In this episode…
No one works harder than an entrepreneur, but that is a blessing and curse. So many entrepreneurs work hard to keep their businesses thriving but forget to take care of themselves. Yuri Elkaim, Founder and CEO of Healthpreneur, says that’s a big mistake.
But that’s not the only mistake entrepreneurs are making. For example, many health professionals outsource their marketing way too early without learning the ropes. This is just one reason why many of them struggle in business — they don’t understand how to market and position themselves and think someone else can do it for them. What other mistakes should you avoid in order to lead a healthier business (and life)?
In this Inspired Insider Podcast episode, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with the Founder and CEO of Healthpreneur, Yuri Elkaim. They discuss improving your health while growing your business, the best supplements to consider, business mistakes many health professionals make, and more insights and stories.

And, you know, when you’re in your teenage years, you know, fingerprick can seem like a big deal. And so when that happens, it’s can be traumatizing for someone who just wants to fit in and, you know, just be amongst the people. But he played professional soccer in his early 20s. And that propelled him into health and fitness. And, you know, he carried that approach and built a successful online health empire. And I heard about Yuri years and years ago, like I was watching some of your health videos, because I geek out on health related stuff must be over a decade ago. And he had a following of over 500,000 people to better their health. He had a platform he wrote best selling books, he was on Dr. Oz and the doctors in 2018. He sold that business. And he runs Healthpreneur, which is a world class team of coaches helping health professionals in and you know, kind of get to the high six and seven figure their virtual practices and create transformative results. And listen, I experienced that. As a chiropractor to hear. It’s like if you’re a naturopathic doctor or a chiropractor, if you are trading time for dollars, and you just want to make a bigger impact.
