Mercy, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Setting up an independent practice is a daunting endeavor. Can you talk to us about what it was like for you – what were some of the main steps, challenges, etc.
Mercy Aremu, is a licensed professional Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist, founder of YourFide Dietitian and Healing Favor Nutrition Inc., first discovered her charitable spirit when she established a worldwide counseling motivational group at the age of 12. Since then, she compassionately participated in various community service programs in high-school and college.

What were some of the key challenges in setting up your own office/practice and would you have done anything differently knowing what you know now?
Establishing a small business such as a private counseling practice requires a lot of planning and ongoing maintenance. It takes astute clinical judgement, innovative problem-solving and effective discerning collaboration to succeed. As a healthcare professional, It’s crucial to consistently share my dedication for the care of patients by improving quality metrics and patient education initiatives.
Any advice for a young professional who might be considering starting their own practice?
Small Private practice can gain efficiencies through tools like electronic health records software, and a patient portal. To be honest, Patients who are involved in their care are more likely to follow recommendations and adopt healthy behaviors.
