Okay, so my situation is that I have several people that want me to coach them on their diet in my area. It is not worth paying out a 600 dollar longtime investment in one of the higher certifications in nutrition, however. I'm not saying that I am Dr. Mauro D. Pasquale or anything, but I am more than competent and capable of coaching clients to their goals in this field.

The only reason I want a certification is so that I can do this legally and not lose a lawsuit because Joe Blow chokes on food or gets in a car wreck and decides to blame it on the diet and sue me. Would a health coach/ nutrition certification from expert rating cover this?

Also, besides liability waivers, what other steps should I take to cover my @$$?

thanks.

If you do it you may want to do it under an LLC

So doing so as an independent coach would be recipe for disaster?

I would think so. Atleast under an LLC, if someone does sue you. You are protected somewhat

Like any independent trainer just make sure you get insurance
