Terms, in plain language.

What this site is

The OPTN Protocol is an educational publication about men's health optimization. Everything on it is informational. Nothing on it is medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation, and reading it does not create a provider-patient relationship with anyone.

The assessment

The assessment is an orientation tool. It points you at a place to start reading. It is not a medical intake, a screening, or a diagnostic instrument. Decisions about your health belong with you and a licensed provider who has actually seen your labs.

When membership opens

Paid membership, when it opens in your state, will come with its own terms, presented before you pay anything. Joining the waitlist commits you to nothing and costs nothing.

Affiliate links

Some gear links are affiliate links, disclosed where they appear. We may earn a commission; your price is the same. Nothing in a medical protocol ever carries an affiliate link.

Accuracy

We cite real numbers and label speculation, and we still make mistakes. If you find one, reply to any email and we'll fix it. Content is provided as-is, without warranty.

Your account of this

Using the site means you accept these terms. If we change them in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the newsletter says so.
