Health & Educational Disclaimer
Last updated: November 8, 2026
Please read this disclaimer carefully. It explains the important difference between the Institute's natural medicine education and services that require a licensed medical professional.
1. Nature of Our Services
The Institute provides wellness education, natural medicine education, and related learning opportunities. Dr. Tapeka Fennell-Francis holds credentials in natural and holistic medicine (Ph.D., DNM, DHM, BCNMP | AANWP). The Institute’s offerings — including the complimentary consultation, the Journal, the podcast, memberships, and speaking engagements — are educational in nature.
These offerings are not the practice of medicine, nursing, or another licensed healthcare profession, and they are not a substitute for evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed healthcare provider.
2. No Doctor–Patient Relationship
Using this website, submitting a form, attending a complimentary consultation, or subscribing to a membership does not create a doctor–patient, provider–patient, or clinical relationship between you and the Institute or Dr. Fennell-Francis.
3. Always Consult a Licensed Professional
Always seek the advice of a qualified licensed healthcare professional regarding any medical condition, symptom, or treatment. Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read, hear, or receive through this website. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.
4. Do Not Submit Sensitive Health Information
The contact, consultation-request, and speaking-inquiry forms on this website are general-purpose communication tools. They are not secure or HIPAA-compliant channels. Please do not include medical histories, diagnoses, test results, medication lists, or other sensitive health information in any form submission.
5. Atmospheric Intelligence™ and the Quadrant™
Atmospheric Intelligence (AI)™ and the Mind | Body | Spirit | World Quadrant™ are emerging interdisciplinary frameworks developed by Dr. Fennell-Francis. They are presented as educational concepts and proposed frameworks for exploration. They are not validated clinical findings, established medical protocols, or guaranteed outcomes. Anatomical and scientific illustrations on this website are conceptual and educational; they are not verified for clinical or anatomical accuracy.
6. No Guarantees
The Institute makes no guarantees regarding any health, wellness, or educational outcome resulting from use of its content, consultations, or memberships. Individual results vary and depend on many factors outside the Institute’s control.
7. External Telehealth
This website links to an external telehealth partner. Any clinical services provided through that partner are delivered by that partner under its own licensure, terms, and policies. The Institute does not provide and is not responsible for clinical services delivered through third-party telehealth platforms.
8. Affiliates and Recommendations
Where the Institute recommends or links to products, services, or third-party platforms, any compensation relationship is disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure. Recommendations are educational and do not constitute medical advice.
