Telos Wellness provides health and wellness coaching. It is not medical care, and it is not a substitute for the care of your own physician.
Coaching is not medical care
Bo Yates is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). She is not a physician or a psychologist, and the scope of her services does not include the diagnosis or treatment of any illness or disorder.
Coaching focuses on wellbeing and prevention. A coach educates, and supports you in taking greater personal responsibility for your health through your own choices about activity, sleep, stress, and daily habits. That is a different activity from treating disease, and it works best alongside your medical care rather than in place of it.
If you think something is wrong, see a doctor
If you suspect you have an illness or condition that may need medical attention, it is your responsibility to consult a licensed physician promptly. Do not delay seeking medical advice because of anything discussed in coaching.
In an emergency, do not email or message us. Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States.
Medications
Only a licensed physician can prescribe medication. If medications come up in coaching, it is solely so that Bo has a complete picture of your circumstances. It is never for the purpose of judging whether a medication is appropriate for you.
Any change to a prescription or a dose is a decision you make with your physician. That includes starting, adjusting, or stopping a GLP-1 medication.
Lab results and biomarkers
Telos Wellness does not order laboratory tests, does not run them, and does not interpret them. Any lab values discussed in coaching are figures you have chosen to share from tests ordered by your own healthcare provider, and any interpretation of those results belongs to the provider who ordered them.
No guarantees
People generally experience better health as a result of healthier habits, but Telos Wellness does not promise or guarantee any particular result, and does not promise protection from future illness. Results differ from person to person.
