Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Adrienne Raimo, RDN, Founder of One Bite Wellness, located in Columbus, OH, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
At One Bite Wellness, we serve as the bridge between where people currently are with their digestive and weight issues to where they want to be - feeling 'cleaner,' leaner, and having more natural energy to pursue their life's mission. We have a special blend of nutrition, lifestyle, and other modalities we bring in, personalized to the individual client.
Tell us about yourself
As an Integrative & Functional Dietitian-Nutritionist who resolved her own chronic health issues, my passion is guiding client transformation – from feeling uncomfortable, frustrated, and confused to having vibrant energy, clarity in their own best diet, and feeling more comfortable in their bodies. Nutrition is only one part of the puzzle, so we bring in sustainable lifestyle changes, botanical medicine, and transformational health & mindset coaching. This approach is responsible for the incredible success clients achieve. Using critical thinking skills and the principles of functional medicine, I assist clients in uncovering the root cause of health and wellness struggles.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Guiding client transformation - it's incredibly rewarding to help people overcome their health issues at any age. See the ripple effect in their lives when they now have the energy to do what they wish. From 20-year-olds who were 'junk food vegans' with low energy, hormone imbalances, and eating too much sugar to roller skating and enjoying their nutrient-dense meals. One client in her 70s had the life goal of traveling the Camino del Santiago but couldn't go anywhere without knowing where the next restroom would be. We figured out a food sensitivity she had related to her diarrhea, and with that decades-old problem resolved, she was able to check another activity off her bucket list! It's incredibly gratifying to impact someone else's life positively.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Wearing all the hats and being responsible for all the things IN the business and working ON it.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Get a mentor to help guide you on the path to do it quicker, smarter, and with fewer mistakes.
- Do something every day to take a step toward your dream business.
- Don't compare your journey to others.
