Short and in plain language, since this is a personal site and not a service you are buying.
What this site is
A collection of personal writing by Vaughn Estrada about health choices made in specific everyday situations. It is offered as it is, for reading.
Not medical or professional advice
This is the important one. I hold no clinical qualification. Nothing on this site is medical advice, nutritional advice, psychological advice, or a plan for anyone’s body, and nothing here should be used to diagnose, treat or decide anything about a health condition. There are no dosages here and no calorie or weight targets, by rule. What you read is one person’s account of his own situations and his own reasoning. Do not start or stop anything on the strength of it. If you have a symptom that persists, a condition you are managing, a question about alcohol, or anything to do with your mental health, speak to a qualified clinician who can assess you properly. In an emergency, contact emergency services.
Accuracy
I write carefully and I still get things wrong. Everything here is accurate to the best of my understanding on the day it was written, and some of it will age. Pages carry a last updated date and articles carry the date of the situation, so you can see how old a piece of reasoning is. If you spot an error, write to hello@livinghealthychoices.org.
Copyright
The writing on this site is mine. Quote a paragraph with a link back and no permission is needed. Reproducing a whole piece, or using anything here to train a model or to fill another site, needs asking first. Photographs are licensed from their photographers and are not mine to pass on.
Links out
Links to other sites are there because they were useful at the time. I do not control what happens on them, and a link is not an endorsement of everything at the other end. Some are affiliate links, described in the affiliate disclosure.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for any loss or damage arising from something you read here or from something you did after reading it. The site is provided without warranty of any kind, including that it will always be available or always be free of errors.
Governing law
This site is published from the United States, and these terms are read under the law of the United States.
Changes
These terms can change. The last updated date at the top of this page is the honest record of when they last did.
