Last Updated: October 13, 2026

Welcome to Kelsey Essink Nutrition LLC. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website, https://www.kelseyessinknutrition.com (“Website”), and the general information and resources provided through it.

By accessing or using this Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.

These Terms apply to Website use. Professional nutrition services may also be subject to separate informed consent documents, financial policies, appointment policies, and other agreements provided to clients.

1. About Kelsey Essink Nutrition LLC

Kelsey Essink Nutrition LLC provides nutrition counseling, medical nutrition therapy, nutrition education, and related services. Services may include individualized nutrition assessments, dietary recommendations, lifestyle guidance, supplement education, and nutrition support for digestive health, autoimmune conditions, hormone-related concerns, and other health goals.

Services may be provided virtually or through other arrangements communicated to clients.

The availability of specific services depends on individual circumstances, applicable professional requirements, and the services offered at the time of booking.

2. Medical and Nutrition Disclaimer

The information provided on this Website is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended to replace individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.

Although we strive to provide accurate and evidence-informed nutrition information, Website content may not apply to your individual medical history, health conditions, medications, laboratory results, or nutritional needs.

You should consult your physician or another qualified healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, medications, or supplement regimen, particularly if you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are taking prescription medications.

Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking medical care because of information you read on this Website.

No Medical Diagnosis or Treatment Through Website Content

Information about nutrition, functional testing, supplements, gut health, hormones, autoimmune conditions, and other health topics does not constitute an individual diagnosis or guarantee a particular health outcome.

Nutrition counseling may complement medical care but does not replace the role of your physician or other treating healthcare professionals. Medical diagnosis, prescription medication management, and other services outside our professional scope remain the responsibility of appropriately licensed healthcare professionals.

Emergencies

This Website and our general educational resources are not intended for medical emergencies.

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

3. No Provider-Client Relationship Through Website Use

Viewing this Website, reading its content, subscribing to communications, or contacting us through a general inquiry form does not, by itself, establish a professional nutrition counseling relationship.

A professional relationship is established only through the appropriate intake, consent, and service arrangements.

If you become a client, the terms of your professional relationship will also be governed by applicable consent documents, practice policies, and other agreements provided to you.

4. Appointments and Scheduling

Kelsey Essink Nutrition LLC uses Kalix, a third-party practice management and electronic medical record (EMR) platform, to facilitate appointment scheduling and client-related functions.

When you click a scheduling link on our Website, you may be redirected to Kalix or its scheduling interface.

Appointment availability, scheduling requirements, and booking procedures may change. Submitting an appointment request does not necessarily guarantee an appointment until it has been confirmed.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate contact information and reviewing appointment confirmations and communications.

Cancellations, Rescheduling, and Missed Appointments

Appointment cancellation, rescheduling, late cancellation, and missed appointment policies are communicated through our practice policies and client agreements.

Clients are responsible for reviewing and following the applicable policies, including any fees disclosed in those documents.

Please contact us as early as possible if you need to change or cancel an appointment.

5. Nutrition Services and Individual Results

Nutrition recommendations are individualized and may consider dietary patterns, health history, laboratory results, medications, supplements, lifestyle factors, and personal goals.

Recommendations and services may vary based on individual needs and the scope of services available.

We do not guarantee specific health outcomes, symptom improvement, weight changes, laboratory results, or other results from nutrition counseling, dietary changes, supplements, or functional testing.

Results vary among individuals, and outcomes may depend on numerous factors, including medical conditions, adherence, lifestyle, and other treatments.

Functional Testing and Supplements

Where appropriate and within our professional scope, nutrition services may include discussion of laboratory testing, functional testing, or dietary supplements.

Testing availability, costs, interpretation, and follow-up recommendations may vary. Any testing or supplement recommendations should be considered in the context of your overall health and coordinated with your healthcare team when appropriate.

Supplements are not a substitute for necessary medical care. You should discuss potential interactions, contraindications, and changes to your medications with the appropriate healthcare professional.

6. Insurance, Payments, and Fees

Kelsey Essink Nutrition LLC may offer services through participating insurance plans and private-pay arrangements, depending on eligibility, provider participation, and service availability.

Insurance Coverage

Insurance coverage and reimbursement are determined by the applicable insurance company and plan. We cannot guarantee that a particular service will be covered, that a claim will be approved, or that your out-of-pocket costs will be zero.

Coverage may depend on your benefits, diagnosis, referral requirements, authorization requirements, provider network status, medical necessity criteria, and other plan provisions.

You are responsible for understanding your insurance benefits and any applicable copayments, coinsurance, deductibles, noncovered services, or other amounts for which you may be responsible under the applicable agreements and law.

Any coverage estimates provided before a service are not a guarantee of payment by an insurance company.

Private-Pay Services

Fees for private-pay services, testing, or other offerings will be communicated before the applicable service is provided.

Payment requirements, refunds, and other financial arrangements are governed by the financial policies or agreements applicable to the service.

Payment Processing

Third-party payment processors may be used to facilitate transactions. Their own terms and privacy practices may apply to payment information submitted through their platforms.
