US state scope-of-practice limits for coaches

Coach education only — not legal advice. Title protection and nutrition practice acts vary by state. Prescribing stays with licensed clinicians.

Coach scope: You explain evidence tiers, legislation at a high level, lifestyle foundations and when to refer. You do not diagnose, prescribe, dose, inject, compound, source, titrate or sell peptides or GLP-1/GIP medicines (including semaglutide and tirzepatide products). Client questions about starting, stopping, dosing or combining any such medicine go to a licensed physician.
