This week's episode is a must-listen if you have patients who are using bioidentical hormones. 🧬

You know all about bioidentical hormones, right? They’re safe, effective and help with hormonal imbalances, such as hot flashes, mood swings, and decreased libido. 😰💦😡💤

But they have a daaaaark side that no one is talking about. They actually pose a risk not only to the person taking them but also to everyone around them. 😱

Now, I know you always put your patients' well-being first. But once you listen to this week’s podcast episode, you’ll be thinking twice about recommending bioidentical hormones ever again.

This isn’t just a wild hair or conspiracy theory. I’ve worked with sooooo many patients who've been negatively impacted by this risky hormone treatment. And it’s no joke.

Trust me, it's something you probably haven’t even considered! 👀

Just to help you wrap your head around the shocking truth about bioidentical hormones, I have two resources that will bring more clarity and allow you to see firsthand how they impacted one of my patients. So, be sure to listen all the way to the end! 🎧

Are you ready to uncover the most surprising risk associated with using bioidentical hormones? Hit play now to listen! I promise you won't regret it! 😎

Are you wondering why your patients don’t come back and your bank account is heading in the wrong direction? It could be due to a lack of follow-up! 😬

We’ve alllll been there. Patient follow-up is something that often gets overlooked, especially when it comes to missed, rescheduled or canceled appointments.

Patients want to feel seen, heard, and valued, especially after they’ve spent their hard-earned money to work with you. 

If you don’t have a clear process for following up with every single patient, you could be losing them to another practice AND… leaving money on the table.

But no more! Our rockstar Administrative Support Coordinator, Elaine Cole, is joining me to talk about how to improve your follow-up process and create a more patient-centered practice. 🎸🌟

Elaine is the genius behind our customer support team here at Ronda Nelson & Co, and she's here to share practical tips and strategies to help you create a killer follow-up system that leads to a more patient-centered practice. 👏

She’s sharing her very specific "Follow-Up Formula" that ensures no one falls through the cracks and every single patient feels seen, heard, and valued. 

Aaaaand….. She has two FREE resources that will help you create your very own follow-up process. 💪💪

We’re not leaving ANY patients behind! Tune in, and let's get started!

Branding a strong brand is all about managing the perception of your practice in the eyes of your target audience. 📣📣

Yes, you need to be a great clinician and provide exceptional results for your patients, but to really build a recognizable brand, you’ll need more than just a visually appealing logo or a snappy tagline. 💢

Branding is the process of creating and managing the perception of your business in the minds of your target audience.

Reputation, on the other hand, is how people talk about your business. It’s influenced by factors such as the quality of your service and overall business practices.

So how do you build a great brand - and an amazing reputation? 

That’s exactly what I’m talking about on this episode of the Clinical Entrepreneur!

We’ll cover the importance of managing how people speak about your business but I’ll also talk about 10 things that will break your brand AND 10 ways you can BUILD your brand!

You ready? 💜

Listen in for all the great nuggets on business growth, reputation and branding (without worrying about your logo…) on today’s show. I’ve got you, friend!

Boy oh boy, do I have an episode for you!

I was a little nervous to record this one, and I may even lose some followers over it. But that’s OKAY. I’ve always been one to share my honest opinions & tell it how it is. And if you disagree with me, that’s perfectly okay. There’s always room for differing opinions in this community!  🙌

But, here’s the deal…

The functional medicine community needs a wake-up call. Too many practitioners are falling into the trap of thinking about it like western medicine, over-prescribing, and losing trust in the human body’s ability to heal without needing expensive interventions. 

There’s a ton to unpack here, but these are the tough conversations that allow us to hold one another accountable & grow as clinicians. 

And before I scare you off…I’m not saying you should abandon Functional Medicine altogether….  I’m merely offering some food for thought that might help us get refocused and move back toward our roots as a wellness community where the western medical model is secondary. Just sayin….

So, if you’re up for a unique conversation, press “play” and, let’s get to it!. 🔥

We’d love it if you left an honest review. They go a long way in helping us build awareness so that we can support even more clinicians (just like you!) in building profitable practices. 

Today on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, we’re talking all about difficult patients! You know the ones…maybe they’re driving you nuts by sending long emails or blowing up your phone with multiple text messages after you’ve drawn a clear boundary. Or maybe there’s something about their personality that is just driving you nuts - seriously…it happens to all of us. 

As heart-based practitioners, we often feel like we should make ourselves available to anyone and everyone. But the truth is, by letting certain people go, you create more space for the people who are truly meant for YOU. 

No matter what the cause, often the most loving thing you can do is to send them on their merry way. Because continuing forward when there’s tension in the relationship isn’t serving either one of you, and will undoubtedly drain your energy. 

Butttt, turning people away is *not* easy, which is why we’re diving into some warning signs to watch for, and simple strategies to guide difficult (but necessary) conversations. Plus, how to screen for better-fit patients from the very beginning. 

It’s time to level up your practice, conserve your energy & make space for your perfect-fit patients. 

We’ve got this Friend! 💪

We’d love it if you left an honest review. They go a long way in helping us build awareness so that we can support even more clinicians (just like you!) in building profitable practices. 

Today, I’m busting one of the biggest myths there is around content & social media.

It's the idea that you need to create *BRAND NEW* content over, and over, and over, and over again.

You don’t need to spend tons of time coming up with new ideas to keep your social media feed fresh, only to have it slip away into social oblivion just a few days (or even hours) later. 🙅‍♀️🎪

And that doesn’t even count the time it would take writing weekly emails or an SEO-rich blog once in a while!

That’s why I’m sharing my #1 best-kept secret when it comes to staying visible and looking like you’re the practitioner who shows up everywhere online → how to repurpose a single piece of content and turn it into GOLD.

Content repurposing is the art of taking *one* piece of content and squeezing out every last drop of info in order to produce a ton of share-worthy content that will help grow your business.

And today, I’m giving you 10+ ways to put this new strategy into action. I’ll walk you through exactly how to create your first piece of content from scratch, and then loads of creative ways to repurpose it.

So, press “play”, and let’s get to it!

Ahh…social media 📲

It’s not usually a favorite topic among health practitioners, because quite frankly it can be the last thing on a very long list of “to-do’s” most days. And if I’m being honest, I find myself grumbling about it sometimes too. 💁‍♀️

BUT it’s also helped me MASSIVELY grow my practice and connect with people just like you!

So, what’s the trick to making social media work for you as a busy practitioner? 

Simple → let your hair down, drop the “professional act” & start sharing about your life!

People want to know about YOU. They want to know what car you drive, what your kitchen looks like, and what kind of laundry soap you use (yes, it’s true, show them your non-toxic laundry soap!). 

Buttt there are some rules of engagement about just *how* personal you should get (at least in my opinion). So press “play” to hear all my juicy thoughts, including: 

• *How much* of your personal life to share
• Which topics to avoid at all costs 
• Fun and easy ways to create “teachable moments” 
• How to bring people behind-the-scenes using “stories”
• What to do if you think your life is “too boring for social media” 

So, whatcha waiting for? 

Press “play” and let’s GO.

Hey Friend! 

Today we’re diving into one of my all-time favorite topics → how to leverage the power of a niche to grow a thriving practice. 💃

Our guest, Ashley Houchin, is the owner of Arukah Wellness and has been a Certified Massage Therapist since 2013. But during the COVID pandemic, she decided to make a bold, controversial business decision and set some boundaries about who she was willing to see.🔥 

Despite a huge amount of fear and societal pressure, Ashley listened to her heart and stayed true to what was important to her. And it turned out to be better than she could have ever expected!

Not only is she a skilled massage therapist… she’s also a:

• Certified Lymphedema Therapist
• Placenta Encapsulation Specialist
• Gillespie Approach Infant Practitioner, and
• Birth Doula

That’s a whole lotta things, right??

But here’s the best part… she’s wrapped all these amazing talents & skills into a highly-profitable wellness niche that has created buzz in her community + led to a booked-out wellness practice. 💸 🔥

Ashely went from charging $45/hr to having a waitlist that stretches for months, and a team of wellness practitioners with a shared mission. A large part of her success can be attributed to pushing past her fear, making a bold (controversial) move during the COVID pandemic & creating a name for herself. 

And I’m telling you friend…it all has to do with niching down. 

This episode is for you if: 

🌱 You want to attract “your people”. 

🌱 You want to stand out from other health practitioners. 

🌱 You want to make marketing easier. 

🌱 You’re ready to stop playing small.

🌱 You’re feeling scared to niche down.

☕️ So, grab your favorite warm beverage & get inspired to make your own bold moves. And be sure you listen to the end for a special surprise about Ashley. ✨

Hey Friend!

As promised, I have Blaine Oelkers back this week on the Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast to talk about what we had originally planned to discuss → how to declutter your entire life.  🙌

And you guys… this topic is SO good! Because who doesn’t feel like they need a little decluttering magic in their life?! 🏠

Buttt, this episode is about so much more than your “stuff” …it’s about the impact that unnecessary things have on your ability to show up as your best self – in your business, in your relationships, in your spiritual life…all of it! 

In this episode, Blaine talks about how to declutter your life in four important ways: 

1. How to Declutter Your Environment 🏠
2. How to Declutter Your Mental Space 🧠
3. How to Declutter Your Physical Body 💪
4. How to Declutter Your Digital Space 📲

He teaches us that the mess IS the stress, reminding us that we almost always feel lighter, calmer & richer when we take the time to spruce things up. 

And I can speak from personal experience here…. I just decluttered my entire closet and let me tell you…it completely transformed the energy in my bedroom. ✨

Come get inspired to take action & learn: 

✨ How clutter is actually a form of indecision 

✨ How to handle resistance to decluttering

✨ How to declutter “on-the-go” 

✨ How to remove mental trash 

✨ Why you need a “mind shower” routine

And my absolute favorite takeaway → how to “Yeah, BUT” yourself. You’ll have to press play to get the full explanation on this one and trust me on this…it’s a game changer. 🔥

So, what are you waiting for?! 

Press play, get motivated + take action. 🚀

Hey Friend! 

Whether you’re listening to this podcast in early 2023, or the year’s half over, you’ll want to mark this episode as one of your fav’s. Yea, the topic sounds a bit *beige* but trust me - this is one that will have significant impact on you and your patients! (in fact, you might even want to share it with them, it’s that good!)

On today’s Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I’m joined by Blaine Oelkers, a man dedicated to helping people get results, in life + in business.  

In fact, his official title is Chief Results Officer (CRO). Pretty sure that’s the first + only time you’ll come across that title!

What I love about today’s episode is that Blaine teaches us how to leverage the habits we already have (like that morning cuppa joe) to create powerful shifts in our lives. It’s about building momentum & taking the easy route, but only because the easy route tends to produce better results. 🙌

It really got my wheels turning! 🧠

I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just say “habit linking” + “urge surfing” have the potential to shift your entire life, and your wellness practice this year. In fact, we even chat about how to apply these two life hacks to help patients get better results. 🔥

Are you ready to create some sticky habits & grow your wellness practice??

Let’s go!
