Health coaches are always getting asked about supplements. And while we’re not here to diagnose or prescribe, there are plenty of occasions when you might help a client find a reputable brand of fish oil, or choose a product when their doctor simply says, “Take vitamin D.”
But if you’re like me, your health coach certification didn’t give you much education around supplements.
And my clients had no clue what to look for.
Sometimes I’ve been approached to sell certain brands of supplements, but I never wanted to promote a particular brand or join a multi-level marketing team. Even though the extra income might be nice, would clients trust me if I were pushing a certain product all the time? I thought…meh.
And that’s where Fullscript comes in. (In Canada? Use this link instead.)
When I first heard about it, I’d been practicing as a health coach for a good 7 or 8 years. I’d always had trouble knowing which supplement brands were reputable. Most of my clients ordered vitamins on Amazon – and frankly, so did I!
With Fullscript, I could provide my clients with an array of good choices and feel confident that everything on the platform had been vetted for quality. They even have eays-to-use filters to help practitioners find products that fit certain dietary restrictions. Best of all, I could earn up to 35% of every sale. (Hello, awesome.)
Now, I understand if you’re skeptical. So was I.
You might be wondering…
“Is this really open to health coaches? Or do I have to have a medical license?”
Fullscript is definitely available for certified health coaches from most coaching programs. If you are still in school, you’ll have to wait until you have your certification to open an account.
“What does it cost to join?”
Fullscript is completely free to join, free to use, and completely commitment-free. Once you’ve created your online dispensary, you can use it as little or as much as you like.
“What kind of brands do they offer?”
They offer 350+ top quality brands. I’ve been very pleased – almost everything I’ve ever searched for is there. It’s been a good way to find new and interesting products as well: vitamins, herbs, teas, collagen powder, etc etc.
“Is everything overpriced?”
Actually, Fullscript usually has the LOWEST price available. Combine that with your discount and clients will have every reason to purchase through your Fullscript dispensary.
“Yeah, but it’s easier to shop through Amazon.”
Maybe…but Fullscript is pretty darn easy too. And because they specialize in supplements, they are committed to following manufacturers’ directions for shipping and storage – ensuring quality and efficacy in all the products they sell. (This is NOT the case with huge retailers who sell a million other products.)
How much can I really earn?
Practitioners get a 35% discount that can be passed along entirely to our clients, or taken as a commission. You can also split it up…say, a 15% discount for your clients and a 20% commission for you.
The best part is that you’ll continue to earn over the LIFETIME of a client.
Let’s say your client spends $200/year through Fullscript. That’s $70 for you. Multiply this by 10 clients? $700. Not bad. But if you add 10 new clients every year for 5 years, that turns into $3500/year…simply for helping people find what they are already looking for.
Is Fullscript available worldwide?
Fullscript is available for practitioners in the US and Canada.

Important Features include…
Refill Reminders/Autoship
Fullscript has a refill reminder feature which creates recurring income and helps keep clients on track. When clients place their first order, Fullscript will automatically send them reminders to order again when they should be running low on their products.
And with autoship, Fullscript will automatically send the product at the chosen cadence.
Integrations
You can use Fullscript alone, but I love how it integrates with Practice Better for a seamless client experience.
Advanced Reporting Dashboards & Tax Forms
With Fullscript you’ll get full reporting so you can monitor your growth on the platform and see expected payouts, as well as other statistics. This is also an easy place to grab tax forms as needed.
Did I mention that it’s 100% free to create an account?
Here’s what I recommend:

From there, one of Fullscript’s onboarding agents will be in touch to help you complete your dispensary set up and give you a thorough walkthrough of the platform and it’s features.
Place a first order to try it out.
If you love it, great! Share with your clients and friends to start earning. If not, no worries. There are no commitments or minimums.
In full transparency, I do not get anything when you place an order from Fullscript (or when your clients place an order.) This is no pyramid scheme. I’m telling you about Fullscript because in my 13 years as a practicing health coach it was one of my very favorite tools. I do receive a fee when you create your account, but I’d be telling you about it anyway because I think you’ll absolutely love it.
This guide will help you avoid Shiny Object Syndrome and get your business off the ground without wasting time or money. It’s the stuff you wish they’d taught you in health coaching school!
