Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Tiffany Adela, a Gut Health Consultant of Tiffany Adela HWC, located in Corpus Christi, TX, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a gut health consultant who helps women discover the root cause of their gut-related symptoms using specialized lab testing and personalized step-by-step guidance. I’m on a mission to help women heal from within, end bloating, and wake up every morning feeling energized, focused, and ready to take on the day!
Tell us about yourself
I’m a Nurse Practitioner turned health and wellness consultant and gut health specialist. I first explored functional medicine and holistic healing routes after I started to have my own health issues and suffer from constant bloating, tiredness, food sensitivities, skin issues, brain fog, and anxiety. I went to multiple doctors who ran labs but told me everything was normal. First, I was told I was just stressed because I was in school. After I had kids, I was told being tired and bloated was part of being a mom. I got to the point where I felt absolutely exhausted every single day. I couldn’t eat anything without bloating and couldn’t make it through the day without wanting a nap. I moved away from traditional medicine and began my journey into the functional medicine world. It was there that I discovered labs not available in traditional medicine that show exactly what is going on in your gut, including bacterial overgrowths that are present, candida, leaky gut, gluten sensitivity, and more.
By getting to the root cause of my symptoms, I was able to understand exactly what I needed to do to reduce all of my gut-related issues. Once I started to make the right lifestyle changes and break habits that were causing me to have poor gut health, I began to heal. Seeing how much of a difference functional medicine made to my own life and how many people were being failed by traditional healthcare, I embarked on a personal mission. I became passionate about helping others find the root cause of their health issues and overcome the negative impact it had on their day-to-day life.
Functional medicine was completely life-changing for me. Now it’s my passion and motivation to help other women change their lives so they can feel amazing again too!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I have been honored to use the knowledge and expertise I have gained to help other women drastically improve their health and start truly living again. Seeing their success is one of my biggest accomplishments. On the business side of things, by creating a business that I am passionate about and maintaining consistency, I was able to start and scale my business to 20k months within four months of starting my business with organic marketing only and reached six figures in my first year. I also now mentor others who are ready to create their own health consulting business, which is an amazing experience.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Mindset is everything. Being a business owner is really a journey of self-exploration. You find out things about yourself that are amazing and also face challenges that seem like they will bring you down. I have had to learn that motivation is not enough to run a business. You will not always feel motivated to keep going, but that is really where a positive mindset and discipline come in so you can push through the hurdles and come out better than ever.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Practice positive and successful mindset techniques daily, such as scripting, meditation, and affirmations.
- Make sure that the business you create is something that you are passionate about so that you can have the discipline to keep going even when the motivation is not there.
- Do not give up; the biggest wins are on the other side of the hurdles.
