40 Marketing Strategies to Grow Your Nutrition Business

In this episode of How to Build a Profitable Nutrition Business, Chris is joined by his wife and marketing strategist Stacey Hughes to share over 40 marketing strategies that helped them grow their dietetic business into a thriving seven-figure operation. From humble beginnings with no time for marketing and three kids under three, they dive into how referrer relationships, like weekly meetings with GPs and chronic disease nurses, became the backbone of their growth. They also discuss the creative tools they used to stay top of mind—like branded recipe magazines, co-branded resources, conference speaking gigs, and even old-school postcards that delivered an impressive ROI. Whether it was building online calculators for eating disorder referrals or dropping off sushi platters to start conversations, their approach combined consistency, creativity, and community. They also explore what worked when targeting the public, from SEO-optimised blogs and Facebook ads to cooking demos, webinars, and health challenges that boosted engagement and email signups. Stacey highlights how automation tools and AI have made marketing more accessible than ever, and why building visibility through regular content—like Lives, podcasts, and newsletters—remains crucial. They wrap up by sharing what they’d do differently today, from leveraging Google Ads to deeper nurturing of existing clients. This episode is a goldmine for any health professional wanting practical, real-world strategies that don’t require a full-time marketing team.

How the Book I Never Wanted to Write Impacted My Career with Natasa Denman

In this episode of How to Build a Profitable Nutrition Business, Chris Hughes shares the unexpected story of the book he never wanted to write—and how that very book became one of the most powerful tools in his career as a dietitian and entrepreneur. Joining him is the woman who made it all happen: Natasa Denman, founder and CEO of Ultimate 48 Hour Author. Chris opens up about the imposter syndrome that almost kept him from writing a book, the resistance he felt going into the process, and how his wife Stacey quietly signed him up anyway. What followed was a career-defining experience that not only helped Chris extract the knowledge in his head but gave him the confidence to own his expertise, land speaking gigs, and ultimately grow and sell a successful business. Natasa breaks down her method for turning experts into authors—fast. Her system, developed for time-poor professionals, helps extract valuable knowledge and structure it into a book in just 48 hours. Together, they reflect on the behind-the-scenes moments, the power of publishing for credibility, and how the process can transform not just your business, but your identity as a leader. A CSP-accredited speaker and 15-time published author, Natasa Denman is the creator of the Ultimate 48 Hour Author system. Since launching her business in 2010, she has helped more than 950 solopreneurs across 15 countries become published authors. In 2018, she founded Ultimate World Publishing, supporting her authors as they go on to write second and third books. Featured in major Australian media including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Financial Review and The Age, Natasa now runs a multi 7-figure business from home with her husband and three children—having successfully pivoted her company online in 2020. Whether you're a nutritionist, dietitian, PT, or health coach, this episode is packed with inspiration, real talk, and practical advice for turning your expertise into something bigger. Writing a book isn’t about being a bestseller—it’s about becoming the next version of yourself and opening up doors you never knew existed.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
