Medical Disclaimer
Effective Date: April 6, 2025
Last Updated: April 6, 2025
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using the RECLAIM Men's Health website, program materials, or coaching services. By accessing this website or engaging RECLAIM services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this disclaimer.
1. RECLAIM Is a Coaching Service, Not a Medical Service
RECLAIM Men's Health provides structured lifestyle coaching, health education, and evidence-informed guidance to support men in optimizing their energy, recovery, body composition, and overall wellbeing.
RECLAIM is not a medical service. It is not a clinical service. It is not a substitute for professional medical care, diagnosis, or treatment.
Nothing on this website, in our program materials, or communicated during coaching sessions should be interpreted as medical advice, clinical recommendations, or the practice of any regulated health profession within the context of a coaching engagement.
2. About Mike Athanassakis
Mike Athanassakis is a licensed pharmacist in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. His pharmacist credential informs the evidence-based, clinically literate approach he brings to health coaching.
However, when operating as a RECLAIM coach, Mike Athanassakis does not act in the capacity of a pharmacist, physician, or any other regulated healthcare provider. No pharmacist-client relationship, physician-patient relationship, or any other regulated professional relationship is established through RECLAIM coaching services.
The presence of a pharmacist credential does not change the nature of the service being provided. RECLAIM coaching is health education and lifestyle support, not clinical care.
3. No Diagnosis, Prescription, or Clinical Treatment
RECLAIM does not provide:
Diagnosis of any medical condition or disease
Prescription or recommendation of any medication, including hormonal therapies such as testosterone replacement therapy
Clinical interpretation of laboratory results in a diagnostic capacity
Treatment or management of any medical condition
Advice that is intended to replace the guidance of a licensed physician, specialist, or other regulated healthcare provider
Where lab testing or imaging services are facilitated through RECLAIM affiliate partnerships, the results of those services are reviewed in an educational and coaching context only. They do not constitute a clinical diagnosis and should be discussed with your physician or appropriate specialist for medical interpretation.
4. Your Responsibility to Maintain Medical Care
Engaging with RECLAIM does not replace the need for ongoing medical care. You are responsible for maintaining an active and current relationship with a licensed healthcare provider who is familiar with your medical history.
If you have an existing medical condition, are currently taking prescription medications, or have been advised by a healthcare provider to follow a specific health regimen, you must consult your provider before making any significant changes to your lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, supplementation, or health practices in connection with RECLAIM coaching.
If during the course of coaching any concern arises that appears to require medical evaluation, you will be advised to seek assessment from an appropriate healthcare professional. RECLAIM will not delay or discourage you from seeking necessary medical care.
5. Individual Results May Vary
Health and performance outcomes are influenced by a wide range of individual factors including genetics, medical history, pre-existing conditions, lifestyle, adherence, and factors outside the scope of coaching. RECLAIM does not guarantee specific outcomes related to energy, body composition, hormonal health, sleep quality, or any other health metric.
Testimonials or case examples referenced in RECLAIM materials reflect individual experiences and are not representative of results that every client will achieve.
6. Emergency Situations
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency department immediately.
Do not attempt to contact RECLAIM in place of emergency services. RECLAIM is not equipped to respond to medical emergencies and cannot provide emergency medical assistance of any kind.
Signs that may indicate a medical emergency include but are not limited to: chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden severe headache, loss of consciousness, signs of stroke, severe allergic reaction, or any other acute condition that you believe requires immediate attention.
7. Mental Health
If you are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, or any other mental health crisis, please contact a qualified mental health professional or crisis service immediately.
In Canada, you can reach the Crisis Services Canada helpline at 1-833-456-4566, available 24 hours a day. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
RECLAIM coaching addresses lifestyle factors that may support overall wellbeing but is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. Where mental health concerns arise during coaching, you will be encouraged and supported to seek appropriate professional care.
8. Scope of Coaching
RECLAIM coaching operates within the following boundaries:
Lifestyle assessment and structured coaching across sleep, nutrition, exercise, recovery, metabolic health, and stress management
Health education and evidence-based information to support informed decision-making
Facilitation of third-party lab and imaging services for informational and coaching purposes
Referral guidance to appropriate healthcare professionals where concerns fall outside the coaching scope
Accountability support and structured follow-up to help clients implement and maintain lifestyle changes
RECLAIM does not operate outside these boundaries and will clearly communicate when a concern requires medical rather than coaching attention.
