Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using our website. By visiting and using this Site, you accept and agree to be bound by this Disclaimer along with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site.
1. Medical and Health Disclaimer (Important)
Hi, I’m Emma! I am a recipe developer and someone who is passionate about sharing my personal journey with autoimmune and gut-healing diets. However, I am not a doctor, medical professional, registered dietitian, or nutritionist.
The content on Food By Steps—including recipes, blog posts, tips, and guidelines—is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is based solely on my personal experiences and research.
This information is NOT intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, food allergies, autoimmune diseases, or gut health. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this Site.
2. Food Allergies and Intolerances
While my recipes are designed to be safe and comforting for gut-healing diets, every individual’s body reacts differently.
- You are strictly responsible for your own health and safety.
- Always read the labels of the specific ingredients you use at home to ensure they fit your dietary needs and are free from cross-contamination (e.g., ensuring oats are certified gluten-free).
- Food By Steps is not responsible or liable for any adverse reactions, allergies, or illnesses that may result from following the recipes or consuming the foods mentioned on this Site.
3. Nutritional Information Accuracy
From time to time, Food By Steps may provide approximate nutritional information for recipes (such as calories, macros, etc.). This information is calculated using third-party online calculators.
While we strive to provide accurate information, these figures are only estimates. The actual nutritional value can vary significantly based on the exact brands of ingredients you use, portion sizes, and preparation methods. If keeping track of exact nutritional intake is critical to your health, we recommend using your own preferred calculator with the exact ingredients you use.
4. Kitchen and Food Safety
Cooking involves certain risks, including but not limited to using sharp knives, hot stoves, and handling raw food. By using our recipes, you agree that you are solely responsible for following proper food safety guidelines (like cooking meats to safe temperatures) and kitchen safety practices. Food By Steps assumes no responsibility for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur in your kitchen.
5. Affiliate Links Disclosure
Food By Steps may occasionally use affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link to a product (e.g., a specific gut-friendly ingredient or a kitchen tool on Amazon) and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
I only recommend products and services that I genuinely use, trust, and believe will add value to my readers. Earning these commissions helps me keep this blog running and continue providing free recipes for you.
6. No Guarantees
While my goal is to help you heal your gut and love your food again, I cannot guarantee any specific results. Health and healing journeys are highly individualized. What worked for me may not work for you. You agree that Food By Steps is not responsible for the success or failure of your personal health, diet, or cooking decisions.
