Disclosures & Privacy Policy
This blog is a personal blog written and edited by Whitney Stuart.
Disclaimers
This website/blog is not meant as a substitute for individualized nutrition counseling. Although I am a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist and Certified Diabetic Educator, the meal ideas and recipes displayed on this website are general and may not necessarily be suited to your needs. For a personalized nutrition plan, please see the options under services, Whitness Nutrition.
I am not a certified personal trainer. Any workouts or exercises featured on this website or on my Pinterest pages are to be attempted at your own risk, after receiving approval from a doctor.
Partnerships and Compensation
This blog accepts forms of cash advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions or other forms of compensation.
I will partner with companies to test out new products, to create recipes using their products, and/or to promote their products, services, or events. These partnerships may be compensated, either in product or monetary compensation. Anytime I receive a product or access to an event/gym for free (or with payment involved), I make that clear. In all posts, sponsored or not, the opinions are always my own – I would never accept money to say I liked something I didn’t, nor will I accept partnerships with companies or brands that don’t uphold the same standards I have for my own brand and practice.
This blog abides by word of mouth marketing standards. We believe in honesty of relationship, opinion and identity.
The owner(s) of this blog may receive compensation for posts, but honest opinions, findings, beliefs, and experiences are always expresses. Opinions are purely from Whitney Stuart. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question.
Affiliate Links Disclosure
I occasionally post affiliate links.
