Terms of Service & Disclaimers
Please read these terms carefully before using Coaching Amplifier.
The information, strategies, scripts, and business advice provided in Coaching Amplifier are based on the experiences of successful health coaches and are intended for educational purposes only.
Results are not guaranteed. Business success depends on many factors including individual effort, market conditions, personal skills, and adherence to OPTAVIA's official policies and guidelines.
Coaching Amplifier is an independent training resource and is not officially affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by OPTAVIA, Medifast, or any related entities. For official policies, procedures, and guidelines, always refer to OPTAVIA's official resources.
The scripts and templates provided are suggestions and should be adapted to your personal style and situation. Always ensure your communications comply with OPTAVIA's official compliance guidelines.
By using this platform, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your business decisions and their outcomes.
The financial guidance provided in Coaching Amplifier is for general informational purposes only and is based on common practices within the health coaching industry. This is not professional tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice.
As an independent contractor (1099), your tax situation is unique. Tax laws vary by state and change frequently. The percentages and strategies suggested here are starting points, not guarantees of compliance or optimal results.
We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional, CPA, or financial advisor for advice specific to your situation before making any financial decisions.
Coaching Amplifier and its creators are not liable for any financial decisions made based on the information provided.
The income examples and potential earnings discussed in this training are for illustrative purposes only and are not guarantees of income. Individual results vary significantly based on effort, skill, market conditions, and many other factors.
OPTAVIA coaches are independent contractors. For actual income statistics and the official Income Disclosure Statement, please visit OPTAVIA's official website. The majority of coaches do not earn significant income from coaching activities.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Any income claims made by individual coaches represent their personal results and may not be typical.
Coaching Amplifier does not guarantee any level of income or business success.
Individual weight loss results vary significantly. The results mentioned in this training, including client success stories and sample scripts, are not guarantees of results you or your clients will achieve.
Average weight loss on the Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® is 12 pounds. Clients are in weight loss, on average, for 12 weeks.
Factors affecting results include starting weight, adherence to the program, metabolic factors, medical conditions, medications, and other individual circumstances.
The OPTAVIA program is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Clients with medical conditions, those on medications, pregnant or nursing women, and anyone with health concerns should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any weight loss program.
Health coaches are not medical professionals and should never provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, or recommend changes to medications.
OPTAVIA health coaches are not licensed medical professionals, registered dietitians, or healthcare providers. The information provided in this training is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
Coaches should NEVER:
- Diagnose any medical condition
- Recommend changes to prescribed medications
- Provide advice on managing diseases or medical conditions
- Make claims about curing, treating, or preventing illness
- Advise clients to ignore symptoms or delay medical care
Clients experiencing concerning symptoms, adverse reactions, or who have medical conditions should be referred to their healthcare provider.
If in doubt, always recommend the client consult with their doctor.
Health coaches are not licensed mental health professionals, counselors, therapists, or psychologists. The emotional support strategies discussed in this training are intended for general encouragement during a weight loss journey, not mental health treatment.
Coaches should refer clients to qualified mental health professionals if they exhibit signs of:
- Depression or persistent sadness
- Anxiety disorders
- Eating disorders
- Suicidal thoughts or self-harm
- Any mental health crisis
If a client expresses thoughts of self-harm or suicide, direct them to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or emergency services (911) immediately.
This training does not qualify coaches to provide mental health services.
The information clients provide in Health Assessments is sent directly to the coach's email inbox—and nowhere else. Coaching Amplifier does not store client responses on our servers, and no one other than the designated health coach will ever have access to this information.
By submitting an assessment, clients agree to share their responses with their health coach.
