Here’s how to have safe language on your website.

by | Mar 31, 2025 | DIY Legal Master Classes

My client, Olivia, is an OB/GYN who helps women navigate the rollercoaster of menopause without losing their minds. Not an easy thing!

Her in-person practice is thriving, but she recently decided to start blogging on her website about menopause (because, let’s be honest, there’s way too much “just deal with it” advice online.)

She had seen other doctors get in trouble for phrasing things the wrong way.

She didn’t want to say something risky – or be accused of making a medical claim when she was only trying to provide helpful tips.

Could say she things on her website like:

❓”Here are the 3 supplements which support hormone balance so you don’t bite everyone’s head off every minute of the day.”

❓”These 4 foods help your brain fog so you can remember where you put your keys.”

❓”Here are 5 tips to help you fall asleep – and stay asleep! – all night long.”

I told Olivia that I had just the right option for her: A Website Audit.

A Website Audit can give you peace of mind that you’re using safe language and reducing risk so you won’t be accused of making medical claims.

Here’s how it works. The Website Audit is a 60-minute paid consultation with just you and me and your website content over Zoom.

My expertise as a former health care attorney and trained as a health coach myself is to spot risky language, especially medical language.

During the Website Audit, we can:

  • walk through your website page by page to identify what language might be risky – and what to say instead
  • answer questions about your specific concerns

It’s your choice as to what parts of your website we cover in our hour together.

You walk away feeling safe, secure, confident and empowered to share your website with others without worry or stress.

(And psst! Just to let you know, the phrasing of all 3 of my examples above is correct for both licensed medical practitioners AND health coaches to use on their websites. Why? Because they’re all just general, non-personalized tips saying the same thing to everyone, nor do they specifically address menopause as a medical diagnosis. Rather, they’re just general tips about hormone balance, brain fog, and sleeping through the night. This is how you want to do it too….)

Not sure if your website language is cutting it?
