Leading Plant-Based Nutritional Expert

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ara Wiseman, founder of Ara Wiseman Nutrition & Healing, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.

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

I specialize in nutrition for weight-related health issues, energy, performance, aging, skincare, and disease management. I work in two medical clinics and at Kinective Health, a boutique physical therapy clinic. I work privately with clients around the world. I am presently working on the 10th-anniversary edition of my book Feed Your Body, Feed Your Soul.

Tell us about yourself

When I was in grade four, someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. "A nutritionist," I replied. Even when I was little, I inherently knew that eating fruits and vegetables was healthy, and eating a lot of meat was not. I feel blessed to be working in this field. I am able to help people with their health to become healthier versions of themselves.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I have worked with thousands of people over the years. I have written and published three books. I have written and taught nutrition and wellness courses at Colleges. I have formulated a new product line that I will be launching soon.

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

It is hard to do everything myself. It is important to say No to work when it doesn't feel like the right fit. I don't always have time to post on social media and to get a newsletter out. I get co-op students from a nutrition school to help.

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

Be patient; it takes time to build a business. You have to work hard and go the extra mile for your clients. Someone once said to me, "don't work harder than your client," they have to meet you halfway and make the necessary changes in order to heal.

Find your passion and start doing it as a hobby if you are working at another job. Find joy in your everyday existence and make peace with what is.
