Important: Please Read This Before Using Our Content
While Dishy Haven is created with love and backed by solid research, there are important things you need to know before diving into our hormone health content. This isn’t legal fine print to scare you—it’s real information to keep you safe and set proper expectations.
General Information Purpose
Educational Content Only: Everything on Dishy Haven—recipes, meal plans, hormone health information, supplement suggestions—is for educational purposes only. We’re here to share knowledge and help you make informed decisions, not to diagnose or treat medical conditions.
Not a Substitute for Professional Care: While Isabelle is a Registered Dietitian with specialized hormone health training, the content on this website cannot replace personalized medical care. Think of us as your knowledgeable friend who happens to know a lot about nutrition and hormones—helpful, but not a replacement for your healthcare team.
Individual Results Will Vary: Hormone health is incredibly individual. What transformed one woman’s PCOS symptoms might not work the same way for you. What helped another woman’s perimenopause journey might need modifications for your situation. We share what works for many people, but your body is unique.
Hormone Health Specific Disclaimers
Complex Medical Conditions: Conditions like PCOS, thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, endometriosis, and severe hormone imbalances often require medical intervention beyond nutrition. While nutrition can be incredibly supportive, it may not be sufficient alone.
Medication Interactions: If you take hormonal medications (birth control, hormone replacement therapy, thyroid medication, diabetes medication), dietary changes can potentially affect how these work. Always discuss significant diet changes with your prescribing physician.
Fertility and Pregnancy: Information about fertility, pregnancy nutrition, and postpartum recovery is general guidance only. These are times when personalized medical care is essential. Always work with qualified healthcare providers during these important phases.
Menopause Management: While nutrition can significantly support menopause symptoms, severe symptoms often require medical evaluation and potentially hormone replacement therapy or other medical interventions.
No Professional Relationship
No Dietitian-Client Relationship: Reading Dishy Haven content, following our meal plans, or emailing Isabelle doesn’t create a formal dietitian-client relationship. For personalized nutrition counseling, separate consultation agreements apply.
Medical Advice Limitations: Isabelle cannot provide specific medical advice through blog comments, emails, or social media interactions. General educational responses aren’t personalized medical guidance.
Emergency Situations: If you’re experiencing severe hormone-related symptoms, eating disorder behaviors, or health emergencies, seek immediate medical attention. Don’t rely on blog content for urgent health situations.
Results Not Guaranteed
Realistic Expectations: While many women see improvements in energy, cycle regularity, and hormone symptoms through nutritional changes, we cannot guarantee specific results. Hormone healing takes time—often months, not weeks.
Individual Factors: Your results depend on factors we can’t control: genetics, stress levels, sleep quality, other health conditions, medications, consistency with recommendations, and dozens of other variables.
Success Stories: The success stories we share are real, but they represent individual experiences. They don’t predict your outcomes, and we share them to provide hope and education, not to promise identical results.
Food Safety and Recipe Disclaimers
Kitchen Safety: You’re responsible for food safety in your own kitchen. This includes proper food storage, cooking temperatures, handling of raw ingredients, and modifications for food allergies or sensitivities.
Allergy Information: While we note major allergens when possible, we cannot guarantee our recipes are safe for all food allergies or sensitivities. Always check ingredients carefully if you have food restrictions.
Substitutions: Recipe substitutions can change nutritional content, taste, texture, and safety. Make substitutions at your own discretion and risk.
Special Diets: Information about specific eating approaches (keto, paleo, plant-based, etc.) is educational only. These approaches aren’t appropriate for everyone and may require medical supervision depending on your health status.
Supplement and Product Information
FDA Disclaimer: Supplement recommendations have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Supplements discussed are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Individual Needs: Supplement needs are highly individual. What’s helpful for one person’s hormone health might be unnecessary or even harmful for another. Always consult healthcare providers before starting new supplements.
Quality Concerns: While we recommend specific brands we trust, we cannot guarantee the quality, purity, or safety of any supplements or products mentioned.
Drug Interactions: Supplements can interact with medications. This is especially important for blood thinners, diabetes medications, and thyroid medications. Always check with your pharmacist or physician.
External Links and Third-Party Content
Outside Resources: We sometimes link to other websites, research studies, or third-party resources. We choose these carefully, but we’re not responsible for their content, accuracy, privacy practices, or changes after we link to them.
Research Citations: While we cite scientific studies to support our content, research is constantly evolving. We interpret studies for educational purposes, but this doesn’t constitute medical or scientific advice.
Professional Referrals: If we mention other healthcare providers or services, this doesn’t constitute a formal recommendation. Always research and verify credentials of any healthcare providers you choose to work with.
Content Accuracy and Updates
Current Information: We strive to keep all content current with the latest research, but nutrition and hormone health sciences evolve rapidly. Information that was accurate when published might become outdated.
Regular Reviews: We review and update content regularly, but we cannot guarantee that every piece of information is the most current available at the time you read it.
Error Reporting: If you find outdated or incorrect information, please email contact@dishyhaven.com so we can correct it promptly.
Age and Health Status Considerations
Adult Content: Dishy Haven is designed for adult women dealing with hormone health challenges. Information may not be appropriate for adolescents, elderly individuals, or those with serious medical conditions without professional guidance.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: While we provide some pregnancy and postpartum nutrition information, these are times when professional nutritional guidance is especially important. General content cannot replace personalized prenatal care.
Eating Disorder History: If you have a history of disordered eating, some of our content around meal planning and nutrition might not be appropriate without professional support. Please prioritize your mental health and work with qualified professionals.
