    Episode 23: From Clinician to Creator, How Alexandria Zozos Built a Longevity-Led Nutrition Brand

    In this episode of the Practify Podcast, I sit down with Alexandria Zozos, also known as The Mediterranean Dietitian, to unpack the journey from traditional clinician to creator and authority in the nutrition space. Alexandria shares how her clinical training, Greek heritage, and connection to the Mediterranean lifestyle shaped a longevity-focused approach that prioritises energy, quality of life, and sustainability over weight loss and short-term trends. From launching her private practice during the pandemic to committing early to a clear niche, she reflects on the mindset shifts required to build credibility while staying true to your values. We explore how Alexandria built a brand by listening closely to her audience, teaching what people actually need, and turning expertise into scalable assets like her published book. She also opens up about imposter syndrome, navigating online criticism, and why frameworks outperform rigid plans when it comes to long-term change. If you’re a practitioner considering content creation, education, or a more scalable path beyond one-to-one work, this episode offers a grounded perspective on building authority, impact, and longevity without losing clinical integrity.

    Episode 22: From Private Practice to Health Tech Platform, How Kelly Carter Built RenewRx

    Today, I sit down with Kelly Carter, registered dietitian and co-founder of RenewRx Health, to unpack what it really looks like to scale impact in women’s health without losing the human connection that makes care effective. Kelly shares how her early work in one-to-one consultations shaped her belief that nutrition outcomes are rarely about information alone and almost always about behavior, environment, and feeling genuinely heard. From supporting women through hormone imbalances and pregnancy to confronting the limitations of traditional healthcare models, she explains why empathy, trust, and context became non-negotiables in her work. We explore how RenewRx was built to solve a problem most practitioners feel every day: how to support more patients meaningfully without burning out or becoming purely transactional. Kelly breaks down her philosophy of “scaling the unscalable,” using technology and data to remove friction and admin, while doubling down on the human moments that actually drive change. She also speaks candidly about why AI doesn’t threaten great practitioners, but instead exposes where care has been reduced to systems without soul. This conversation goes deep into the realities of building a platform that works alongside doctors, insurers, and health systems, while staying aligned with strong clinical values. Kelly reflects on shifting her identity from clinician to builder, learning to lead teams, navigating partnerships, and measuring success not by speed of growth but by outcomes, stability, and long-term impact for women and their families. If you’re a practitioner who wants to reach more people, integrate technology thoughtfully, or build something bigger than yourself without sacrificing empathy or integrity, this episode offers a powerful, experience-led perspective on what sustainable scale in healthcare can truly look like.

    Episode 21: From Solo Dietitian to 10-Clinician Team: How Katharine Jeffcoat Scaled Without Burnout

    In this episode of the Practify Podcast, I sit down with Katharine Jeffcoat, a registered dietitian with over 26 years of experience who has built one of the most respected pediatric and family nutrition group practices in the US. Katharine shares how she grew NY Pediatric and Family Nutrition from a solo private practice into a thriving team of nearly ten clinicians without sacrificing quality of care, values, or work-life balance. We explore what it really takes to move from being the clinician who does everything to becoming a leader who builds systems, culture, and longevity. Katharine opens up about the fear and responsibility that come with hiring, how she approached growth before burnout hit, and why waiting until you’re overwhelmed is often the most expensive mistake practitioners make. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a group practice, including how to hire and retain great clinicians, protect your brand as you scale, and let go of the need to be the bottleneck in your own business. Katharine also shares how her identity shifted from full-time clinician to mentor and CEO, and why success for her now looks like stability, impact, and time with her family rather than constant expansion. If you’re a dietitian or allied health practitioner who feels maxed out, stuck at capacity, or unsure how to grow without losing yourself in the process, this episode offers a grounded, experience-led perspective on what sustainable scale can actually look like.

    Episode 20: From Chef to Functional Nutrition Practitioner: How Angie Morales Built The Real Food Mama

    In this episode of the Practify Podcast, I’m joined by Angie Morales, founder of The Real Food Mama, to explore her journey from private chef to functional nutrition practitioner and the philosophy that now underpins her work with women seeking real, sustainable healing. Angie shares how her own post-motherhood health struggles became the catalyst for change, leading her to discover the power of real food, bio-individual nutrition, and nourishment over restriction. We talk about how that personal transformation gave her the confidence to rebuild her life, leave an unhealthy relationship, and eventually create a practice rooted in integrity, intuition, and long-term impact. This conversation goes beyond nutrition alone. Angie opens up about the mindset shifts required to move from scarcity to stability, why perfectionism keeps so many women stuck, and how true healing is rarely linear. She also explains how she structures her programs, boundaries, and systems to scale her practice without sacrificing client care or burning out. Whether you’re a practitioner building a values-led practice, a woman navigating chronic symptoms, or someone who feels overwhelmed by conflicting wellness advice, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective on what sustainable health and success can actually look like.

    In this episode, we sit down with Caitlin Johnson, a PCOS and fertility dietitian who turned her own diagnosis into a globally recognised practice and platform. Caitlin shares how being both a patient and a practitioner shaped the way she works with women with PCOS, and how that lived experience influenced every stage of her business growth.

We unpack common misconceptions around PCOS care, how Caitlin sets realistic expectations with clients who want fast results, and the systems she uses to support long-term behaviour change. On the business side, she breaks down pricing mistakes, moving beyond one-to-one work, and how she built scalable offers like her app, supplements, and programs without losing clinical depth.

    Episode 18: From Politics to Nutrition, How Michelle Pillepich Built an Intuitive Eating Practice

    Today, we sit down with Michelle Pillepich, an intuitive eating dietitian who has built a sustainable private practice centred on eating disorder recovery and non-diet care. Michelle shares her non-linear path into dietetics and the moment intuitive eating became more than a clinical framework, it became the foundation of how she built her business. We unpack the real decisions behind that growth, including navigating insurance alongside private pay, building strong referral relationships, and attracting aligned clients in a weight-centric industry. This conversation goes beyond clinical philosophy and into the realities of practice ownership. We discuss niching with confidence, setting clear expectations with clients, marketing without selling out, and the mindset shifts required to build a practice that prioritises sustainability and practitioner longevity.

This conversation is for practitioners who feel capped by their own capacity and are starting to ask what’s possible beyond one-to-one work.
