Being a certified Metabolic Balance Consultant means a lot to Manju Mohan. But today social media is flooded with misleading tips which promise good health. We got a chance to interact with the founder of Zinglife once again. Let us first begin asking her anything new happened since her last interview.
Any updates on your ayurveda course?
I have successfully been able to combine the techniques of Ayurveda with modern nutrition in the form of detox drinks for my clients. Detox drinks have been very popular in ayurveda, though most people believe that the medicines were in herbs and powder form.
Detox drinks are customised as per body type and need. They are herbal in nature and boost immunity greatly. Ayurveda has both healing and curing properties. These drinks are recommended first thing in the morning for optimal effect. They are also great for weight management.
If you are talking about detox drinks, there are already so many reels about those!
Yes, Social media is flooded with info on health and wellness. It is easy and free to follow the accounts which give out such information. But the reality is that they are influencers more than health professionals. We are committed to clients till the job is done. It is our duty to understand the client and solve their problems. Consulting from the internet is more of a one way conversation where you cannot ask questions.
It is a lot easier to just pick up the phone and search over Google. It gives answers to everything you want to know. But at the same time we appreciate serious clients who come to us with an intention of paying us for the efforts which we are going to put in.
The other challenge for us is how to change the habits of clients. Metabolic Balance restoration is mostly a change of habit. My main concern is that people tend to go back to their old habits. Usually the make or break period is two months.
So competing with influencers is difficult?
I would say it is more of a challenge. Being a health professional, I need to have a steady inflow of clients to sustain my brand. That is what worried me the most but that was in the past. These days I am attending a 90 day training program by JiSOT for women entrepreneurs. They told me an interesting concept. Do not wait for or run after clients. Instead spend time in developing your skills, personality and knowledge. All these will give you more confidence. So here is the secret of being a successful entrepreneur. Confidence is the one quality which will get you more clients.
