Legal & policies

The Cofactor Method is an educational, behavioral, nutrition-habit, and accountability coaching service. Nothing on this website, in our guides, plans, trackers, check-ins, messages, or consultations constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and none of it is a substitute for care from your physician, prescriber, or other qualified healthcare professional.

We do not prescribe, recommend, adjust, or advise on medication of any kind, including GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. Whether to start, continue, change, or stop any medication — and how to manage side effects — are decisions for you and your prescriber alone. Where our materials mention specific medications by name, the mention is factual and educational, not a recommendation. Always consult your prescriber before changing anything about your medication, diet, or exercise, especially if you have a medical condition or are pregnant or nursing.

Our program is built to help you keep results — it cannot promise that you will. Weight, body composition, and health outcomes depend on many factors we do not control. We make no guarantee of any specific outcome, timeline, or amount, and any figures we cite from published research describe study populations, not predictions about you. Our guarantees cover our conduct (see Refunds & Guarantees), never your results.

Our services and guides do not treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease or medical condition, including obesity, diabetes, or eating disorders. If you have a history of disordered eating, please involve your healthcare team before undertaking any weight-related program, ours included.

References to research reflect our reading of publicly available literature at the time of writing and are general in nature. Guides and plans are provided "as is"; use of them is at your own discretion and risk.

Some advisory materials contain affiliate links, disclosed where they appear. We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We recommend on merit only.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, do not use this website or wait for a coaching reply — call your local emergency number immediately.
