In this episode of The Growth Show, host Whitney Bateson sits down with Krista Kolodziejzyk, founder of The Dietitian Success Center (DSC), to explore what it takes to launch, grow, and sustain a thriving membership site. Krista—who brings both an MBA and MPH to her role as a registered dietitian and entrepreneur—shares her journey of building DSC into a go-to resource hub for dietitians.

You’ll hear how she created a scalable platform packed with valuable tools like client handouts, evidence summaries, reference guides, and video courses, all designed to support dietitians in clinical practice.
