Andrea Nordling, founder of The Profitable Nutritionist, has built a thriving coaching empire teaching wellness professionals how to create six and seven-figure businesses without ever touching social media. Her contrarian approach and deep business expertise have made her one of the most influential voices in wellness entrepreneurship.

From VFW Blackjack Tables to Business Mastery
Andrea Nordling’s entrepreneurial journey reads like an unconventional adventure novel. While working multiple jobs during college waiting tables, driving the Holiday Inn shuttle van, and attending classes full-time she found time to learn card counting at a VFW basement from a 70-year-old Greek man who barely spoke English. This early comfort with the unknown and willingness to zig when others zagged would become the foundation of her business philosophy.
Nordling has built three highly successful businesses from scratch across different industries. Her first venture was a real estate brokerage where she sold tens of millions of dollars in residential real estate and led over 15 agents, all by age 26 during the worst recession our generation had seen. This first business taught her the fundamental skill that would underpin all her future success: how to sell services to people who already want to buy them.
Her second business was a holistic nutrition practice where she built a thriving online practice that impacted the health of over 1,000 students in three years. As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and certified Life Coach, Nordling quickly applied her real estate sales expertise to her wellness practice, creating rapid success that caught the attention of her colleagues.
By 2019, after colleagues kept asking how she was getting clients so successfully, she closed her nutrition practice and launched The Profitable Nutritionist to focus full-time on business coaching for holistic nutritionists and health coaches. Since then, she has had the joy of coaching over a thousand wellness professionals on their entrepreneurial journeys.
The Revolutionary No-Social-Media Stance
What makes Andrea Nordling truly unique in the business coaching space is her bold, contrarian position on social media. Since 2021, she doesn’t scroll social media at all—no personal profiles, and she’s never even seen a reel. Her business has zero reliance on social media posts or marketing, with only minimal presence managed by her team solely for running ads.
After deleting all of her social media accounts in early 2021, her business grew faster than ever. This wasn’t just a personal experiment—it became the cornerstone of her teaching methodology. She recognized that many wellness practitioners feel hypocritical spending hours scrolling and “engaging” when it’s not bringing in clients and, deep down, they believe it’s unhealthy.
This anti-social-media approach resonates powerfully with her target audience: holistic nutritionists and health coaches who are exhausted from trying to keep up with ever-changing algorithms, feeling pressured to dance on camera, and sacrificing their own wellness for the sake of “content creation.”
Why Her Content Is Genuinely Helpful
Andrea Nordling’s teaching stands out in the crowded business coaching landscape for several compelling reasons:
1. Over 20 Years of Real Business Experience
With almost 20 years as a successful full-time entrepreneur across three different industries, Nordling brings battle-tested wisdom that goes far beyond theoretical knowledge. She’s not teaching from a single success story—she’s proven she can build profitable businesses in multiple sectors with different business models, different clients, and different specialties.
2. The Repeatable Revenue Process
Nordling has developed a proprietary Repeatable Revenue Process for building consistently profitable health and wellness practices online. This systematic approach gives practitioners a clear roadmap rather than leaving them to piece together conflicting advice from multiple sources. Her process focuses on evergreen marketing and sales strategies that don’t rely on viral moments or algorithmic luck.
3. Comprehensive Business + Mindset Coaching
Nordling teaches coaching resources, tools, and frameworks because anyone working with nutrition clients is also a coach, helping them through mental obstacles like procrastination, excuses, and self-doubt. She understands that technical nutrition knowledge alone doesn’t create business success—practitioners also need sales skills, marketing expertise, systems thinking, and the mindset to handle the emotional challenges of entrepreneurship.
In podcast episodes, Nordling coaches clients through subconscious triggers and limiting beliefs, helping them understand how their behaviors might be serving to keep them stuck rather than moving them forward. This deep psychological work separates her from surface-level business coaches who only focus on tactics.
4. Premium Pricing Philosophy
The Profitable Nutritionist program costs $3,000, and her Streamline + Scale Mastermind is a $10,000 offer with a 12-month commitment. Nordling openly discusses her own “mind drama” around premium pricing and teaches her clients to work through the same beliefs. She doesn’t apologize for charging what she’s worth instead, she teaches practitioners that premium pricing reflects the belief in their process, in themselves as resourceful and capable, and in their ability to deliver transformative results.
This philosophy helps wellness professionals escape the trap of racing to the bottom on price, which leads to burnout and unsustainable businesses.
5. Brutal Honesty Without Sugar-Coating
Student testimonials consistently praise Nordling for not sugar-coating the hard things. One client shared: “Andrea doesn’t sugar coat the hard things. If you want someone who shoots straight every time and says the hard things even when it’s the last thing you want to hear, I highly recommend Andrea’s TPN program”.
This directness, combined with genuine care for her students’ success, creates an environment where practitioners can confront their real obstacles rather than staying comfortable in denial.
6. Real Student Success Stories
Student Sadie Catania shared how she turned her entire nutritional therapy practice around after four years of being scared of success, with one student making $18,000 after a single mindset shift. These aren’t hypothetical case studies—they’re real practitioners building real businesses using Nordling’s methods.
7. Action-Oriented Content
Nordling describes her former struggle: taking all the online courses, watching YouTube videos, trying to piece together strategies from 10 different free webinars to make a profitable business, with nothing but great content no one saw to show for it. She teaches from this place of understanding, providing doable action plans rather than overwhelming theory.
Her Unique Edge in Content Creation
Andrea Nordling possesses several distinctive advantages that make her content uniquely valuable in the wellness business coaching space:
Cross-Industry Business Expertise
Unlike coaches who only know the wellness industry, Nordling’s success in real estate, nutrition practice, and business coaching demonstrates her ability to understand fundamental business principles that transcend any single industry. This cross-pollination of ideas allows her to bring strategies from other sectors that wellness professionals would never discover on their own.
The “Museum of Failures” Philosophy
Nordling openly shares her “Museum of Failures,” acknowledging that she has felt embarrassed, rejected, like an amateur, and unprepared many times—but didn’t die from those feelings. This vulnerability creates psychological safety for her students to take risks and fail forward, which is essential for entrepreneurial growth.
Simple 3-Step Process
Inside The Profitable Nutritionist flagship program, practitioners learn a simple 3-step process for growing a consistent and highly profitable wellness business, even if starting from scratch or having struggled to get clients in the past. This simplicity cuts through the noise and gives overwhelmed practitioners a clear path forward.
Organic Marketing Focus
Nordling teaches organic marketing, sales, delegation, and growth strategies to thousands of wellnesspreneurs through her podcast and coaching programs. Her emphasis on “organic” marketing means building genuine relationships and valuable content rather than paid advertising dependency or social media hamster wheels.
The Podcast as Primary Platform
The Profitable Nutritionist Podcast serves as Nordling’s primary content creation vehicle, allowing for deep-dive conversations, extended coaching demonstrations, and comprehensive teaching without the constraints of social media character limits or algorithmic suppression. The podcast provides weekly business and money mindset insights, coaching tools and resources, and step-by-step actions for attracting dream clients without trying another engagement strategy.
Streamline + Scale Methodology
Her Streamline + Scale Mastermind is an intimate coaching and mentorship container for ambitious, motivated practitioners to fast-track their goals and create sustainable multiple six-figure revenue in the next 12 months without working more hours. The emphasis on working smarter, not harder, directly addresses the burnout epidemic in the wellness industry.
Focus on Delegation and Systems
Nordling teaches that she has created a streamlined premium coaching program for her clients, loving the timeframe, her process, and that clients are loving their results. Her emphasis on systematization and delegation helps practitioners escape the trap of trading time for money and build businesses that can scale beyond their personal capacity.

These income figures represent employed positions independent practitioners using Nordling’s premium pricing strategies can potentially earn significantly more.
Rising Corporate Demand
Companies in the health coaching market are hiring expert health coaches for providing excellent consulting services to corporate consumers, with major corporations like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, and Deloitte employing professionals to offer counseling services to their employees. There’s a surging demand for health coaches within corporate wellness programs as companies increasingly recognize the value of a healthy workforce.
This corporate channel provides stable, high-value client opportunities that don’t require social media marketing.
Chronic Disease Prevention Driver
The prevalence of chronic diseases globally is a significant driver, as lifestyle-related health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases become more common and individuals seek professional guidance to manage their health effectively. The chronic disease prevention & management segment is estimated to grow at the fastest CAGR during 2025-2034.
This creates sustained, long-term demand that isn’t subject to fads or trends people will always need help managing chronic conditions through nutrition and lifestyle changes.
Technology Enabling Growth
The online mode of health coaching, especially in burgeoning economies like India and China, witnessed remarkable growth, with digital platforms offering personalized consultations, AI-driven health assessments, and virtual wellness plans. This technological infrastructure makes it easier than ever for practitioners to build location-independent, scalable businesses exactly what Nordling teaches.
Mental Health Integration
The mental wellbeing coaching segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR over the forecast period, with rising prevalence of depression and anxiety and growing awareness regarding mental health driving segment growth. The clear recognition of the intertwining of mental and physical health, underscored by the pandemic, bolstered demand for holistic wellness coaching.
This integration of mental and physical health aligns perfectly with the holistic approach Nordling’s students practice.
Pandemic Acceleration
The market is projected to reach $10.5 billion in 2024, with expectations of further growth as more people seek personalized health guidance due to heightened awareness from the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic created a permanent shift in health consciousness that continues to drive demand.
Career Stability and Satisfaction
LinkedIn identifies health coaching as one of the fastest-growing career paths, with hiring increasing by more than 50% since 2019. Health coaches work in a wide variety of settings, from private practice and wellness centers to hospitals, corporate wellness programs, and telehealth companies.
This diversity of work environments provides practitioners with options for building businesses that align with their lifestyle preferences whether that’s working from home, having flexible hours, or building a location-independent practice.
Addressing the Real Challenge
The data clearly shows enormous opportunity in the wellness coaching space so why do so many practitioners struggle? Nordling directly addresses this paradox: practitioners have the nutrition expertise but lack the business acumen to convert that knowledge into sustainable income.
She describes the common struggle: selling five different offers wondering why no one was signing up for the $19 “no brainer” membership, stumbling over words when family asked how the “nutrition thing” was going, and trying to piece together strategies from 10 different free webinars with nothing but great content nobody saw to show for it.
This is where Nordling’s teaching becomes transformative. She provides the missing piece: the business systems, marketing strategies, sales skills, and mindset coaching that turn talented nutritionists into profitable business owners.
The Perfect Storm: Market Opportunity Meets Expert Teaching
Andrea Nordling’s positioning is ideal for this moment in wellness entrepreneurship:
The Market Need: Billions of dollars flowing into wellness coaching, with consistent double-digit growth projections, rising chronic disease rates, corporate demand, and technology enabling scalable delivery.
The Practitioner Gap: Thousands of certified nutritionists and health coaches with excellent training in their craft but no understanding of how to build profitable businesses, leading to burnout, undercharging, and leaving the field.
Nordling’s Solution: Over 20 years of proven business-building expertise across multiple industries, teaching a simple, repeatable process for creating profitable wellness practices without social media dependence, backed by comprehensive mindset coaching and honest feedback.
The Contrarian Edge: While everyone else is telling wellness professionals they must master social media to succeed, Nordling proves the opposite building her fastest growth after deleting all social accounts and teaching practitioners to do the same.
The Three-Pronged Value Proposition
Andrea Nordling’s teaching delivers value on three critical levels:
1. Business Strategy
Clear systems for client acquisition, retention, pricing, packaging services, sales conversations, and scaling without working more hours. This is the tactical “how-to” that most nutrition certifications completely ignore.
2. Mindset Coaching
Deep work on limiting beliefs, impostor syndrome, fear of success, money mindset, and the psychological obstacles that sabotage business growth. This is the “inner game” that determines whether practitioners actually implement the strategies they learn.
3. Values Alignment
Permission to build a business that doesn’t require sacrificing personal health and sanity for success, that doesn’t depend on social media, and that charges premium prices for transformative results. This is the “permission slip” that allows practitioners to stop forcing themselves into business models that don’t align with their values.
Why This Matters Now More Than Ever
The modern world is seeing a rise in chronic diseases, with these conditions becoming the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, while medical interventions are often limited to managing symptoms rather than curing root causes. This creates an expanding need for the exact services that holistic nutritionists and health coaches provide addressing root causes through nutrition, lifestyle, and behavioral change.
Meanwhile, North America dominates the global health coach market with a 40.7% market share in 2025, with Americans increasingly focused on wellness and preventative healthcare approaches. Many large employers in the U.S. offer health coaching as an employee benefit to help control escalating healthcare costs, with financial incentives aligned to keep employees healthy and productive.
The infrastructure and cultural appetite for wellness coaching have never been stronger. What’s missing is practitioners who know how to capture this demand profitably which is exactly what Andrea Nordling teaches.
The Future Is Bright for Educated Wellness Entrepreneurs
The wellness coaching industry is at an inflection point. The market is massive and growing consistently. Consumer awareness and demand are at all-time highs. Technology enables scalable, location-independent delivery. Corporate and insurance sectors are embracing coaching as preventative care.
Yet many practitioners are struggling, undercharging, burning out, and leaving the field not because there isn’t demand, but because they lack the business skills to capture it.
Andrea Nordling bridges this gap with exceptional credibility. Her 20+ years of business success across multiple industries, her systematic approach to building profitable practices, her willingness to take contrarian stances like rejecting social media, and her deep mindset coaching create a comprehensive solution.
For wellness practitioners willing to invest in business education, implement proven systems, charge premium prices, and commit to their own growth, the opportunity is extraordinary. The market data supports it. The consumer demand exists. The income potential is real.
