HEALTH & WELLNESS DISCLAIMER
Sandpiper Magazine celebrates the natural beauty, health, and spirit of Ventura County. Our mission is to inspire readers to live well—body, mind, and soul—by connecting them with the people, places, and practices that make our community thrive.
​
The content featured in Sandpiper Magazine (both in print and online) is intended for general informational and educational purposes only. We are not doctors or medical professionals, and the information shared should never be interpreted as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
​
Readers are encouraged to consult qualified healthcare providers before making any changes to diet, lifestyle, or medical care. While we highlight wellness practitioners, local farms, and natural health approaches, inclusion does not imply endorsement, nor does it replace professional medical guidance.
​
Some features or stories may be paid partnerships or sponsored collaborations with businesses or practitioners whose values align with our mission. These pieces are always clearly labeled as such and are included to highlight local offerings—not to provide medical advice or reflect the opinions of the publication or its editors.
​
Any product claims, nutritional advice, or wellness recommendations mentioned by contributors or advertisers are the sole responsibility of the source and have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Sandpiper Magazine is built on respect—for nature, for each other, and for the diverse paths to wellness found across Ventura County. We invite readers to explore, learn, and connect responsibly with the people and resources that support their individual health journeys.
