Fitness Trainers: Is it Legal To Call Yourself a Nutritionist?

By 2 Comments

Is it illegal for personal trainers to discuss nutrition with clients? In this episode, I interview Jonathan Posey, from Council of Holistic Health Educators a non-profit advocacy organization made up of holistic health schools and organizations, practitioners, and supporters.  Jonathan discusses his efforts to try to stop state laws which would prohibit fitness and wellness professionals from discussing nutrition with clients. Can you call yourself a nutritionist? What titles are off-limits and how you can protect yourself? This is episode 58 of Joe Cannon Health podcast.
