Ep. 85 - Scope of Practice: The Line Between Coaching, Medicine, and Harm

Scope of practice is one of the most ignored, and most dangerous, issues in modern fitness and health coaching.

In this episode, we break down what doctors, registered dietitians, nutritionists, personal trainers, and health coaches are actually qualified to do, and where crossing the line puts clients at risk.

We discuss how fear-based marketing, anti-medicine narratives, and “do-everything” coaching models have blurred professional boundaries, leading to misinformation, missed diagnoses, and real harm. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who values ethics, evidence, and client safety over clout.
