Health information disclaimer
Bold Leap provides health education and information based on personal experience, published research, and general health literacy principles. The content on this website — including all articles, guides, downloadable resources, email communications, and social media posts — is intended for educational purposes only.
Bold Leap does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The information shared on this site is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare provider. Nothing on this website is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition.
Not a healthcare provider
The author of Bold Leap (Lexi) is not a doctor, nurse, dietitian, naturopath, or licensed healthcare practitioner. Content is shared from the perspective of a health educator and patient advocate with lived experience navigating complex chronic conditions. The information presented reflects personal research, publicly available scientific literature, and the author’s own health journey.
What this site does
Bold Leap aims to help readers understand connections between body systems that are often treated in isolation, interpret blood work results and understand what “normal” versus “optimal” means, navigate the healthcare system more effectively by being informed and prepared, and ask better questions in medical consultations.
What this site does not do
Bold Leap does not diagnose conditions or suggest diagnoses. It does not recommend specific treatments, medications, or supplement protocols for individuals. It does not replace the advice of your doctor, specialist, or qualified healthcare provider. It does not claim that the information presented is universally agreed upon within the medical community.
Consult your healthcare provider
Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your medication, starting or stopping supplements, modifying your diet based on health conditions, making decisions about testing or diagnosis, or taking any action based on information found on this site.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 000 (Australia) or your local emergency number immediately.
Accuracy and currency
We make every effort to ensure the information on this site is accurate and up to date at the time of publication. However, medical and scientific knowledge evolves continuously. Information that was accurate at the time of writing may be superseded by newer research.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or currency of any information on this site. Where specific numbers, ranges, or statistics are cited, they are drawn from published literature and clinical guidelines available at the time of writing and may vary by laboratory, jurisdiction, and clinical context.
Optimal versus standard ranges
Where this site discusses “optimal” blood work ranges as distinct from standard laboratory reference ranges, these optimal ranges are drawn from functional medicine literature and integrative clinical practice. They are not universally adopted in mainstream medicine. Your healthcare provider may use different ranges, and their clinical judgement, based on your individual health context, should guide your care decisions.
External links
This website may contain links to external sites, resources, and products. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of external websites. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.
Affiliate relationships
In the future, Bold Leap may participate in affiliate programs, meaning we may earn a small commission if you purchase a product or service through a link on our site. This does not affect the price you pay. We will only recommend products or services we believe are genuinely useful. Any affiliate relationships will be clearly disclosed.
Digital products
Digital products sold through Bold Leap (such as guides, cheat sheets, courses, or other downloadable resources) are educational materials, not medical advice or treatment plans. They are designed to support your health literacy and self-advocacy — not to replace professional care.
All digital product sales are final. Due to the nature of digital downloads, refunds are generally not available. If you experience a technical issue preventing access to your purchase, please contact us and we will resolve it.
Testimonials and personal stories
Any personal stories, experiences, or outcomes shared on this site — whether by the author or by community members — represent individual experiences and are not guarantees of results. Health outcomes vary based on individual circumstances, genetics, existing conditions, and the guidance of healthcare providers.
