8.     Empowerment and Shared Responsibility 8.1. The Magnolia Clinic is committed to empowering you to take charge of your health.

Since everyone's body is unique, we cannot guarantee specific outcomes from our assessments and recommendations. 8.2. Your baseline health condition, its duration, and your individual response to various treatment approaches all influence the results and timelines. Our role is to provide you with technical, scientific, and medical support to empower you on your health journey.

We will always advise you to discuss any medication changes with your GP before stopping anything. 13.2. We offer a discount code for supplements purchased through our partner companies. These companies provide us with a small referral fee and offer you a discount. If you find the same product elsewhere for less, please purchase there. Ensure it's the exact brand and formulation, as supplement quality varies.

To support your ongoing healthcare, your practitioner may need to share some information with third parties, such as pharmacies to dispense medications or laboratories for testing.
