Disclaimers, Policies and Procedures: The Healthy Heart Project LLC (The Company)

It is important to note that, although this is a physician owned and operated business, since there is no in office contact, no doctor-patient relationship will be established, thus we will not technically be able to diagnose specific medical disease conditions, or prescribe pharmaceutical medications for you.  In fact, our recommendations are not meant to treat a specific medical diagnosis. Instead, they are meant to optimize and encourage the highest level of normal and natural function within your cardiovascular system. All clients are strongly encouraged to continue direct work with their primary physicians.
