⚖ Binding Client Protocol
1. Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) Scope of Practice

Understanding the role of a certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

Cherie Miranda is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) candidate. Services, lifestyle protocols, and functional lab test analyses provided by CM Holistic Wellness are intended to educate, inform, and guide clients on self-care, wellness habits, diet, and lifestyle improvements. CM Holistic Wellness does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any specific disease or medical condition. All recommendations are designed to uncover hidden metabolic stressors and support normal biological functions rather than manage pathology.

Key stipulations:
  • FDN practitioners do not prescribe pharmaceutical medications or perform medical procedures.
  • Functional wellness assessments explore subclinical imbalances, not diagnostic disease classifications.
  • You must continue active care and regular check-ups with your licensed primary care physician.
Educational clarity regarding consultations, blog articles, and wellness materials.
All content, consultations, handouts, blog posts, and communications from CM Holistic Wellness are for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing shared constitutes formal medical advice or establishes a traditional doctor-patient relationship. You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website or discussed during coaching sessions.
Key stipulations:
  • If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room immediately.
  • Consult your physician prior to introducing new supplements, fasts, or substantial dietary adjustments.
  • Laboratory test kits facilitated through CM Holistic Wellness are educational assessments for wellness coaching.
Your role, proactive participation, and personal autonomy in your health journey.
Holistic wellness coaching is an active partnership. As a client, you maintain complete autonomy, choice, and responsibility for all decisions concerning your health, nutrition, supplementation, sleep, and physical activity. You agree to provide accurate, up-to-date information regarding your medical history, existing diagnoses, and ongoing prescription regimens.
Key stipulations:
  • You agree to inform your prescribing doctor of any dietary or lifestyle changes you undertake.
  • You acknowledge that sustainable wellness requires ongoing personal effort, consistency, and time.
  • You accept full personal accountability for the implementation of any lifestyle strategies discussed.
Clear rules regarding booking reservations, rescheduling, and late cancellations.
We reserve dedicated one-on-one time for every consultation and lab interpretation. To respect both client and coach schedules, CM Holistic Wellness requires at least forty-eight (48) hours of advance written notice to reschedule or cancel any scheduled appointment without penalty.
Key stipulations:
  • Cancellations made with at least 48 hours notice may be rescheduled at no additional charge.
  • Cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice or missed appointments ('no-shows') forfeit the session fee.
  • Emergency circumstances are reviewed on an individual basis at the discretion of CM Holistic Wellness.
Standard legal boundaries governing coaching services and digital resources.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CM Holistic Wellness, Cherie Miranda, and any affiliated contractors or representatives shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of coaching services, functional assessments, website content, or third-party laboratory services.
Key stipulations:
  • Clients assume all risks associated with implementing lifestyle and wellness recommendations.
  • CM Holistic Wellness is not responsible for errors or interpretations made by independent third-party laboratories.
  • You agree to hold harmless and indemnify CM Holistic Wellness against any claims or legal actions.
How your personal assessments, communication logs, and data are protected.
CM Holistic Wellness respects your personal privacy. Client consultation notes, intake questionnaires, and functional lab results are kept confidential and are never shared or sold to third-party marketers. Digital records are maintained using secure, password-protected systems.
Key stipulations:
  • Records are shared only with explicit written consent from the client or as required by law.
  • Email and text communications are intended for general questions, appointment logistics, and progress notes.
  • Review our full Privacy Policy page for detailed specifics regarding online website data handling.
