Scope of Practice
Sequoia Growth LLC provides behavioral nutrition coaching. It is important that anyone considering working with Lindsey understands what that means and what it does not mean.
1. WHAT NUTRITION COACHING IS.
Nutrition coaching is a collaborative process focused on building sustainable habits around food, behavior, and lifestyle. At Sequoia, that process is structured around The Sequoia 10, a ten-stage behavioral progression designed to help clients build a foundation that lasts.
​
Coaching includes goal-setting, habit development, accountability, education around general nutrition principles, and ongoing support throughout the program.
2. WHAT NUTRITION COACHING IS NOT.
Lindsey Young is not a Registered Dietitian, licensed therapist, psychologist, or medical professional. Nutrition coaching is not medical advice, medical treatment, or a substitute for care from a licensed healthcare provider.
​
Coaching at Sequoia Growth does not include the diagnosis or treatment of any physical or mental health condition, the creation of clinical meal plans for the management of a medical condition, eating disorder treatment or therapy, or recommendations that replace the guidance of your doctor, dietitian, or mental health provider.
​
If you are managing a medical condition, recovering from an eating disorder, working with a licensed healthcare team, please consult your provider before beginning any coaching program.
3. WHO THIS PROGRAM IS AND IS NOT DESIGNED FOR.
Sequoia Growth is designed for generally healthy adults who are looking to build sustainable nutrition habits and break the cycle of starting over.
​
This program is not designed for individuals who are currently under active medical supervision for a nutrition-related condition, individuals in active recovery from an eating disorder, or individuals seeking clinical dietary intervention.
​
If you are unsure whether coaching is appropriate for your situation, reach out before enrolling.
4. A NOTE ON REFERRALS.
If something comes up during our work together that falls outside the scope of nutrition coaching, you will be told directly. Lindsey will always refer clients to the appropriate professional rather than attempt to address needs that belong in a clinical setting.
5. QUESTIONS
If you have questions about scope of practice or whether Sequoia Growth is the right fit for your situation, reach out at contact@sequoiagrowth.co. Honest conversations happen before contracts are signed.
