The Healthpreneur Show with Yuri Elkaim

What’s up, Healthpreneurs! Welcome to another incredible episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast with yet another amazing and inspiring guest. Today we’re talking with Rachael Pontillo, an entrepreneur who helps women reclaim their skin, sense of Self, and world so they can love who they are and live their lives.  

This is no small feat, but Rachael is making it happen with her two thriving businesses. One is a private skin health coaching practice, and the other is the Nutritional Aesthetics Alliance, which works with skincare professionals and aestheticians. By working with both the consumer and the professional, she’s making an impact by supporting both sides in their quest for skin health.  

Rachael became an entrepreneur by need. No local businesses understood or followed her integrative approach for holistic aesthetics, and she prioritized a lifestyle that allowed her to spend time with her family. Tune in to hear how Rachael created an online business around her lifestyle, what she’s learned along the way, and why knowing her “WHY” changed it all.  

In this episode, Rachael and I discuss: 

• Bringing something brand new to the market vs. finding a market that’s “warm.” 
• Building a business around your lifestyle and methodologies.  
• A product launch gone wrong and what she learned from it.  

• Human connection and its value in a digital world.  
• Knowing your “WHY” and building your avatar.  
• Why neglecting your numbers will damage your business more than you know.  

3:00 – 9:00 - Rachael’s businesses and journey to success 

9:00 – 14:30 - Why Rachael created an online business and the results she saw 

14:30 – 20:30 - Lessons learned: Know marketing, R&D, and audience before a product launch 

20:30 – 26:30 - Looking at your “why” and creating your avatar 

26:30 – 30:00 - Knowing your numbers  

30:00 – 34:00 – The Rapid Five 

It’s a beautiful day, Healthpreneurs, and I’m super excited to bring you another incredible episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today, I speak to Tanya Zuckerbrot, MS, RD, and founder of the F Factor Diet. This renowned diet is the only dietician-created program for weight-loss and optimal health that is based on – wait for it – scientifically proven fiber-rich nutrition. That’s right, fiber! 

Fiber doesn’t tend to get a lot of cred in the weight-loss space, and Tanya is on a mission to change that. She has written two bestselling weight-loss books on the subject, has been in private practice in Manhattan for over 20 years, and is a lecturer, consultant, spokesperson, and national media personality.  

Tanya and I get into why F Factor works and why she’s so pumped up to help people improve their health while maintaining their quality of life. She reveals what catapulted her business to success and how she juggles business life with family life while still leading her kids and clients by example. What Tanya discusses is totally relatable. Tune in for some solid business and personal takeaways! 

In this episode, Tanya and I discuss: 

• The F Factor’s 4 disruptive principles. 
• Her inspiration for helping others without compromising quality of life. 

• What’s lacking in the curriculum of health practitioners.  
• How mentorship changed the trajectory of F Factor for the better.  
• Work/life balance as an entrepreneur parent.  
• Being a parent and business owner that leads by example.  

4:00 – 9:00 - F Factor, why it works, and how they’ve been successful 

9:00 – 15:00 - Tanya’s inspiration to help others and F Factor’s proven methods and principles

24:00 – 31:00 - “Doing it all,” managing expectations, having support, and leading by example 

31:00 – 36:30 - The Rapid Five

Today on the Healthpreneur Podcast we’re going to explore the world of JOGA.  If you’ve never heard of JOGA, you’re going to learn all about it here with its founder, Jana Webb.  Jana discovered that yoga wasn’t conducive to her athletic body, movement, and mental needs.  From this realization, she created JOGA, a brand and practice that combines yoga with the movement, cadence, and flow that athletes require.  She also discovered the importance of creating a business and a product that works; with results that speak for themselves.

She discusses how she maintains alignment with her brand while organically growing her business and connecting with high-level teams to make JOGA a common and widely-accepted practice.

With the internet allowing for new ways to sell and build relationships with potential clients, we can now offer people a buying experience they’ll feel good about. Tune in to learn how to do away with tacky sales techniques, maintain your good reputation, and serve at the highest level.
