In minnesota can a person give out nutrition/fitness advice as a type of consultant if he/she does not posess a certification in Nutrition or personal trainer. I am contemplating become a diet/exercise consultant and I am taking some courses, but these will not get me certified. I am merely wondering lawfully if this can be done without the certifications. I know in most says you do not require the certifications.

It seems like a case of books smarts (Reading up on all the latest diets, speaking with personal trainers, taking classes on nutrition etc) vs street smarts (Learning from experience, knowing tips the book cannot instruct you, knowing what works and what merely sounds good on paper)
Do you think out of shape people can give good fitness advice? and Why?
examples to ponder on: An overweight doctor? or nutritionist? your crazy neighbor who’s tried each diet known to man?
