FTC Disclosure

RCMC Medical Center ("RCMC," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to full transparency in all of our advertising, marketing, and promotional materials. This disclosure page is provided in compliance with guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under 16 CFR Part 255 — Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising — as well as the FTC Act's prohibition against unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

By visiting our website, landing pages, social media profiles, or any other RCMC marketing material, you acknowledge and agree to the disclosures outlined on this page.

RCMC Medical Center is a licensed functional medicine and weight loss clinic. While we provide medically supervised programs, the content shared on our website, social media channels, email communications, and landing pages is intended for informational and promotional purposes only.

No information on our website or in our advertising should be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any weight loss program, making changes to your diet, beginning a new supplement regimen, or starting or stopping any medication.

The weight loss programs offered by RCMC may include prescription medications, nutritional supplements, personalized meal plans, health coaching, and app-based tracking. These programs are administered under medical supervision, and individual treatment plans are determined during consultation with our medical team — not through our advertising materials.

Throughout our website, landing pages, social media, and marketing materials, we share patient testimonials, reviews, before-and-after photographs, and success stories. We want you to understand the following about these materials:

Testimonials are real. All testimonials, reviews, and patient stories shared by RCMC are from real patients who participated in our programs. We do not fabricate reviews or pay for testimonials. However, these accounts represent individual experiences and should not be understood as a promise of what every patient will achieve.

Before-and-after photos are real. All before-and-after images displayed in our marketing materials feature real RCMC patients. Photos have not been digitally altered to exaggerate results. Variations in lighting, clothing, posture, and photo quality between "before" and "after" images may occur naturally and are not intended to mislead.

Success rate claims. When we reference our program's success rate (for example, "90% success rate"), this figure is based on internal patient data from those who completed the program as directed. The success rate reflects the percentage of patients who completed the full program and achieved measurable, clinically documented weight loss. Patients who did not complete the program or who were lost to follow-up are not included in this figure. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.

Review counts. References to our five-star reviews reflect verified reviews posted on third-party platforms such as Google, Healthgrades, and similar review sites. Review counts are updated periodically and may not reflect the exact number at the time you view our materials.

RCMC Medical Center uses various channels to promote our programs and services, including but not limited to: paid social media advertising (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), Google Ads, email marketing, landing pages, and organic social media content.

Paid advertising. Some content you see from RCMC may be a paid advertisement. Paid ads are subject to the advertising policies of the respective platforms and are clearly identified as sponsored content where required by those platforms.

Free trial offers. When we offer a free trial period (such as our 2-Week Free Trial), the terms of that trial — including what is included, what happens at the end of the trial, and any subsequent financial commitment — are disclosed at the time of enrollment. A free trial does not obligate you to continue with a paid program unless you choose to do so.

No income or financial claims. RCMC Medical Center does not make income claims or financial promises related to our weight loss programs. Our programs are health services, not business opportunities.

In accordance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides, we disclose the following:

Patient endorsements. Some patients who share their stories, testimonials, or results may have received their program at a discounted rate, received free services, or been offered other incentives in exchange for their willingness to share their experience. Where this occurs, we will note the material connection. However, all patient testimonials reflect their genuine, unscripted opinions and experiences.

Social media influencers and partners. If RCMC partners with social media influencers, content creators, or other third parties to promote our services, those individuals are required to disclose their relationship with RCMC in their posts using clear and conspicuous language (e.g., #ad, #sponsored, or "Paid partnership with RCMC Medical Center"). RCMC is not responsible for third-party failures to disclose; however, we actively monitor and require compliance.

Staff and team members. Content shared by RCMC employees, providers, or team members on social media or other channels reflects their association with RCMC. Their opinions and statements about RCMC programs are informed by their professional roles within the organization.

Our landing pages and lead capture forms collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and health-related information (such as weight loss goals). This information is collected for the following purposes:

• To contact you regarding the offer, program, or consultation you requested
• To determine eligibility for our programs and ensure they are a safe and appropriate fit for your health profile
• To send follow-up communications including appointment reminders, program information, and related health content

By submitting your information through any RCMC form, you consent to being contacted by RCMC Medical Center via phone, email, and/or text message. You may opt out of communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in any email or by contacting us directly. For full details on how we handle your data, please contact us directly.

RCMC complies with the CAN-SPAM Act and all applicable electronic communication regulations. Every marketing email we send includes a clear unsubscribe mechanism, our physical mailing address, and accurate sender identification.

RCMC programs may include nutritional supplements as part of a comprehensive weight loss and metabolic health plan. Please be aware of the following:

Supplements are not FDA-approved drugs. Dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), but they are not subject to the same pre-market approval process as pharmaceutical drugs. Statements about supplements on our website have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Prescription medications. Where RCMC programs include prescription medications, these are prescribed by licensed medical providers after an individualized assessment. The inclusion of prescription medications in marketing materials does not constitute a prescription or medical recommendation for any individual viewer.

Our website and marketing materials may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or platforms (including scheduling software, payment processors, and review platforms). RCMC is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of information on third-party websites. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of the linked site by RCMC Medical Center.

We believe in full transparency and are happy to answer any questions about our advertising practices, testimonials, or disclosures. If you have questions or concerns, please contact us:
