🤔 Thinking of becoming a coach? Start here.

Cautionary tale from my client Talia, a MD in Ohio who has a thriving in-person medical practice.

Despite her success, Talia was growing increasingly frustrated with standard five-minute patient appointments.⏱️She was tired of prescribing medications and working with people with serious medical conditions.

She wanted to help people BEFORE they got sick.

Driven by her passion to make a difference, Talia dreamed of getting out of medicine and taking a holistic approach. She wanted to address the root causes of medical issues and help prevent disease using diet and lifestyle modifications.

Talia had watched a few colleagues dip their toe into Functional Nutrition Coaching. She thought that would be the perfect next step for her, too.

Talia enrolled in a Functional Nutrition Coaching program.

She threw herself into the course, but when she reached Module 2, she was hit with a shocking revelation…

Ohio’s strict nutrition laws required that anyone offering one-on-one nutrition assessments or consulting be a Registered Dietitian (RD) or a licensed medical practitioner with nutrition in their scope of practice.

Talia didn’t want to continue being a doctor. She wanted to be a coach who helped clients with nutrition.

In her frustration, Talia reached out to me, hoping for a solution.

I had to break the hard truth to her….There was no way around Ohio’s tough nutrition law.

She couldn’t be a Functional Nutrition Coach in Ohio. She either had to become a RD or remain a doctor working with patients.

And now it was too late to get her money back from the coaching program she signed up for. The refund period had expired.

It was a tough pill to swallow, but it was the reality.

If only she had come to me first.

I hear from clients like Talia every day.

✖️ They don’t know the law before choosing a coaching program.
✖️ They don’t realize that nutrition laws in some states are super-strict.
✖️ They don’t know that the program they choose really matters that much. (It does!)

There are sooooo many high-quality coach training programs.

It can be hard to know which one is right for you based on your goals and where you’re located.
