Why I’m Hosting Free Training for Physicians: Reclaiming the Role of Health Expert in the Age of Influencers
I didn’t go to medical school to sit on the sidelines while TikTok influencers hand out nutrition advice.
I trained for over a decade, completed a neonatology fellowship, became board-certified in obesity medicine, and spent the last eight years coaching thousands of physicians on metabolic health, nutrition, and strength—and I still found myself wondering:
Why are we—the most educated, experienced health professionals—not leading the conversation about weight loss, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine?
Because somewhere along the way, we were told:
“You’re not a dietitian.”
“Exercise isn’t in your scope.”
“Just refer them out.”
“You only need 4 hours of nutrition education.”
And now? Patients are turning to influencers for health guidance. Not because they know more than us—but because they’re speaking up.
So I decided to change that.
And this upcoming free webinar on July 8th at 8PM ET is one way I’m doing it.
🧠 This Training Was Born Out of Frustration—And Hope
In my coaching work with physicians, I hear the same things over and over:
“I’m the one prescribing GLP-1 meds… but I don’t know how to help my patients preserve muscle.”
“My patient just asked if 80g of protein is enough. I have no idea how to answer.”
“I want to support nutrition and strength, but I don’t want to say the wrong thing.”
“It feels like patients trust influencers more than me—and it’s infuriating.”
Let’s change that.
🎓 Why Physicians Need to Take Back the Mic
This isn’t about competing with wellness influencers.
It’s about reclaiming our rightful place as trusted health leaders—who combine clinical science, lived experience, and compassion in ways the internet never could.
We are the ones who:
Understand the nuance of metabolic disease
Know when (and when not) to prescribe GLP-1 medications
Can explain InBody scan results with precision
Appreciate the emotional, behavioral, and physical complexities of obesity
See patients in their entirety—not just their BMI
But none of that matters if we aren’t sharing what we know.
Knowledge is only power if we speak it aloud.
🧬 What I’ll Teach on July 8th—In Simple, Real-Life Language
This free session is for physicians who want to counsel on weight loss, nutrition, and strength with more clarity and confidence—without adding hours to their day.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
✅ InBody Interpretation:
How I use lean mass and visceral fat trends to guide conversations on fat loss goals—with or without meds.
✅ Protein Targets & Nutrition Audits:
The most effective way to teach protein and food timing—especially to GLP-1 patients or those with metabolic inflexibility.
✅ Minimum Effective Dose for Strength:
What actually works for preserving muscle mass during weight loss—and how to help patients actually do it.
✅ Prescribing Weight Loss Meds in Normal BMI Cases:
What the science says, what the boards allow, and how to make the case ethically and confidently.
✅ Motivational Interviewing That Connects:
How to use empathy-driven language that actually gets through and inspires change—especially around food and weight.
💪 This Is How We Reclaim Our Power
We don’t need a nutrition degree.
We don’t need perfect six-packs or hours in the gym.
We don’t need to know every macro breakdown ever written.
What we need is:
A working knowledge of evidence-based nutrition
The ability to communicate with confidence and compassion
A structure to help patients build metabolic strength—without burnout
And a reminder that we are allowed to lead this conversation
In fact, we’re needed to.
Join Me—And Let’s Stop Sitting Quietly on the Sidelines
I’m inviting you to this free session on Monday, July 8th @ 8PM ET, because you deserve this information. So do your patients. And frankly, so does our profession.
Even if you can’t attend live, register anyway and I’ll send you the replay.
