Nutrition Counselling Corner

Do you get frustrated or annoyed when clients bring up nutrition strategies they have read about online? Does it sometimes feel like they are questioning your approach?
This is a common challenge in dietetic practice and one that is only becoming more common with the rise of social media. In this episode, Stephanie discusses the three things she realised that changed how she approached these conversations and how to navigate them in a way that optimises client engagement, trust and rebooking rates.

Have you ever had a client tell you"I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"? For many dietitians, this is one of the most frustrating moments in a follow-up session. In this episode, Stephanie explores why clients often struggle to act on information they already know, what may really be getting in their way, and how understanding behaviour change can transform the way you approach these conversations. If you've ever felt stuck, unsure what to say next, or wondered why your clients aren't following through, this episode is for you.

Do you ever open a client's chart before a follow-up session and think to yourself "What am I even going to talk about today?" In this episode, Stephanie shares the five key changes that transformed her follow-up sessions, client retention and confidence as a dietitian. You'll learn why more information isn't always more valuable, how over-educating can reduce retention, and why understanding behaviour change is essential if you want clients to stay engaged and make progress.

In this episode, I'm sharing a roundtable discussion recorded with Practify Founder Gilad Janet and Jo White Business Coach and Strategist. It was a great conversation and one that made me want to share it with you all. 
We unpack three common misconceptions:
• "It's hard to get clients through social media" • "You can't build a profitable practice within an insurance model" • "If clients aren't changing, it means they're not motivated"
We explore what's actually driving these challenges in practice, and I share my perspective on client retention and structuring consults to better support behaviour change.
