92-How to Do What You Love (And Get Paid) with Lori Shemek

It’s another great day on the Healthpreneur Podcast! Today I’m speaking with Dr. Lori Shemek, a best-selling author, radio show host, and weight loss expert. She holds a doctorate in Psychology, she is a certified Nutritional Consultant, and she’s also a certified Life Coach.  

 

Early in her career, Lori was a counselor. But when she realized how big an impact diet shifts made on her client’s health, she pursued something greater that married the two. Lori has made it her mission to help as many people as possible and spread the word about inflammation and its effects on overall health.  

 

Lori and I will reflect on her background and how she transitioned into what she is doing today. We’ll also discuss her two books and her experience with both traditional and self-publishing. Tune in if you want to write a book, if you’re curious about how to start podcasting, and if you want some pro-tips on how to consistently spread your message.  

 

In this episode, Lori and I discuss: 

Where her inspiration to help people came from.  The results she saw in her clients when she incorporated nutrition.  Publishing vs. self-publishing outlets pros and cons.   The road to optimal health.  A new podcasting platform called Anchor Radio.
