[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?

 

[34:09] Experts corner: Maggie on hiring a health practitioner

  • Mass programs may offer steps that don’t apply to your life
  • Hire a clinician you trust that does 1on 1 so you get the attention you need
  • Direct attention makes it easy for you to follow protocol
  • “They’re like a micromanager for your health.”
