50 year old guy and athlete with excellent knowledge of food and nutrition to help others needing nutrition advice

Hi there everyone,
I have been walking the walk in health and fitness for most of my life, but never pursued this as a job. Despite being a licensed attorney and working for many years in the financial industry, my true interests have always been food, nutrition, working out, playing sports, general exercise, and helping people around me with food and exercise questions. Everyone I know at work and in life asks me my advice on what to eat and how to workout. Although I've never pursued this field officially and got any sort of license in this field, I'm in the process of possibly becoming a certified health coach. In addition, I recently graduated from a program at Harvard Medical School in patient safety, quality and informatics (graduated 2017 Certificate program). Ideally, however, having worked in the medical innovation field, I'd really like to work with a medical practice acting as a liaison between you and your doctor, helping you track your improvements over time during the period when you're not seeing your doctor. In an ideal world, people should be altering their food and exercise in order to improve their biomarkers, those blood tests you get at the doctor once a year! Since those blood tests are really the true measure of health, or objective measures, we need to look at those results over time, in addition to your outward appearance (which also counts!)

In sum, I'd love to help people with their diet and exercise, particularly those in the over 40 age group where it gets harder and harder to stay in shape (you know what I'm talking about!). I'm happy to stay I'm in great shape and even started playing ice hockey at 48 (and I'm pretty good!). I was a personal trainer while in law school but have not done that in a while. I'm also a licensed attorney but if you want legal advice we'd have to discuss that separately, since it's much harder, there are more rules, and will be more expensive!
