Individual Results May Vary

Testimonials, success stories, and before/after photos on this website represent individual experiences and results. These results are not guaranteed and may not be typical. Individual results will vary based on many factors including but not limited to:

• Genetics and hereditary factors
• Individual health status and pre-existing medical conditions

• Compliance with treatment plans and recommendations
• Environmental factors and exposures
• Medications and supplements being taken

Health outcomes depend on numerous individual factors, and we cannot guarantee that you will achieve the same results as those described in testimonials or case studies.

Lab Testing Disclaimer

Interpretation of Results

Laboratory test results must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider in the context of your complete medical history, physical examination, and other diagnostic information. Lab results alone do not provide a diagnosis.

Reference Ranges vs. Optimal Ranges

Standard laboratory reference ranges indicate what is "normal" for the general population but may not indicate optimal health. Functional medicine practitioners often use optimal ranges that may differ from standard reference ranges.

Limitations of Lab Testing

• Lab tests are screening tools, not definitive diagnostic tests
• False positives and false negatives can occur
• Results can be affected by medications, supplements, diet, stress, and other factors
• Additional or repeat testing may be necessary for accurate assessment
• Some conditions cannot be detected through laboratory testing alone

Supplement and Treatment Recommendations

Functional Medicine Approach

Star Medical Wellness uses a functional medicine approach that may differ from conventional medical practice. Our recommendations are based on:

• Current research in functional and integrative medicine
• Clinical experience and professional judgment
• Individual patient presentation and health goals

FDA Status

Many supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional medicine treatments recommended by Star Medical Wellness are not evaluated or approved by the FDA for the treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease. These products and treatments are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
