  #108: Margaret Floyd Barry - The Hidden Cost of Undercharging in Functional Nutrition

  Aug 18, 202623 min

  Most practitioners don't think of pricing as a clinical issue. Margaret Floyd Barry disagrees. In this solocast episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret makes the case that what you charge shapes what you're actually able to deliver, and that money discomfort in this field is close to an industry norm, not a personal quirk. She shares two stories from her own practice and closes with three concrete steps for evaluating your pricing this week.

  #107: Empowering Clients to Become Their Own Hero: Mindset Shifts in Functional Health Practice with Ishbel Cavaleri

  Aug 10, 20261h 12m

  What if the biggest thing standing between your client and better health isn't the protocol, but what they believe about themselves? In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry is joined by IRH staff member Ishbel Cavaleri to explore the pivotal role of mindset and self-belief in achieving lasting health transformations. We'll explore why simply providing protocols isn't enough, how to help clients become the heroes of their own stories, strategies to support change when it feels overwhelming, and ways practitioners can avoid common mistakes like taking setbacks personally or moving into "fix-it" mode. This episode is packed with practical tools and powerful reframes for clinicians and anyone striving to make sustainable health changes. Inside this episode, we explore: Why client agency, not practitioner perfection, drives lasting change How to uncover a client's deeper "North Star" beyond symptom relief Why tracking progress helps clients build evidence that change is working How temporal discounting can derail even highly motivated clients Why setbacks should be expected and normalized, not treated as failure How identity and self-talk shape a client's ability to follow through on a protocol The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by the Institute of Restorative Health: https://instituteofrestorativehealth.com/ Connect with IRH: Upcoming Event: PCOS has a new official name: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The science isn't new. Functional practitioners have understood the metabolic and hormonal complexity of these cases for years. The name just finally says so. On August 12th, Margaret Floyd Barry and Sara Fields are hosting a free live session on what this means for your practice. What shifts in how you assess and talk with female clients. What stays the same. Live Q&A at the end. Free. 60 minutes. Register here!
