Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sandy Kruse, Founder of Sandy K Nutrition, located in Toronto, ON, CA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am an Aging-Better Advocate. As the Podcast host of Sandy K Nutrition, Health & Lifestyle Queen, I educate women over 40 on how to live their best life through alternative means not covered through mainstream means. This wildly popular podcast provides so much insight on how to live healthfully from midlife and beyond. I also work with occasional clients as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist to get to the root cause or causes of their symptoms.
Tell us about yourself
In my early 40's, I had thyroid cancer and had my entire thyroid removed. All the signs were there of thyroid dysfunction, but western medicine caught it once I was already sick. This is why I advocate so hard to notice the signs and pay attention to them before they proliferate into illness. While there are no guarantees in life, I am so passionate that we can rebalance the body through alternative means, including biohacking and self-awareness, to age better than we do.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Going back to school at 46 and graduating at 49 to be able to do what I do now - that is, help people all over the world to live a better and healthier life, bringing to them solutions, concepts, products, lifestyle habits, and more that are just not talked about.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Working alone for the most part...sometimes you feel lonely, and it's hard to motivate yourself.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a plan.
- Get a mentor or two but don't expect them to help you for free!
- Collaborate with others in the industry.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Do not ever let age get in the way of your dreams! You can truly do whatever you want at any age you want.
