Common questions

Quick answers.

Is there really no cost?

Yes. The kit is free. We use email so we can send you future tools when they are ready, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

I already downloaded the kit. Can I get the PDF again?

Yes—submit the form again with the same email. You will get the thank-you page again with download and open-in-new-tab links.

Will you email me?

We may send occasional messages when we publish new free tools. You can unsubscribe from any email. After you submit, you will see a thank-you page with clear download and “open in new tab” options.

Is this medical advice?
