Helping clients with nutrition goals | Ep 17

In this episode of The Health Coach Show, we take a deep dive into how to navigate nutrition and what Health Coaches can do to support clients in the area of Nutrition.

We discuss our scope of practice as health coaches and answer the question "Do I need to be a nutrition expert be be effective as a Health Coach?"

Clients need health coaches to support them with implementation, not information! We can direct them to credible sources of information and help them gain clarity.

As Coaches, we approach our clients with curiosity and can support them to gain awareness about current choices, habits and what needs might be driving behaviours

We consider:

• What do our clients really need?
• Is there an information gap?
• Is there a skills gap?

We can always refer to Dietitians and Accredited Nutritionists for personalised meal plans and advice on chronic disease management.
