Pursuing Private Practice

Glenys Oyston

There are many pathways to a full-time private practice, and Jennifer’s guest Glenys Oyston shares her journey of an incremental process to realizing her dream. Listen to her inspiring story of discovering Health at Every Size, niching down, and overcoming impostor syndrome on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast. Glenys tells us about her experience of being a restrictive dieter in her twenties, and how she chose the Dietetics industry with the career goal of being a weight loss dietitian. Throughout her years of course work, her obsession with food restriction and fear of gaining weight was dominating her life, and upon discovering HAES as a student, reflects on the transformation it had on her perspective, breaking her free from the diet lifestyle. Incorporating the principles of HAES with her inpatients and primary care work with spinal cord injuries and geriatrics, she met her future podcast partner Aaron Flores, RDN whom she learned about Intuitive Eating. All the while, she worked full-time with the dream of one day having her own private practice. Glenys tells how she transitioned into a practice incrementally over three years, and dealt with impostor syndrome by pushing through and learning by doing. “The only way to get through the fear is to go straight through it, and keep working at it until you’ve helped enough people that you start to feel good about it.” – Glenys Oyston Some of the topics discussed include:  How discovering Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating broke her free from restrictive eating issues, and empowered her to be okay with her natural body size.  The journey of starting her private practice with an incremental progression over several years; first with a blog in late 2014, ‘Dare to Not Diet’, then a podcast in 2015 with Aaron Flores, to taking her first clients in 2016. How she learned as she went, and has benefited from being one of the first to join the Pursuing Private Practice program (hyperlink?). https://jennifermcgurkrdn.teachable.com/p/ppp-for-ie How she dealt with fear of failure and impostor syndrome at each stage, and has built confidence by taking action and putting things in perspective to enjoy the ride.  Why she has narrowed down her niche of only working in areas she enjoys, and knows when to refer clients to other dietitians, without considering them as competition. The realization of her dream of full-time practice, and by making space for networking, more clients came.  “I’m in competition with the diet industry. I don’t buy the traditional competition model.

There are many pathways to a full-time private practice, and Jennifer’s guest Glenys Oyston shares her journey of an incremental process to realizing her dream. Listen to her inspiring story of discovering Health at Every Size, niching down, and overcoming impostor syndrome on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast. Glenys tells us about her experience of being a restrictive dieter in her twenties, and how she chose the Dietetics industry with the career goal of being a weight loss dietitian. Throughout her years of course work, her obsession with food restriction and fear of gaining weight was dominating her life, and upon discovering HAES as a student, reflects on the transformation it had on her perspective, breaking her free from the diet lifestyle. Incorporating the principles of HAES with her inpatients and primary care work with spinal cord injuries and geriatrics, she met her future podcast partner Aaron Flores, RDN whom she learned about Intuitive Eating. All the while, she worked full-time with the dream of one day having her own private practice. Glenys tells how she transitioned into a practice incrementally over three years, and dealt with impostor syndrome by pushing through and learning by doing. “The only way to get through the fear is to go straight through it, and keep working at it until you’ve helped enough people that you start to feel good about it.” – Glenys Oyston Some of the topics discussed include: <ul> <li>How discovering Health at Every Size and Intuitive Eating broke her free from restrictive eating issues, and empowered her to be okay with her natural body size. </li> <li>The journey of starting her private practice with an incremental progression over several years; first with a blog in late 2014, ‘Dare to Not Diet’, then a podcast in 2015 with Aaron Flores, to taking her first clients in 2016.</li> <li>How she learned as she went, and has benefited from being one of the first to join the Pursuing Private Practice program (hyperlink?). <a href="https://jennifermcgurkrdn.teachable.com/p/ppp-for-ie" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://jennifermcgurkrdn.teachable.com/p/ppp-for-ie</a></li> <li>How she dealt with fear of failure and impostor syndrome at each stage, and has built confidence by taking action and putting things in perspective to enjoy the ride. </li> <li>Why she has narrowed down her niche of only working in areas she enjoys, and knows when to refer clients to other dietitians, without considering them as competition.</li> <li>The realization of her dream of full-time practice, and by making space for networking, more clients came.</li> </ul> “I’m in competition with the diet industry. I don’t buy the traditional competition model. I’m there to lift up my fellow dietitians.” – Glenys Oyston For more information, visit <a href="https://www.pursuingprivatepractice.com/23" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.pursuingprivatepractice.com/23</a> SPONSOR INFO: This show is sponsored by a free guide for dietitians, The Top 5 Reasons Your Client Binge Eats (and How To Support Them In Their Journey To Feel Fabulous About Food).

As a leader in the field of eating disorders, Marci helps bust the myth of doing it all alone, and why working with teams and community is necessary to build a thriving business and to support her accomplishments in the dietetics industry. Fortunate to discover Intuitive Eating early in her internship, Marci reflects back on how it shaped her career and her own relationship with food, and influenced her niching down to eating disorders and HAES.

Her process of growing a group practice and the steps of developing her online course. How her community feedback helped her build version 2.0 of the program. The lack of training opportunities in eating disorder counseling, why dietitians need to learn more about it, and her passion for continuing to expand the role of dietitians.

How to Help Clients Heal Binge Eating Disorder with Alexis Conason

Hannah Turnbull

In this informative episode of the Pursuing Private Practice podcast, Jennifer is joined by Hannah Turnbull to shine a light on the pros and cons of taking insurance in a private practice. Hannah discusses how her own eating disorder recovery drove her to choose dietetics as a career. After discovering Intuitive Eating while in school, she explains why it took a while to ‘click’, and how her journey of recovery strengthens her relationship with clients. “Intuitive Eating is the reason I’m still a dietitian today.” – Hannah Turnbull Always an entrepreneur at heart, she shares how her transition to a private practice began while still working full-time at a hospital, and how her varied work experience prepared her for running a business. Now one year after transitioning from a solo to a group practice, Hannah tells how she hired her team to be in alignment with her values of a weight-inclusive practice, and how she leads the business and manages her employees. Together, Jennifer and Hannah then dive into the topic of insurance, how she brought in her value system in her decision to take insurance, and the learning curve involved. “For me it just made sense, I like to use my insurance when I can, and I want to make that one less barrier for somebody to be able to get care that they deserve.” – Hannah Turnbull Some of the topics discussed include:  Why she started taking insurance to be in alignment of her values to be accessible, inclusive and equal. Her learning process, and how she studied other HAES dietitians who were taking insurance to learn the first steps, and establishing a system. Why her practice is on 3 insurance panels, and instead of an all-or-nothing approach, why it’s okay to pick and choose and start with a few, and why she decided to not contract with some insurance companies. The importance of doing the research for your state, and utilizing the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’s individual state organizations and also local organization reimbursement chairs for localized information. The Pros of taking insurance, how it grew her practice, and provides better and consistent client care with weekly appointments. The Cons of taking insurance, dealing with the upfront work and delay to be accepted and the added expenses. How she handles reimbursement rejections to advocate for the client. The importance of policies and procedures and having clients sign off to understand. Why she created her first course “Nourish Your Knowledge” with colleague McKenzie Caldwell to provide a resource they wish they had earlier to better understand HAES and Intuitive Eating. Her plans for 2020 including speaking engagements and webinars to teach clinicians the steps to start taking insurance, and her role as an advocate to help clients have more access to insurance and support.

The Pros and Cons of Taking Insurance with Hannah Turnbull

Paige Smathers

Jennifer is joined by Paige Smathers, RDN, CD to explore the important topic of burnout for dietitians in private practice, and to share insightful and relevant strategies to prevent it. Together they explore the definition of burnout, and shine a light on the causes of it from not only the complexities of the dietitian industry and our clients, but also from the anxiety and uncertainty that the online world can cause private practice owners. They reflect on the need to have honest conversations with ourselves and acknowledge how this work can be exhausting with the pressures to manage all aspects of the job.   Paige shares how she recognizes the early signs of depletion that leads to burnout, how she came to accept that discomfort, uncertainty and discouragement are part of this work and being in private practice, and how she developed mindfulness skills to deal with that, rather than just trying to feel better.   Jennifer and Paige discuss how learning to tolerate the distress of this work can actually help dietitians grow in other aspects of life, and be role models for our clients. “Mindfulness for me is not about feeling good; it’s about getting more skilled and able to feel the discomfort that I’m feeling, because discomfort and uncertainty is part of this work.” ~Paige Smathers   Some of the topics discussed include:  Paige’s journey from seeing inpatient hospital clients, to her discovery of Intuitive Eating and starting a practice. How her private practice and podcast has developed since 2015, and the importance of staying true to her message and mission. Self-care strategies and how to maintain realistic boundaries in private practice by working smarter, not harder. How diversifying and building in-person connections in your local community can re-energize you and your practice. The differences between in-person versus online burnout, and ways to stay grounded and true to your values when social media causes anxiety and uncertainty. Proactive mindfulness techniques and managing your schedule to maintain energy levels.    We need to take care of ourselves so we can effectively work with our clients and thrive in our practice.

Beth Rosen

Jennifer is delighted to have Beth Rosen as her guest on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast. As a non-diet Registered Dietitian for over 20 years, Beth shares her journey of gaining expertise in the area of digestive health within the niche of intuitive eating. From her early career in corporate wellness, Beth reflects on her discovery of HAES and Intuitive Eating, and how her awareness evolved from the diet culture approach. After taking a break to raise her children, Beth re-tookher RD exam and tells of her transition to private practice and niching down. She also looks back on how she transitioned from imposing food restrictions on her children’s diets to allowing them to choose for themselves, crediting this approach to their current practice of natural intuitive eating. Some of the topics discussed include:  Juggling motherhood and career, and the benefits of private practice. How managing her own IBS symptoms led to her expertise of the Low FODMAP diet, and why she niched down to disordered eating for clients with gut health issues.   How private practice and her client’s issues inspired Beth to create online courses and programs for clients with digestive health issues. The satisfaction of referring other HAES dietitians that are niched down in a specialty without the diet culture approach. The opportunities to learn from others of like-mind in the HAES-informed dietitian community.

How to Grow a Private Practice in a Small Community with Adina Pearson

In this solo episode, Jennifer takes you on a deep dive about the topic of success as a dietitian business owner, and in particular, reflects on how success is defined by you personally. With the weight-inclusive, HAES and Intuitive Eating approach yet to become mainstream in our profession, the trend is seeing many dietitians moving to private practice in order to truly align with their values as a provider, make a difference in the world, and “succeed” on their own terms. Some of the topics discussed include:  If the definition of “success” truly means what you think it means. How success changes as your life and business changes. How being in private practice with you as the boss allows you to succeed at providing care that is impactful. Why dietitians need community and additional business and nutritional counselling skills training to have confidence to build a business.  We ask our clients to do hard work every single day in order to succeed at healing their relationship with food. We as private practice owners have to ask ourselves to do that hard work too, because growing a business is a journey that is hard and full of ups and downs but it’s sooo worth it. The main message from this episode is this; if you have the passion to truly create success on your own terms, your business will be successful, and you WILL be making a difference.

A Life and Business Update with Evelyn Tribole, Co-Founder of Intuitive Eating

Haley Goodrich

HAES® informed eating disorders dietitian Haley Goodrich joins Jennifer for an informative and heartwarming discussion on this episode of the Pursuing Private Practice Podcast. Co-founder of INSPIRD to SEEK, a community for weight-inclusive healthcare professionals, Haley shares her story of how she evolved to become an advocate and educator of the HAES approach to dietetics. After quickly discovering early in her career that clinical dietetics was not her jam, she reflects how becoming an entrepreneur was the only way to practice the way she wanted. After opening a private practice which grew quicker than she anticipated, she studied Intuitive Eating as a tool, learned more about how to teach her clients about HAES, and worked toward being an eating disorders dietitian. Now running a group practice with two other dietitians, Haley discusses the process of hiring, the satisfaction of employing others, and how success in a private practice is not always based on the numbers, but sustained growth by creating relationships with referral sources and practitioners in the area. “I was tired of living really small, and I’d rather take a risk and live a bigger life than feel really safe inside my comfort zone, and I’ll figure it out.” – Haley Goodrich Haley also tells how she took on the Eating Disorders Chair position in the Behavioral Health and Nutrition dietetic practice group from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, how it has helped her to communicate strategically, and the importance of HAES being embraced in the academy. She also shares how INSPIRD to SEEK evolved out of her own need for community at a time before any Facebook groups, and being the only HAES practitioner in Pittsburgh, PA. Together they shine a light on the topic of collaboration instead of competition in the niche of anti-diet practitioners, and how we all bring our own message that is unique to help each other learn and grow. “I truly think that competition in this space is a way to distract ourself from the real purpose of our work. We don’t need to compete against each other. We’re going against the grain and a $70 billion diet industry; that’s who we need to compete against.” – Haley Goodrich Some of the topics discussed include:  The privilege of being a Dietitian and being able to take the risk of being a business owner. The challenge of finding balance her professional and personal life. The importance of boundaries, how they shift, and managing time on social media. Her passion for supporting dietitians in private practice to shift to a weight-inclusive approach.  Her advice to new dietitians.
