RE: Authorities In Florida Threaten Health Blogger With Jail Time And Fines

in #health7 years ago

Sorry, but I happen to agree that perhaps a person should absolutely NOT be giving diet advice without the appropriate licenses, even if they are in good shape and have been doing it for a long time...

I am a certified personal trainer with a B.S. in exercise science, and my wife is a Doctor of Pharmacy. We run a health and wellness business (https://WebHealthClub.com) We are still not allowed to "give diet advice" or build a diet plan for our clients. We had to recruit a "Registered Dietician" onto our team to be in compliance with the law... no big deal.

Why not simply find and partner with a Registered Dietician in Florida to save the hassle like we did?

Also, there is very, VERY good reason why you shouldn't be giving out diet advice with a proper license that very few people seem to take into consideration until something bad happens....

Example:
Telling a person to eat more spinach, which is LOADED with vitamin K, who is using a prescription drug/pharmaceutical called COUMADIN/WARFARIN could be potentially very dangerous and even fatal due to the interaction of the drug with the high levels of vitamin K found in the spinach.

Does anyone see my point? There are plenty more examples I could share that I'm sure this person in Florida doesn't want to get caught up in without proper licensure and/or insurance... you'd lose everything, and could possibly hurt someone else in the process. Not cool.
