Stephanie Moore, co-founder of Totton Nutrition, joins me on this episode of the podcast.

 

With so many of us, either looking to lose weight, improve our nutrition and overall health, it can often be hard to know where to turn to. There can often be misleading advice, products sold without any guidance, so, with something as important as your health, it is good to have somewhere to turn.

 

We discuss the high tech equipment on offer to their clients, the attention to detail is extraordinary, and it is no wonder they get such great results for their clients. We also discuss what it is like to run such a business, the ups and downs and everything in between.

 

We also discuss the personal story from Stephanie and why it encouraged her to start the business, and when there is a human story behind a business, it often leads to great success, here is another example.
