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 build profitable practices - just like you!

Several weeks ago, I had an “I-never-want-to-have-that-happen-again” experience with a patient that left me with a serious dose of Imposter Syndrome. 🥺

It happens to all of us, right? A patient disagrees with you and starts to argue and push back, tossing out facts, figures, what they heard on the news, and why they think you’re absolutely wrong. It can leave you feeling a little (or a lot) less confident than you were before.

But here’s the truth.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent,” and she’s absolutely right! By allowing someone to steal your confidence and knock you off your game, everyone loses - even your patients.

Listen in to hear how I pulled myself out of the confidence ditch in just a few days and got myself back on track. And I’ll share a secret trick that will help you hold on to your confidence no matter what’s happening around you!  

Because people shouldn’t live rent-free in your head. It’s time to board up the doors and keep that from happening ever again! 🤞

• (3:58) Just like happy is a choice, confidence is a choice.
• (5:11) Mistakes are merely information.
• (6:40) Don’t allow others to rain on your parade.
• (8:47) What you can do, today!

By popular request, I’m bringing back a clinical topic! 🌟

This week I’m giving out my BEST tips on how to support and connect with your patients with blood sugar dysregulation.

When you take a walk through a mall or look down the sidewalks of a crowded street, it becomes very obvious that Americans have a huuuuugeee blood sugar issue going on. Some estimates show 30-35% of people have difficulty maintaining normal glucose levels. And it's no wonder, given the Standard American Diet. 🍭

When we chat with patients about getting their blood sugar under control, their panic is palpable: “Will I have to eat ‘healthy food’ all the time?”, “Can I still have bread once in a while?”, “Do I have to give up all the foods I love?”

Well, I have a few pieces of advice on how to handle these questions and get your patients fully on board with their blood sugar issues. Cuz we definitely don’t want to overwhelm them with 3,572 different rules about their food. 📕

I’ll show you how to communicate with them in a way that leaves them feeling in control, helps you get what you want, and ends up being a win-win for everyone.

So, tune in today to hear how I work with blood sugar patients, and let’s start building stronger connections and providing stellar support!

• (10:06) Their #1 fear.
• (15:33) Get this one symptom under control first.
• (23:03) Why LESS is often MORE with blood sugar patients.
• (25:07) A special surprise for my podcast listeners. ☺️

Our brains are wired to listen to stories. And as the story is being told, we instinctively look for similarities, or ways we ‘fit’ into the story. And today’s guest, Kimberly Potter, has mastered the art of using stories to communicate what she does in a way that leaves people excited and ready to work with her. 💫

A registered nurse since 1989, Kimberly left conventional healthcare and opened a private practice, Rapha Health & Wellness, in 2013. But after leaving her Minnesota practice and moving to the ☀️ sunshine state ☀️, she had to start over. But it didn’t take her long to find her groove, hire some help, and start serving her ideal patients once again. 🛄

• (2:25) Kimberly’s abrupt introduction to functional medicine.
• (5:49) The duality behind what we do and western medicine.
• (7:58) How the word got out about Kimberly’s practice.
• (14:47) Her top tips for starting over.

Last week we touched on the first few things you need to do before creating (or rebooting) your wellness practice. 🤪

Today, we’re rounding out the last of the 5 steps about how you can easily spread the word about your newest passion and why getting your paperwork together is the absolute laaaaaast part of the whole process. 🔙

I’m also highlighting a huge pitfall that almost every new practice owner experiences. Nine times out of ten, practitioners think this ONE MARKETING STRATEGY can take them to the big leagues, but spoiler alert - it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. 🍳

I’ve also got a few free resources to make your new patient paperwork a little better so use them to your heart’s desire! Just don’t forget one thing – be sure to run one of them by your lawyer (if you know, you know)!! 😉

• (4:15) You don’t have to be good at everything!
• (5:05) Get clear on the transformation you will provide.
• (7:55) Using stories to attract the right people.
• (13:23) Don’t use this as an excuse to not get started.

Have you ever started a conversation with someone that ended up with as many twists and turns as the yellow brick road? We just went from one thing to the next…to the next… and ended up with the best stuff for last! 🎯

And as it turns out, my guest, Jason Wasser, was a student in one of my Functional Blood Chemistry seminars MANY years ago and here we are…. chatting about life, business, mindset 🧠 and being able to charge what you're worth. All in a day’s work for a healthcare practitioner, right?

As a therapist and coach, Jason has built a multi-disciplinary practice that hasn’t been without plenty of challenges and opportunities to learn what works and what doesn’t, which is equally important in the life of an entrepreneur. 💼

So, if you’ve got a mental block around bumping up your pricing or you get sweaty palms when you think about handing over your Colonel Sanders secret sauce recipe to a newly-hired associate, this episode is seriously for you. 🍗📜

• (3:46) How entrepreneurship was a HUGE wake-up call.
• (5:12) Your “unfinished business” can show up later… with a vengeance.
• (11:20) Jason’s best recommendation for finding your next associate.
• (25:07) Plant your flag in the ground and serve the patients who value what you do.
• (40:37) When you charge what you’re worth, people will come.

We’ve already chatted about two other ways you can create a practice that keeps patients coming back and today, I’m going to wrap up this pony show 🐎 with a personal touch.

One of the most important aspects of having a thriving practice is creating meaningful connections with your patients. One of the BEST ways to do that is by celebrating or remembering the memorable moments in their lives. 📸 💭

Your patients will feel SO special when they get a card from you congratulating them on a recent professional success 🏆, celebrating their birthday 🤩 or sending flowers upon the loss of a precious family pet. 🐾

I’m willing to bet money that if you make your patients feel like they truly belong in your practice, you’ll create your own fan base, and they’ll tell everyone they know how incredibly thoughtful and considerate you are. That’s the best kind of marketing there is! ✨

So, tune in today to hear all the ways you can take note of and celebrate the memorable moments in your patients’ lives. 🥂

• (2:23) Add this one thing to your intake form and watch your patients LIGHT up!
• (4:17) Take good notes and listen for memorable moments
• (6:30) One of the biggest reasons my practice exploded early on
• (7:16) Create a “We See You” budget (you’ll have to listen to find out what it is!)

Last week we covered how you can create a video library and then turn it into a low-cost membership for your patients (which is a SURE way to wow your patients) whether they’re new to you or not.

Another foolproof way to get patients to keep coming back is by providing useful, valuable resources for them that are so great, they want to share with their friends, post online or give to a neighbor. 🖥📬 And that’s exactly what we’ll be talking about today!

I’ll give you three super-easy ideas you use to create a memorable resource for your patients. But wait…. if you scroll down, you’ll see that I even created the first one for you! 😃

Creating a ‘sticky’ practice isn’t rocket science 🚀 but it does take a little effort on your part to keep clients engaged, interested and wondering what’s the next thing up your sleeve. 🧥

You don’t have to do them all at once but pick your favorite and just get started! 🤩

• (5:38) The first resource I ever designed at my brick-and-mortar that made my patients go WILD.
• (8:22) How to curate a reading list for your patients (or use our template and make it your own 😉).
• (13:35) Give your clients some homework with a few of these ideas!
• (16:50) Get creative with how you can also teach your patients at the same time!

What if I told you that you had an incredibly valuable and untapped resource right at your fingertips? One that you’ve already paid for but probably aren’t using to its full capacity? 😳

As a well-qualified health practitioner, you have REAL solutions for the problems people are facing. So, today we’re going to unpack how to use all that knowledge to help you create a ‘sticky’ practice.

One where your patients are ‘in for the long haul’ and refer you to everyone they know. 💬

This episode dives deep into turning your info into recurring revenue AND building patient loyalty by creating a video library that contains valuable information! 🎥📚
