INFORMED CONSENT FORM & TERMS FOR NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING
Consent for Nutritional Counselling
I hereby request and consent to Gazelle Nutrition Lab (Ashley Leone, RD) providing Nutrition Counselling to myself or the client for which I am legally responsible. I understand that the consultant will provide information and guidance about my diet, nutrition, and lifestyle.
I understand that Ashley Leone is a Registered Dietitian and she does not dispense medical advice, nor will she diagnose or treat any medical condition. Methods of nutritional evaluation or testing made available to me are not intended to diagnose disease. Rather, these assessments are intended as a guide to enhancing my nutritional health and supporting the achievement of my athletic goals.
Ashley will provide nutritional support and nutrition education that relates to athletic performance and, or, general healthy eating. Ashley may also provide nutritional counselling for an already diagnosed nutritionally related condition.
Confidentiality and Consent for Web-Based Counselling
Medical records and personal information and history divulged in session to Gazelle Nutrition will be kept confidential, unless I consent to share my medical information. Further, if I would like nutritional advice provided through web-supported platforms (including but not limited to Zoom and FaceTime) I understand and accept that Internet-associated activities are inherently at risk for a breach of personal information. I understand that if I schedule a web-based session that this implies consent and understanding of these risks.
Consent for Personal Information:
I accept that it will be necessary for Ashley Leone, RD, to collect personal, health and lifestyle information, e.g. home telephone, address, way of eating, etc.
Use, Disclosure, and Retention of Information
I understand that only information relevant to the provision of services for my nutritional management will be collected and that this information will be retained in my client health record for ten years following the last date of service (or ten years following my eighteenth birthday, whichever is longer). I give permission for this information to be shared with my primary care physician.
I understand that I may review the information in my file for accuracy and currency. If I disagree with the information, I accept that either a correction will be made or my disagreement will also be noted.
I understand that I may review the Privacy Policy of Gazelle Nutrition Lab so I can fully understand how it applies to me. I know that at any time I may ask questions about the Privacy Policy, and have them answered to my satisfaction.
Further, I understand that I may withdraw consent for any or all of the above at any time and that I should do so in writing.
