Terms of Service

Effective Date: 12/01/2024

Welcome to The Proud Boomer. By using this site, you’re agreeing to the following Terms of Service. Yes, this is the boring part, but it’s important. Please read it—preferably with a cup of coffee and your reading glasses.

1. Who We Are

The Proud Boomer is a health and wellness platform providing free and subscription-based, reader-supported content with a focus on healthy aging, strength, mindset, and the occasional rant about modern nonsense. The site may also offer coaching, digital resources, email subscriptions, and community interaction.

2. Use of This Site

By visiting this site or subscribing to any of its content, you agree to use it for personal, non-commercial purposes. That means:

• You won’t copy, republish, or sell the content without permission.

• You won’t misuse the content (i.e., pretending to be the author, using it to promote dangerous health practices, or selling it as an eBook on Etsy—yeah, we see you).

• You won’t try to break the site, hack it, or use it for anything shady.

Basically: be cool, act with integrity, and enjoy the content.

3. Health Disclaimer

While I am a certified wellness coach (or on the road to being one), I’m not a doctor. The content on this site is for informational and educational purposes only. It’s not medical advice, nor is it a substitute for seeing a qualified healthcare professional.

Always consult your physician before making any significant changes to your health or fitness routine—especially if you have any preexisting conditions.

4. Coaching & Consultations (If Offered)

If you engage in any coaching sessions, programs, or courses through this site, separate terms may apply. But just to be clear:

• Coaching is a partnership, not a prescription. I’ll support and guide you, but you’re responsible for your own decisions and outcomes.

• Results may vary. Anyone promising guaranteed outcomes is selling snake oil. I'm not that guy.

5. Emails & Subscriptions

If you sign up for emails, newsletters, or freebies, you’re consenting to receive communications from The Proud Boomer. I don’t spam. I don’t sell your info. You can unsubscribe anytime with one click—no guilt trips (okay, maybe a small one).

6. Comments & Community Conduct

If the site has comments or community features:

• Be respectful. Disagree, but don’t be a jerk.

• No hate speech, spam, harassment, or snake oil sales.

• I reserve the right to remove comments or block users who are disruptive or harmful. My site, my rules.

7. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, all content on this site—text, images, downloadable guides, and random sarcastic commentary—is the intellectual property of The Proud Boomer. Please don’t lift it, steal it, or repost it without proper credit and permission.

8. Third-Party Links & Resources

Sometimes I link to other sites, tools, or products. If I do:

• I’m not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.

• If I recommend something, it’s because I believe in it—not because someone paid me to say it. If that ever changes, I’ll disclose it.

9. Limitation of Liability

By using this site, you agree that The Proud Boomer and its owner (that’s me) aren’t liable for any damages, injuries, or cosmic consequences resulting from the use—or misuse—of any content provided.

Translation: You’re responsible for your own actions. You read something here, you try it, you own the results.

10. Changes to These Terms

I may update these terms from time to time. If the changes are significant, I’ll let you know. By continuing to use the site after changes are posted, you’re accepting the new terms—so feel free to check back now and then.

Stay strong,
