What It Really Takes to Build a Sustainable 6-Figure Nutrition Business (Leigh Merotto’s Journey)

Most 6-figure nutrition businesses aren’t built overnight; they’re built deliberately. 

In this episode of The Nutrition Business Show, I’m joined by my long-term client Leigh Merotto, whose business has grown steadily and intentionally over several years.

Leigh shares what her business looked like in the early days, from back-to-back 1:1 consultations and long hours to a calm, six-figure business supported by signature programs, systems, and clear boundaries.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ How Leigh transitioned from one-to-one work into scalable programs over time

✨ Why sustainable growth often requires data-led decisions rather than emotion

✨ The systems and structures that allowed her to scale without burning out

✨ How raising prices confidently led to stronger client commitment and outcomes
✨ Why values-led decision-making is key to building a sustainable nutrition business
