2. Health and Medical Responsibility

2.1 The client confirms that they have no current/recurring injuries or health conditions that would impact their ability to engage safely in the service. The client is responsible for discussing any health concerns with their GP prior to any consultations. This includes ensuring that no medical conditions or prescribed medications would prevent them from using the service. The client understands that the services provided are in no way designed to replace the services of your in-person NHS or private General Practitioner (GP), other NHS care provider, or hospital. The client agrees that the services provided are supplementary to any medical advice or treatment that they are receiving or should receive from their GP and/or any NHS care provider.

2.2 The client accepts responsibility to disclose any medical history that may affect their ability to use the services effectively. The client confirms that any information provided about their health is accurate and truthful.

2.3 DrRyanSmith has no responsibility to update any healthcare providers (including but not limited to their GP or health insurance policies) about results, findings, recommended treatments, medications, and diagnoses. This remains the sole responsibility of the client. This includes but is not limited to:
• Blood test results that fall outside of normal laboratory ranges.
• Abnormal or concerning findings from investigations or tests discussed during consultations.
• Starting any new medications or supplements

2.4 The client must advise DrRyanSmith of any changes to their health, address or other relevant information during the coaching period.

3. IPED Use (Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs)

3.1 The client acknowledges and understands that the use of IPEDs is never safe. The client acknowledges that IPED use can result in irreversible damage, including life-changing injuries, diseases, and sudden death at any age. The client accepts full responsibility for any physical, psychological, or other damages resulting from the use of IPEDs, even if such damages occur after discontinuing their use.

3.2 By using the service for IPED guidance, the client accepts that the only medical advice from DrRyanSmith regarding IPEDs is to cease their use. Any further guidance or discussion on IPEDs, including but not limited to, drug choice, dosing, or administration does not constitute medical advice. The client accepts that they would still be taking IPEDs even without using services provided by DrRyanSmith.

3.3 The client understands that DrRyanSmith will be in no way involved in helping to provide, source, or recommend specific places to source IPEDs. The client is therefore solely responsible for where they source any drugs, prescribed or otherwise, and DrRyanSmith has no liability for any side effects or damages that may occur from their use.

4. Training and Exercise Guidance

4.1 It is the client’s responsibility to consult their GP to ensure they are fit and healthy enough to engage in physical exercise.

4.2 The client must immediately discontinue any exercise that causes pain or discomfort and if necessary seek medical help through the appropriate provider.

4.3 The client accepts that training for competitive sports, especially bodybuilding, can result in injury, even when technique and recovery are executed properly. The client accepts full responsibility for any injuries or discomfort that may occur as a result of exercise.

5. Scope of Service

5.1 The primary purpose of the services provided is to improve sport performance. The client understands that this is not equivalent to ideal health, fitness, or longevity advice. The client accepts that the pursuit of optimising performance in their sport (even in the absence of IPED use) can come with consequences to their health and longevity.

5.2 The client is responsible for reading all labels, warnings, and safety information on supplements or medications they take, even if recommended during consultations.

5.3 DrRyanSmith holds no responsibility for advice or outcomes provided by third parties, even where the client has been directed to other websites or third-party services.
