Beyond Health Coaching: What It Really Takes to Help Complex Clients

What if your patient’s “normal labs” were hiding a serious disease? What if protocols were making them worse, and you didn’t know?

In this episode, Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo sits down with functional nutrition experts and NEPT grads Steph Jackson and Jennifer Whitmire to challenge the shallow training and one-size-fits-all approaches flooding the health coaching industry.
