EP 99: How Dietitian-Naturopath Casey Went From Idea to Full Group Program Cohort in 8 Weeks
If you work with clients in the natural health space, chances are you're already working with disordered eating, whether you realise it or not. But do you feel equipped to support them safely?
In this episode, I'm joined by Casey Conroy (naturopath, dietitian, yoga teacher, and credentialed eating disorder clinician) shares exactly how she built a practitioner training program to answer that very question, and how she launched and filled her first cohort in just 8 weeks.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
✨ The red flags most practitioners miss because eating disorders rarely look the way we expect
✨ How common presentations like gut issues, PCOS, and hormonal conditions can mask disordered eating
✨ What well-meaning practitioners do that accidentally reinforces disordered eating
✨ The "ask-offer-ask" framework for raising sensitive concerns with clients without breaking trust or putting their walls up
✨ How Casey launched and filled her first practitioner program cohort in 8 weeks inside Momentum Club
If you've ever felt unsure how to handle a client you suspect might have a complicated relationship with food, this episode will give you language, clarity, and confidence.
And if you've been sitting on a program idea but can't seem to get it out of your head and into the world, Casey's story will show you exactly what getting unstuck can look like.
