Why Be Just a Health Coach When You Can Become a Licensed, Board-Certified Holistic Doctor?

I worked in corporate at a diagnostics lab but desperately wanted my own practice. After reversing my children's tic disorder symptoms through nutrition, I researched becoming a registered dietitian and other clinical nutrition programs — but none were as thorough or current as I was looking for.

When I found Rockwell in 2017, I knew it was different. The program was more comprehensive than conventional RD or nutritionist curricula — truly cutting-edge, constantly updated, free from outdated food pyramids and ineffective protocols.

Earning my holistic doctorates took time, energy, and money, but I started practicing the day I finished — and they paid for themselves within months. At first, I handled everything — intake calls, marketing, client screening. Within 18 months, I had a team. Now someone handles intro calls on commission and covers basic nutritional education.

Now I just read labs and work directly with clients for about 2 hours total per client. They get the same results — I'm just focused on what I do best and love most.

In just a few short years, I've written a #1 bestselling book, launched a top-ranked podcast, and become the go-to expert for parents dealing with pediatric tic disorders. I started at $200/hour, moved to $700, and now charge $950/hour. The lab I used to work for now creates custom diagnostic tests specifically for my practice.

It's incredible how far I've come — from part-time corporate employee to full-time practice owner with a team, my own supplement line, and premium rates.

Most importantly, my work has changed lives for the better. Dozens of people have pursued this path because of my story — because they saw what real education makes possible. If this helps another provider step into their full potential and authority, it's worth sharing.
