Should crossfit trainers be allowed to give personalized nutrition guidance?

Jul 7, 2020

Dear Listener, 

In today’s episode I decided to continue on a rant I started on Instagram in regards to a new bill that was signed into law in the state of Florida by Governor De Santis that directly impacts registered dietitians. 

Last week (June 30th, 2020), CrossFit HQ published an article on their website recognizing a “victory” in the state of florida as now “CrossFit Trainers” will be able to provide nutrition advice. I would consider this far from a victory, but a major liability and I wanted to dive deep into this topic in today’s episode

 

What I covered today 

 

  • My Academic background
  • What would happen if this law would apply to other health professionals like chiropractors and physical therapists
  • Why did CrossFit take this law to heart? 
  • My views on nutritionists and non-RD practitioners who are providing personalized nutrition support
  • Popular Opinion on RDs and why not all RDs are great coaches, just like not all great coaches are RDs 
  • How to become an informed consumer and learn to choose smartly who you work with?
