The RDtoCEO Podcast

Coming back for part two of the money episodes, today we kick off with a personal story as I recount the nerve-wracking moment i disclosed my earnings to a friend and how that moment haunted me for almost 3 years! With this episode,  I hope to alleviate the shame you might feel if you feel like your practice isn't growing financially fast enough. Because what you may be comparing it to is a highlight reel on IG and not what a lot of business owners face as they slowly grow their practice.

We go through the evolution of my business and the profit and loss totals, from 2020 to end of year 2023. Yes, the actual numbers! We'll chat about some of the things that impacted both revenue and expenses, offering a real-world look at the complexities of growing a small business as a Registered Dietitian in private practice.

Join us for an honest conversation about the financial realities of entrepreneurship and be sure to check out some of the resources mentioned below!

Running a private practice as a registered dietitian isn't always the financial dream it's often made out to be.  At least not right away!

Get ready for a nuanced discussion on the complexities of running a private practice, from the challenges of insurance reimbursement rates to strategies for setting sustainable client loads. We’ll explore how to determine appropriate rates, manage expenses, and even the intricacies of running a group practice. Learn practical tips on balancing income, expenses, and quality care that you can apply to your own practice.  And stay tuned for part two, where I share ALL about my own revenue, profit, etc. while I read through my profit and loss sheets since 2020.

In this episode of the RDtoCEO Podcast, I have my very first guest on the podcast who is my business coach, Hannah Turnbull MSOL, RDN.

Hannah founded NourishED Colorado to create a space where people can recover from eating disorders through connection and compassion. Though Hannah no longer sees nutrition clients 1:1, she continues to hold the vision of the company and leads the team in doing the work they love. Outside of her work at NourishED Colorado, you can find Hannah supporting other values based group practice owners and co-hosting the business podcast, Weight Inclusive Innovators. Outside of running her businesses you can find Hannah in the Colorado mountains on an adventure, in her van somewhere in North America with her partner and doggos, at a coffee shop learning spanish, or connecting with friends over food.

We delve into the challenges, strategies, and key steps involved in growing a dietitian group practice, with Hannah sharing valuable insights from her experience in business when it was just her as a solo clinician, working part-time scooping ice cream, to overseeing a team of 9+ clinicians, in addition to now coaching over 35 group practice owners (including yours truly! 🙋🏻‍♀️).

Ever wondered if those initial conversations with clients are just a courtesy, or if they could be the cornerstone to building a successful dietitian private practice? Join me as we unravel the debate behind the importance of having discovery calls with potential clients and why I believe they play a critical role in connecting the right client with the right clinician. Tune in to hear more about the pros & cons of having discovery calls, how to navigate them in group practice, and hear a sample of my go-to script.
