Most health coaches violate the law: Summary
In this episode of Podcast Detective Health Health from the functional diagnostic diet, the host Evan Transue is linked to a lawyer and certified health coach Christy Westerfeld to discuss the critical legal aspects that health coachs need to consider properly and safely. Christy emphasizes the importance of proper business structure, such as the choice between individual ownership, LLC and S-Corp, and emphasizes the need for a strong fundamental understanding of legal concepts for the protection of both business and customers.
It advises the importance of creating the right legal documentation and contracts from the commencement to avoid possible traps such as personal liability and tax -related issues. Westerfeld also deals with the common legal difficulties made by health coaches, such as involuntary ascetic medicine with the diagnosis, prescription or treatment of customers without proper medical qualifications. It highlights the need to have clear responsibility, proper customer communication and to acquire medical confirmations from authorized professionals to ensure compliance and minimize responsibility.
The meeting concludes with practical tips on the utilization of resources such as the Fullscript for the recommendations of supplements and the importance of non -drafting legal documents independently, but seeking professional legal support to maintain the integrity of the practical coaching.
