Supplements absolutely have a time and place- but they need to be used as that, supplementing a strong foundation.

In this episode, Sarah and Mere discuss the principles of functional health coaching, and the importance of an approach that considers the whole person rather than just symptoms.

They unpack common pitfalls of misguided advice in the fitness and health space, the real role of supplements, and why educating clients matters more than handing out protocols. You'll also hear insights on the coach-client relationship and how to adapt coaching to the individual.
