Welcome back to the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today we have a great episode—as we always do—with Cynthia Thurlow. We’re going to dive into her fascinating journey and I’ll just give you a few highlights here before the episode.

So, Cynthia started out as a western-trained nurse practitioner—she grew up in the classic medical setting. But she later realized that she wanted to go do her own thing, and ended up starting her own functional nutrition practice. She now works with clients all around the world and supports women with various hormone issues.

The really cool thing about Cynthia is that she’s been able to bridge that gap between traditional western medicine and the holistic side of things. There's tons of great stuff in this episode—we’re going to talk all about what I mentioned above as well as outsourcing, the entrepreneurial spirit, and transitioning from a 9-5 job to owning your own business. And I’ll even bring my love of flying into the mix. 

In this episode, Cynthia and I discuss: 

• How Cynthia incorporates both the western and holistic sides of medicine into her practice. 
• The entrepreneurial spirit—is it in your DNA, or not?  
• The long climb to the top. 
• Being an introverted entrepreneur. 
• What a real emergency is. 
• Losing the “security” of a 9-5 job.
