Today my guest, Andrea Nakayama and I talk about how her company, Functional Nutrition Alliance is doing its part to fill in the “gaps” in the healthcare industry in the United States.
Andrea’s work stems from a personal tragedy. Her young husband was diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor when she was just seven weeks pregnant with their only child.
Andrea is an educator, a Functional Medicine Nutritionist, and the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast. She teaches other coaches and clinicians around the world how to reclaim ownership of their own health and the health of their patients.
In addition to the state of healthcare, we also talk about the isolating nature of entrepreneurship and offer tips for not taking the business “pivots” personally.
Finally, Andrea shares her best action steps for growing her business, the biggest challenges that she sees for female business owners, and how to unpack complicated feelings that you might have around selling your business.
