summaries, educational materials, products, and other content may discuss health, nutrition, biology, medicine, disease, laboratory testing, supplements, medications, therapies, lifestyle practices, scientific research, and related subjects.

Nothing published or provided by the Institute is intended to constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for professional medical care.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Not Medical Advice

The Institute does not provide individualized medical advice.

Information made available through our websites and publications is general in nature and cannot account for your individual health history, medical conditions, medications, allergies, laboratory results, age, pregnancy status, or other circumstances that may affect what is appropriate for you.

You should not use Institute content as a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your individual circumstances.

Consult a Qualified Healthcare Professional

Before beginning, stopping, or materially changing any medication, supplement, diet, treatment, therapy, exercise program, diagnostic procedure, or other health-related practice, you should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

This is especially important if you:

have a diagnosed medical condition;
take prescription or over-the-counter medications;
are pregnant or breastfeeding;
are preparing for surgery or another medical procedure;
have known allergies or sensitivities;
are caring for a child, elderly person, or medically vulnerable individual; or
have concerns about symptoms or laboratory findings.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking medical care because of something you have read, watched, or otherwise encountered through the Institute.

Medical Emergencies

The Institute does not provide emergency medical services.

If you believe you or another person may be experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency medical services or seek immediate medical attention.

Do not rely on our website, publications, email, social media, or other communications for emergency assistance.

Scientific Research and Changing Evidence

Medical and scientific knowledge continually develops.

The Institute may discuss published studies, historical research, emerging evidence, scientific theories, clinical observations, controversies, hypotheses, and differing interpretations of available evidence.

A study cited by the Institute may later be challenged, revised, superseded, or interpreted differently as additional evidence becomes available.

The inclusion of scientific research does not mean that the Institute guarantees the accuracy of the study, endorses every conclusion reached by its authors, or represents that the findings apply to every individual.

Supplements, Foods, and Other Products

The Institute may provide educational information concerning dietary supplements, vitamins, minerals, foods, medical or wellness devices, laboratory tests, or other products.

Statements regarding these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease unless expressly authorized by applicable law and supported by the required regulatory approval.

Individual responses can vary substantially.

A product that is appropriate for one person may be ineffective, inappropriate, or harmful for another person because of factors including medical conditions, medications, allergies, dosage, interactions, and individual physiology.

Always read product labels, warnings, instructions, and other information supplied with a product before use.

Medication and Treatment Information

Discussions of prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, medical procedures, treatments, or therapies are provided for educational purposes only.

The Institute does not recommend that you discontinue prescribed medication or professional medical treatment without discussing the decision with the healthcare professional responsible for your care.

References to possible benefits, limitations, side effects, mechanisms, or alternatives should not be interpreted as individualized treatment instructions.

Dosages and Protocols

The Institute may discuss dosages, intake levels, treatment protocols, study protocols, dietary practices, or other quantities reported in scientific literature or used for educational discussion.

Such information is not necessarily a recommendation for personal use.

Appropriate dosages and protocols can depend upon numerous individual factors and should be evaluated accordingly.

Laboratory Tests and Health Measurements

Information concerning laboratory testing, biomarkers, body temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose, fatty acids, hormones, nutrient levels, or other health measurements is intended for educational purposes.

A measurement or laboratory result should not be interpreted in isolation as establishing the presence or absence of a medical condition.

Clinical interpretation may require consideration of symptoms, medical history, testing methodology, reference ranges, repeat testing, and other relevant information.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Your use of Institute content, products, websites, communications, or other Services does not create a physician-patient, therapist-patient, healthcare-provider-patient, or other professional relationship between you and the Institute, its authors, contributors, employees, contractors, or affiliates.

Correspondence with the Institute likewise does not establish such a relationship.

Individual Results Vary

Human biology is complex, and individual outcomes vary.

The Institute does not guarantee any particular health outcome from following information, practices, strategies, diets, therapies, supplement regimens, or other approaches discussed in our content.

Testimonials, personal experiences, case reports, examples, or descriptions of outcomes are not guarantees that another person will experience the same result.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate and useful information, but we do not warrant that all health or medical information will be complete, error-free, current, or applicable to every circumstance.

Errors, omissions, differences between studies, and changes in scientific understanding can occur.

You are responsible for independently evaluating information before relying upon it for important health decisions.

Third-Party Information

The Institute may quote, summarize, link to, or discuss information from scientific journals, researchers, healthcare professionals, government agencies, manufacturers, laboratories, universities, organizations, and other third parties.

The inclusion of third-party information does not mean that the Institute accepts responsibility for its accuracy or endorses every opinion, product, organization, or conclusion associated with that source.

Personal Responsibility

You are responsible for decisions you make concerning your health.

By using Institute content, you acknowledge that health-related decisions involve individual circumstances and risks and that general educational information cannot replace appropriate professional evaluation.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you assume responsibility for your use of information provided by the Institute.
