Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephanie Rackley, RDN.
Stephanie, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I originally began The Healthy Chew nutrition blog during my undergraduate career. This platform began as an outlet for me to help inspire and educate people about healthier living with good nutrition choices. After I graduated with a degree in Nutritional Science, I went on to complete my Dietetic Internship and certification as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Today, The Healthy Chew has grown several branches and the start of my private nutrition practice began in early 2018.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has definitely not been a smooth road, nor will it ever be smooth sailing. Being an entrepreneur and small business owner, I knew it would be a rough and rocky road but I was determined to make it. We choose the road less traveled because we have visions and goals for what we want to accomplish in life. Making a difference even in one person’s life means more to me than anything else ever could. Some of the struggles I think all entrepreneurs face are the eyes of the public, waiting for us to fail, give up, pack up the books and head home. Not having somebody telling you what to do or how to do it can be challenging as well, knowing your success depends on every choice you make can be stressful. However, as long as the passion for the vision remains, anything can happen.
The Healthy Chew – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
My company has several branches stretching from my first nutrition blog, ‘The Healthy Chew’ to my private nutrition consulting practice, ‘AVO Good Life Nutrition LLC’. My audience reaches across the main social media pages such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest allowing me educate and inspire a wide audience of people. I mainly specialize in general preventative nutrition with the use of more whole foods in the kitchen and an active lifestyle. I am known for my creative recipes, being a recipe developer at heart, I am always in the kitchen crafting easy and healthy recipes for my audience to enjoy. I am most proud of the audience growth I have achieved in only a few short years. As a small business owner, I know I have a long way to go but celebrating the little wins along the way is just as important. What sets me apart from others is the team my husband and I have built together. He is known for his YouTube persona ‘LakeForkGuy’ and together, we have built a brand based on family, health, outdoors and good nutrition, which incorporates a wider audience than just health gurus.
