Donations are for helping Her Metabolism to reach its goals. To set up a donation, contact us. Many donations will be tax-deductible, once her Metabolism secures 501c3 status.
Currently, no donations to Her Metabolism are tax-deductible because Her Metabolism does not yet have 501c3 status - but we are working on that.
Coming up.
Coming up.
Not all donations are money. Lots of other help is welcomed, needed, and appreciated. Here is a list of some current non-money needs that would help HerMetabolism.org:
Sharing the pages is a big help.
HerMetabolism.org needs a self-hosted commenting system. (Besides HTML and CSS, HerMetabolism.org is built on mostly PHP, with some javascript.)
The print, email, and share buttons only work reliably on desktop. Of course, the buttons should work on mobile too. For now, on mobile, printing works on a few mobile browsers, and all mobile browsers generate an SSL warning that prevents the functionality of all sharing buttons. (Besides HTML and CSS, HerMetabolism.org is built on mostly PHP, with some javascript.)
Here in the USA, it is generally illegal and a bad idea for anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed physician to give medical advice, anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed attorney to give legal advice, anyone but a jurisdiction-licensed nutritionist or registered dietician to give metabolic advice, and so forth. This website's information is generally incomplete to predict how applying it may affect a given visitor - because the effects depend on the person's unique circumstances and characteristics.
So, here is the only medical, legal, and metabolic advice on this website: None of this website is individualized medical, legal, or metabolic advice. It is general information. You should not try to apply any of this information to your life, unless you know what you are doing. Generally, the governments of USA's jurisdictions (states and territories) declare two things through law:
Obviously, those standards are extremely conservative, if not heavy-handed. However, one should remember that many of those people in government who uphold such strict standards have seen the stuff of nightmares: predictable, preventable, terrible consequences when the least capable and least conscientious people make the worst decisions - whether medically, legally, nutritionally, or otherwise. So, it is not wildly unreasonable to promote - even to legally command - erring on the safe side. Still, various jurisdictions do provide some exceptions to those exceptionally strict standards under law.
Here in Minnesota (and in many other U.S. states and territories) a person can help you with certain aspects of your medical, legal, and metabolic status and circumstances - even when that person is not formally licensed by the jurisdiction. Minnesota, for example, allows various people besides licensed nutritionists and registered dieticians to give metabolic advice and guidance: certain Complementary and Alternative Health Care providers, which Minnesota allows under law. Minn. Stat. ยง 146A. Thus, one need not feel completely locked into the strict standards listed above (though jurisdictions do typically still hold alternative providers to certain basic standards under law). Instead, in the USA, one can discuss the information on this website, and receive guidance about it, from various experts - whether jurisdiction-licensed or not. Meanwhile, this thorough and smart-sounding notice and explanation should not tempt any visitor into having any extra trust for the information in this website. At most, as the saying goes: "trust but verify."
