Educational purposes only
All content on this site, including articles, podcast episodes, interviews, videos, downloads, guides and links to outside sources, is for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. It is not a substitute for an individualized evaluation by your physician or another licensed healthcare provider.
My role and credentials
I am a clinical exercise physiologist, not a physician. I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, and nothing on this site should be read as a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
No professional relationship
Reading this site, listening to the podcast, watching videos, downloading materials, sending a message, booking a call or attending a public talk does not create a client, provider-patient or any other professional relationship with Aesha Tahir or Tone & Strengthen LLC. A professional relationship begins only after we both sign a written agreement for services.
Talk to your healthcare provider first
Check with your healthcare provider before starting a new exercise, nutrition or wellness program. This is especially important if any of these apply to you:
- You are pregnant or postpartum.
- You have a heart, lung, metabolic, joint or other medical condition.
- You take medication.
- You are recovering from an injury or surgery.
- You have not been physically active recently.
Exercise involves risk
All physical activity carries some risk of injury. If you try any exercise, routine, stretch or fitness test described on this site, including VO2 max estimates and other self-assessments, you do so voluntarily and at your own risk. Stop right away and seek medical care if you feel chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath, dizziness, faintness or unusual pain.
No personal recommendations
Guidance about exercise, posture, nutrition, sleep and stress on this site is general. It may not be right for you. Whether a program fits you depends on your health history, current fitness, medications and goals, which only a qualified professional who has evaluated you can assess.
Podcast guests and interviews
9 to 5 Wellness episodes and other interviews feature guests who share their own experiences, opinions and expertise. Their views are their own and do not necessarily reflect mine or those of Tone & Strengthen LLC. I do not independently verify every statement or credential a guest shares. Featuring a guest, or their book, product or service, does not mean I endorse it.
Brand partnerships and sponsored content
Some episodes, articles and posts are created in partnership with brands, or feature products I was paid or given to review. I disclose these partnerships in the episode, article or post where they appear. Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you buy through them, at no extra cost to you.
Articles and outside sources
Some articles on this site were first published by other outlets and are shared here with permission or with a link to the original. Some content summarizes or cites research studies, news articles and other outside sources. Those works belong to their authors and publishers. Citing or linking to a source does not mean I agree with or endorse everything in it.
Evidence and results
Research on exercise, nutrition and longevity keeps evolving, and evidence is stronger for some topics than others. Individual results vary, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Emergencies
This site is not for emergencies. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Do not change your care based on this site
Do not start, stop or change any medication or treatment, or delay seeking medical care, because of something you read, watched or heard here.
Accuracy and updates
I work to keep content accurate and current, but health science changes, and older articles and episodes may not reflect the latest research. Content is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. Aesha Tahir and Tone & Strengthen LLC are not liable for decisions you make based on it.
