If you’re already coaching nutrition clients, how’s it going? Are your clients compliant? Seeing results? Are you digging in beyond weight and even muscle and body fat for results? Are you lab testing? Do you know how to suggest and to read a lab and adjust coaching based on that?
If any of those questions gave you reason to pause, this is an episode you want to tune into. Juggling the scope of practice with the leverage you have due to the sheer fact you spend more time with a client than their physician does, is a reality. We talk today about that elephant in the room. What’s in scope, what’s out, how genetics matter and labs reflect lifestyle.
What if your training in other areas of fitness, wellness and sports as a Menopause Fitness Specialist or other niche, is missing a crucial component preventing the breakthroughs you are looking for with your clients?

Questions We Answer in This Episode:
- Let’s first define nutrition endocrinology and how you got started
- How are fitness & health pros shortchanged in certifications about how to coach people about diet?
- The one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work, but scope-of-practice makes fitness pros and health coaches nervous. How can health & fitness pros bridge the gap within their scope of practice when working with clients?
- Lab testing and interpretation combined with genetics is something listeners likely have a broad range in experience doing, to just beginning to understand they can actually be front lines in identifying their own and clients source of obstacles/success. For those not yet proficient or confident in their ability to support a client in this way, can you give them insight into how it can be a game-changer for their business and ability to support clients?
- This is my favorite topic for fitness & health pros, we’ve just done an entire new series on working with women in perimenopause, postmenopause and the menopause transition for coaches, I’d love to hear you discuss how hormones play a role in not only optimal fitness but nutrition programs for clients?
- You’ve been educating fitness & health practitioners for (how long?) You’ve seen not only a huge impact on your consumers, but likely on the businesses of the professionals you serve. Do you have any examples of how life-changing having these skills is for health & fitness pros?
