Can doctors or therapists coach online—legally? 👇 In this episode I break down the myths, the risks, and the 5 rules licensed medical and health professionals can follow to build a coaching business without stepping outside your scope. You’ll learn: – Coaching vs. clinical care: what you can coach on and what to avoid (no diagnosing, no treating conditions). – Titles & jurisdiction: when you can use “MD / LCSW / ND / DC” and when to use “coach/consultant,” especially across state lines. – Telehealth vs. coaching (and why they’re not the same). – Why insurance billing doesn’t apply to coaching—and how to build a cash-pay program client"s value. – The role of a clear client agreement (primary caregiver disclaimer, scope, outcomes, accountability). This is not legal advice—always consult your board/counsel.  But after helping thousands of licensed pros build online programs, these principles will help you avoid common licensing pitfalls and launch with confidence. NEXT:  If you’re serious about scaling your health coaching without the grind or guesswork, then watch the Million Dollar Health Coaching Roadmap on our Youtube → https://youtu.be/xwSu1f1za6Q It’s the full plan to grow from $0 to $1M+ as a health expert or coach.
