Everything Mediterranean Diet - Alexandria Zozos Nutrition

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Alexandria Zozos, Founder of Alexandria Zozos Nutrition, located in Austin, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I offer Mediterranean Nutrition Coaching for those who want to prevent chronic conditions like diabetes, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or fatty liver or manage their one currently. My approach embodies a mindful Mediterranean lifestyle where all foods fit. A Mediterranean Diet has consistently ranked the best "diet" as the research speaks for itself in managing the above conditions.

Tell us about yourself

I always knew I wanted to be in a field that helped others live their best lives which led me to grad school at NYU to become a Registered Dietitian. I knew it was the career for me when I witnessed the food as medicine movement when my mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. My clients are my biggest motivators. When someone tells me they've been able to achieve their health goals without food guilt and diet culture dictating their choices, I know I've helped someone find peace in life.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment, I'd say, is making the decision to go for it. I left my clinic job at the beginning of the pandemic with no idea how to run a business and no more than a month's rent in my bank account. I knew it was now or never, and I had dreams about starting a Mediterranean nutrition community and running my own practice since the day I entered grad school. I don't think I would be where I am today without the go-for-it mentality.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Staying consistent and showing up when you think no one is listening. Even if you don't personally know who is tuning it, you're making a difference. Keep showing up for yourself and your community!

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Just get started and go for it - the perfect conditions don't exist. Perfectionism can sabotage a business from even starting.
2. Find your community and support system, whether it's a mastermind, business coach, or group of like-minded professionals. We can learn a lot from each other.
3. Find new ways to reach your audience, get creative and stay consistent!
