1. About This Website
Running Midlife publishes articles, guides, tools, and digital products about running, training, nutrition, and general wellbeing for women in midlife. We also offer free downloadable resources, an email newsletter, and paid digital products.
2. Health and Medical Disclaimer
This is the most important section of these Terms. Please read it carefully.
All content on this Website — including articles, training plans, calculators, tools, downloadable guides, and paid digital products — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for professional medical care.
Katrin Gorchian is a runner and a professionally trained chef. She is not a doctor, dietitian, physiotherapist, herbalist, or licensed healthcare provider, and nothing on this Website constitutes medical, dietary, or clinical advice.
Specifically:
- Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before beginning, changing, or stopping any exercise program, diet, supplement, herb, or health-related practice — particularly if you have any medical condition, are pregnant, are taking medication, or have symptoms that concern you.
- Content about menopause, perimenopause, hormones, supplements, and herbs is educational summary only. It is not a recommendation to treat yourself, and it is not a substitute for a consultation with your own clinician.
- Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read on this Website.
- If you have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
Individual results vary. Training and nutrition responses differ between people, and nothing on this Website is a promise or guarantee of any particular outcome.
You use the information on this Website entirely at your own risk.
