Medical Disclaimer

1. Not Medical Advice

The content published on toned.health — treatment pages, articles, comparisons, glossary entries, and any other written or visual content — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified, licensed healthcare provider.

Always consult a licensed provider before starting, stopping, or modifying any medication, supplement, or treatment program. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

2. Telehealth Services and the Provider Relationship

Toned is an educational and access brand. The clinical experience — the online health intake, provider review, and ongoing care — is delivered through a dedicated telehealth platform by independently licensed healthcare providers. Toned does not practice medicine and is not a medical provider, medical group, or licensed healthcare facility.

When you complete the online intake, your information is reviewed by an independent licensed clinician who is solely responsible for the clinical evaluation and any prescribing decision. Any provider-patient relationship exists exclusively between you and the reviewing provider — not between you and Toned. Providers prescribe at their sole discretion and in compliance with applicable state medical practice laws.

Telehealth has inherent limitations compared to in-person care, including the inability to perform a physical examination. You should maintain a primary care provider for ongoing and comprehensive healthcare needs.

3. Compounded Medications and FDA Status

Where clinically appropriate, a provider may prescribe a compounded medication — such as compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy. The following disclosures apply:

• Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished drug products. They have not undergone FDA review for safety, efficacy, or manufacturing quality as finished formulations
• The active pharmaceutical ingredients used in compounding may also appear in FDA-approved medications; the compounded formulations themselves are distinct products and are not individually reviewed or approved by the FDA
• Compounded medications are legally prepared under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and may be prescribed when a licensed provider determines they meet a patient's specific clinical needs
• Some medications are prescribed off-label or as compounded preparations; your provider will discuss the evidence and limitations relevant to any protocol they prescribe
• Toned does not manufacture, compound, store, ship, or dispense any medications. All preparation and dispensing is performed by the licensed pharmacy named on your prescription label
• Questions about a specific medication's ingredients, sterility, or stability should be directed to the dispensing pharmacy

4. No Guarantee of Prescription

Reading this website, starting the online intake, or completing a consultation does not guarantee that a provider will prescribe medication. All prescribing decisions are made solely by the licensed provider based on your submitted health history and their independent clinical evaluation. A provider may determine you are not a candidate for the requested treatment for any clinical reason, including contraindications or conditions that require in-person evaluation. Toned has no influence over these decisions.

5. Risks and Side Effects

All medications carry potential risks and side effects. Discuss the full risk profile of any prescribed medication with your provider before beginning treatment. The following summary is informational only and does not replace your provider's guidance.

Common side effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists (including semaglutide and tirzepatide):

• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Decreased appetite and fatigue
• Injection site reactions

Serious but rare risks may include:

• Pancreatitis — stop use and seek medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain
• Gallbladder problems, including gallstones
• Kidney problems or worsening of existing kidney disease
• Hypoglycemia, particularly when combined with other diabetes medications
• Serious allergic reactions
• Risk of thyroid C-cell tumors observed in animal studies — GLP-1 receptor agonists should not be used by patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2

Other compounds discussed on this site for education carry their own risk profiles, which vary by compound. No list here is comprehensive — disclose all current medications, supplements, and health conditions during your intake.

6. Emergency Disclaimer

The consultation flow linked from this website is designed for non-urgent, elective care only. If you experience a medical emergency — including chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness, stroke symptoms, or severe abdominal pain — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Do not wait for a response through the patient portal.

7. Adverse Event Reporting

If you experience a serious adverse event or unexpected reaction related to a prescribed medication, you are encouraged to:

• Contact your prescribing provider immediately through the patient portal
• Report the event to the FDA MedWatch program by phone at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at fda.gov/medwatch
• Report the event to the dispensing pharmacy, whose contact information appears on your medication label

8. Individual Results and Testimonials

Weight loss and other health outcomes vary significantly from person to person and depend on individual biology, health conditions, adherence, nutrition, physical activity, and other variables. Toned does not guarantee any specific outcome.

Testimonials, patient stories, and before-and-after images featured on this website are illustrative examples and are not necessarily representative of typical results. They are provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be interpreted as a prediction or guarantee of your own results.

9. Third-Party Links

This website may link to third-party websites and resources for informational purposes. These links are not an endorsement, and Toned has no control over — and accepts no responsibility for — the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site.
