Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Christine MacCarroll, owner of Taproot Nutrition, LLC., located in Lone Tree, CO, USA.

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

I help women in midlife heal their metabolisms and get their mood, energy, and mojo back. I believe that when a woman feels amazing in her skin, she has the confidence to change the world.

Tell us about yourself

After completing tanking my own health a decade ago while helping my then-2- year-old daughter overcome a debilitating neurological speech condition, I learned two things firsthand:

  1. The way we do health around here doesn't actually help most people.
  2. Humans have an incredible capacity to heal when their bodies and brains receive what they've been missing.

My clients have often been frustrated by the medical system and providers who don't hear and understand their struggles. When you're drowning in a sea of symptoms, the 7 minutes and a prescription for something that masks symptoms instead of solving them simply doesn't cut it.

I've opted out of that model because it doesn't work . . . and I am inspired every day by the women in my practice who are healing. I've helped my daughter, myself, and now hundreds of other women to heal by demanding more and doing it differently.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Growing to a waitlist practice that is filled with women getting results!

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

The hardest part and the best part are the same - it all comes down to you and your vision and leadership!

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

  1. Start with service. Don't start by making the prettiest website (or even a website at all). Get people results.
  2. Talk to everyone. It's the earliest and best form of marketing.
  3. Get help right away. I wish I hadn't spent so long doing admin work that could have SO easily been handed off to a VA. I could have spent twice as much time doing #1 and #2 and growing the business!
