In this episode, functional medicine expert Maggie Berghoff explains how her health struggles paved the way to working with 7 and 8-figure entrepreneurs.
[4:54] Starting line: When Maggie was 22, she
was going to school to be a nurse practitioner when her 'body
cracked.’ Multiple doctors were unable to diagnose her health
ailments.
[7:57] Dr. Doom: A specialist diagnosed her with a rare kidney disease and told her nothing could be done. She was prescribed IV therapy 3x a week for the rest of her life…then scheduled to see him again in 6 months.
[8:35] Tipping point: "After that, I got in my car and bawled my eyes out and knew that I'm the only one that cares enough about me to go the extra mile and figure this out."
[11:02] Lightbulb moment: Her Aunt was seeing a functional medicine doctor at the time and Maggie discovered it was everything she wanted.
[11:39] Hiring a Mentor: She was trained as a functional medicine practitioner and hired a functional doctor to mentor her. He taught her unique practices that aligned with her beliefs.
[14:12] Business model development: Maggie started planning her future in functional med during her maternity leave in January 2017.
[15:17] Turning point: “I have an obligation to spread my words with people who are struggling and still going to traditional medical doctors for these things and decided enough is enough.”
[18:16] Healthy
Transformation: Within 6 months of following her
mentor's protocol, Maggie's symptoms disappeared. She also got
pregnant after thinking it wasn't possible.
[21:17] "That's the true definition of an expert...you
have to be the spitting image of what your clients want to
become."
[23:28] First client: Paige was a
22-year-old woman who struggled with skin issues and bloating. They
met in a sauna at a gym.
[24:56] Ideal client hunting: random situations, in-person relationships, and referrals. “Warm network will always be the best clients because they know, like, and already trust you.”
[25:34] Client satisfaction: Paige's skin and bloating issues went away within a week of working with Maggie.
[26:42] Sacrificing security: Maggie left her secure nursing job to pursue her passion full time. "Even though I see less people, I'm making way bigger of an impact than I did seeing 50 people every single day, giving them pills at the hospital."
[28:07] Shift to 8-figure clients: Through networking and mastermind events, she started attracting a mix of high-end entrepreneurs, socialite women, and successful executives.
[32:08] Coffee talk: Maggie shares her expertise and gives it to us straight…is coffee good or bad?
