The scope of nutrition coaching services provided by Planos Nutrition and the important distinction between nutrition coaching and medical care.

1. Scope of Our Services

Planos Nutrition, Inc. ("Planos Nutrition," "we," "us," or "our") provides nutrition coaching services within the scope of practice of a Registered Dietitian (RD, LD). Our services include:

  • Nutrition assessment and counseling
  • Personalized nutrition strategies
  • Medical nutrition therapy (where licensure permits)
  • Lab result interpretation within nutritional context
  • Lifestyle and habit coaching
  • Training guidance
  • Ongoing support and accountability

Our services are educational and coaching-based. They are not a substitute for medical care, diagnosis, or treatment.


2. We Are Not Your Doctor

Planos Nutrition and its coaches are not medical doctors. Nothing on our website, in our programs, or in communications from our team should be interpreted as:

  • Medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment
  • A substitute for consultation with a licensed physician or other qualified healthcare provider
  • A prescription or recommendation for medication
  • A diagnosis of any medical condition

Andres Ayesta holds credentials as a Masters-level Registered Dietitian (MS, RD, LD). These credentials authorize him to provide nutrition counseling and medical nutrition therapy within the scope of dietetics practice in states where licensure permits. They do not authorize him to practice medicine.


3. Consult Your Healthcare Provider

Before starting any nutrition program, training routine, or lifestyle change — particularly if you have a medical condition, are taking medication, or have specific health concerns — you should consult with your physician or qualified healthcare provider.

This is especially important if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with any medical condition (including but not limited to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, kidney or liver disease, gastrointestinal disorders, eating disorders, or mental health conditions)
  • Take prescription medications
  • Are recovering from surgery or injury
  • Have food allergies or intolerances
  • Have a history of disordered eating
  • Are managing any chronic health condition

Changes to nutrition and activity levels can interact with medications and medical conditions. Your physician is the appropriate person to evaluate these interactions for your specific situation.


4. Lab Work Interpretation

As a Registered Dietitian, Andres Ayesta may interpret lab results within the scope of nutrition coaching. This interpretation focuses on:

  • How nutritional patterns may relate to specific biomarkers
  • Dietary adjustments that may support optimal ranges
  • Identifying areas that warrant further investigation by a medical provider

Our lab interpretation is not a medical diagnosis. We do not diagnose diseases, order or prescribe treatments, or replace the role of your physician. When lab results suggest medical conditions that fall outside the scope of nutrition practice, we will refer you to a qualified medical provider.

You remain responsible for sharing your lab results with your physician and following their medical guidance.


5. Populations We Do Not Serve

Due to the specialized medical nature of care required, we do not work with:

  • Pregnant or lactating individuals
  • Children under 18
  • Individuals with active eating disorders requiring clinical treatment
  • Individuals requiring medical detoxification or inpatient care
  • Individuals with medical conditions requiring specialist dietitian care beyond our scope

If you fall into one of these categories, please seek care from a qualified specialist appropriate to your situation. We can provide referrals upon request.


6. Geographic Scope of Practice

Dietetics licensure requirements vary by state. Andres Ayesta is a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist in Florida. In states where licensure is required to provide medical nutrition therapy (MNT), we limit our services to nutrition education and general coaching — not the diagnosis or treatment of medical conditions through diet.

For clients outside Florida: Your services may be limited to non-medical nutrition coaching depending on your state's dietetics licensure requirements. If you have a medical condition and reside in a state where we cannot provide medical nutrition therapy, we recommend working with a locally licensed dietitian for condition-specific care.

For international clients: Scope of practice and regulatory frameworks vary by country. We rarely accept clients outside the U.S. and evaluate each case individually.


7. Supplements and Third-Party Products

We may recommend nutritional supplements as part of a comprehensive coaching approach. These recommendations are based on peer-reviewed nutrition science, established standards of practice, and your individual profile. Please note:

  • We are not a pharmacy and do not sell supplements directly. We may suggest third-party brands we trust.
  • We may earn commissions on some supplement purchases. Planos Nutrition participates in affiliate or referral programs with certain third-party supplement brands. When we may earn a commission from a recommendation, we aim to disclose that relationship. Our recommendations are based on what we believe serves you — not on commission rates. We have and will continue to recommend products from which we earn nothing when we believe they are the best fit for you.
  • Supplements can interact with medications and medical conditions. Consult your physician or pharmacist before starting any new supplement.
  • Supplement recommendations for pregnant or lactating individuals are limited to those supported by established standards of practice and peer-reviewed evidence (for example, prenatal vitamins, omega-3s, or vitamin D within recommended ranges). Any supplement recommendation during pregnancy or lactation should be reviewed with your physician or OB-GYN before use. We do not provide comprehensive coaching to pregnant or lactating clients (see Section 5).

8. Results Are Not Guaranteed

Individual results from our programs vary based on many factors, including:

  • Your starting point and individual physiology
  • Your consistency and adherence to recommendations
  • Your medical history and current health status
  • Lifestyle factors outside our control
  • Genetic and metabolic variation

Testimonials and case studies displayed on our Site reflect real client experiences but are not guarantees of specific outcomes. Your results may differ. We do not promise weight loss, body composition changes, improved lab values, resolved symptoms, or any other specific outcome.

What we offer is a credentialed, evidence-based coaching approach — and the commitment to show up for you consistently. The work is a partnership. The outcomes depend on both sides.


9. Emergency Situations

Our services are not designed for medical emergencies or urgent medical care.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Do not contact us for emergency care.

If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call or text the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (in the United States) or contact your local crisis service immediately.

If you are struggling with an eating disorder, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is a resource for immediate support.


10. Limitation of Liability

You understand and agree that:

  • You are participating in our programs voluntarily
  • You are responsible for your own health, safety, and outcomes
  • You will consult appropriate medical professionals when needed
  • You release Planos Nutrition, Inc. and its coaches from any liability for adverse outcomes resulting from your participation in our programs, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct

By engaging our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Medical Disclaimer. Full liability terms are set out in our Terms of Service.


11. Changes to This Disclaimer
