How to Know If You're Not Ready for a Coach: Our Non-Ideal Clients

Alongside Tactic Nutrition Coach Lynsey Martin, Alex and Meredith get open and honest about their non-ideal clients. While many of the people who they work with at Tactic Nutrition are phenomenal, Nutrition and Fitness coaching involves lots of lifestyle choices and behavior habits that can be really emotionally sensitive for people.
