How to Be an Authentic Practitioner: Interview with Ronald Hoffman - PPP: 077

For today's episode, I've brought on Dr. Ronald Hoffman. He is a medical doctor by trade but does a lot of integrative therapy in New York. Something that I thought was really great about this interview as we talked a lot about sort of starting up your business and figuring out your identity as a practitioner, not feeling the pressure to pigeonhole yourself into a particular niche or a particular brand of medicine, but more talking about how you can be a general practitioner to your patients and still be widely successful in your practice. It really comes down to the essence and how authentic you are as a practitioner, rather than defining a niche, or therapy, or brand. It's about really standing for what you believe in as a practitioner and showing the world that. We also talk about how you can then go on to market yourself.

In my business, I firmly believe that niching and figuring out your path makes things a lot easier, but I run a very generalized practice. I focus a lot on digestion and hormones and weight loss, but I still do treat a lot of pregnant people and their kids. I work with a lot of chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases, but I tout myself as someone who Maximizes their health, so we can maximize your digestion, maximize your hormones, maximize your weight loss, but more importantly, we're maximizing your health. That was my way of branding my authentic self in a generalized practice. While you're listening to this, please don't feel you have to go down a single lane path. You can definitely divide your knowledge across the field, but you do have to figure out that one way to speak to your audience and how to get in front of those people.
