In this episode, we dive into what truly makes a nutrition business thrive—client retention and perceived value. I share insights from my own journey, including how I struggled with retention early on despite following textbook-perfect consults. Through a survey of 50 clients, I discovered that those who saw the most value in nutrition services received multiple tangible products—like diet analyses, customized meal plans, and body scans—rather than just verbal advice. By aligning services with client expectations while staying evidence-based, you can boost retention, enhance client satisfaction, and ultimately build a more profitable business. We also explore a critical mindset shift around client results—especially in weight loss. While we're trained to promote slow and steady progress, research shows that structured, faster results can be just as effective when done safely. Clients will seek quick fixes with or without us, so why not guide them in a sustainable way? If you want to improve retention, provide tangible value, and grow your business efficiently, this episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you get there. Tune in now!
