Elena G. Health Program DirectorFrequently Asked Questions
Are these VAs registered dietitians or nutritionists?
No, our Virtual Assistants operate in an administrative and support capacity. They are not licensed dietitians and cannot diagnose, prescribe, or provide medical advice. You (the professional) provide the nutritional strategy and parameters, and the VA executes the formatting, data entry, and research.
How do they know which recipes to pick for my clients?
During onboarding, your Project Manager will help establish standard operating procedures (SOPs). You will define parameters (e.g., "Client A needs 1800 calories, high protein, dairy-free"). The VA will then use your approved software (like EatLove or That Clean Life) to source options that fit those exact parameters for your final approval.
What practice management software are they familiar with?
Our talent pool is experienced with major health coaching ecosystems, including Practice Better, SimplePractice, Trainerize, TrueCoach, and standard design tools like Canva Pro.
What happens if my assigned VA is out sick?
Because Sagedoer is a fully managed service, your Dedicated Project Manager instantly reassigns your tasks to a fully-briefed internal backup VA. Your client meal plans will be drafted and delivered without missing a deadline.
