We Help The Best,
Help The Most.
Healthpreneur® exists to help exceptional health professionals build exceptional businesses so their expertise can reach and impact more people.
We believe the people doing the best work in health should have the businesses, platforms, and influence to match.
That's what we're here to build.
OUR MISSION
To Help Transform the Health and Lives of 1 BILLION People.
We know we can’t do that ourselves.
But by helping exceptional health practitioners build better businesses that reach and impact more people, we can create change at a scale none of us could achieve alone.
There are brilliant doctors, dentists, practitioners, and health entrepreneurs around the world who already know how to change people's lives.
Our job is to help more people find them.
To help them build businesses capable of reaching more people.
To help them turn what they know into something bigger than what they can accomplish alone.
Because when one exceptional practitioner builds a better business, the impact doesn't stop with them.
It reaches and transforms more people.
WHO WE’RE HERE FOR
Built For Health Professionals Who Know They're Meant For More
Healthpreneur® isn't for the practitioner who's content simply running a comfortable practice.
We work exclusively with ambitious health professionals who have already accomplished something meaningful and know they're capable of more.
You’ve spent years mastering your craft and even longer proving yourself in the trenches of your practice.
Yet you probably still feel overworked, underpaid, and probably like the “best-kept secret” in your field.
If that sounds familiar, you probably want to:
- Become the recognized leader in your field
- Generate more qualified patients
- Grow your revenue and profit
- Build a more valuable business that gives you more options for the future
- Build a stronger business that doesn't depend on you
- Share your expertise with more people
- Create more freedom in your life
Not because what you’ve built isn't good enough.
But because you know your expertise can do more.
Our clients include doctors, dentists, chiropractors, physical therapists, functional and integrative practitioners, therapists, and other health business owners.
Some run brick & mortar clinics.
Some run virtual, telehealth, or online coaching businesses.
The business model isn't what unites them.
Their expertise and ambition do.
We exist to bridge the gap between their expertise and the people who need it most.
We Know The Business of Health
My name is Yuri Elkaim. I’m the CEO and Founder of Healthpreneur®.
I didn’t start this business because healthcare looked like an interesting market to serve.
I came from health.
I started as a health practitioner and spent more than 20 years building, scaling, and eventually selling my own health business.
When I founded Healthpreneur® in 2017, I brought those lessons with me.
Since then, we've worked with more than 1,800 health professionals across virtually every type of health business.
Doctors. Dentists. Chiropractors. Physical therapists. Functional and integrative practitioners.
Therapists. Coaches. Clinic owners. Online health entrepreneurs.
That depth of experience matters.
We've seen what works.
We've seen what doesn't.
We've seen what breaks as businesses grow.
And we've spent years developing the strategies, systems, and principles specifically for health professionals who want to become better entrepreneurs and build better businesses.
Health isn't a market we decided to serve.
It's the only market we've ever served.
How It All Started
After losing my hair to an autoimmune condition at 17 years old, you could say I was propelled into the world of health.
Years later, I graduated from university as a kinesiologist and nutritionist before pursuing my lifelong dream of playing professional soccer in Europe.
When I returned home to Toronto, I started working with clients on their health.
And I quickly discovered something most practitioners eventually learn:
Being great at helping people and building a great business are two completely different skills.
I worked 12-to-14-hour days.
One client after another.
I was overworked, underpaid, and completely dependent on my own time to make money.
Eventually, I realized:
I hadn't built a business. I'd built myself a job.
So in 2006, I started taking my expertise online with the hope of impacting more lives and creating a better living for myself.
I spent the next several years learning everything my health education hadn't taught me about business.
Marketing. Sales. Leadership. Systems. Hiring. Leverage.
Eventually, I built that business to multiple eight figures while helping more than 500,000 people improve their health.
I grew my YouTube channel to more than 300,000 subscribers and 43 million views.
I wrote three bestselling books, including a #2 New York Times bestseller, and appeared on shows like Dr. Oz and The Doctors.
But the biggest lesson wasn't any of those accomplishments.
It was realizing how much further my expertise could travel once I learned how to build a business around it.
In 2017, I sold that health business.
Around the same time, more and more health professionals started coming to me for business advice.
And I kept seeing versions of the same person I had been a decade earlier.
Brilliant practitioners.
Life-changing expertise.
Years spent mastering their craft.
But almost no training in how to build a great business around it.
They knew how to help people.
They just hadn't been taught how to build the business that would allow them to help more of them.
That's why I started Healthpreneur®.
Great Practitioners Don't Automatically Build Great Businesses
Since 2017, we've worked with more than 1,800 health professionals.
Different specialties.
Different businesses.
Different stages of growth.
But the bigger idea has never changed.
The world doesn't need more mediocre health information.
It needs the people who actually know what they're talking about to become better known.
It needs great practitioners to become great entrepreneurs.
And it needs those entrepreneurs to build businesses capable of spreading their expertise far beyond what they could ever accomplish alone.
That's why Healthpreneur® exists.
And these core values define how we show up every day to achieve it.
Our Core Values
Speed Is King
Getting things done quickly is more important than doing them perfectly. By moving quickly, we expedite our learning and fast track our success.
Owner-Like Commitment
We are dedicated to doing great work and going above and beyond because the business' success (and that of our clients) is our success.
Driven To Grow
We are voracious learners and we love a good challenge because it brings out our innate desire to grow and become our best.
What We Believe
01
The Best-Known Expert Wins
It doesn’t matter how good you are if no one knows who you are.
Too many brilliant practitioners remain the best-kept secret while less-qualified competitors get the attention.
Your expertise can only create impact when people know it exists, and that requires making marketing a priority.
You can’t help people who don’t know you exist.
02
Profit Fuels Impact
We believe exceptional health professionals should be exceptionally well compensated for the value they create.
Profit allows you to hire better people. Build better systems. Reach more patients. Go after bigger opportunities. And make a bigger contribution.
Money isn't the mission. It's fuel for the mission.
03
If It's Not Scalable, It's Not Sustainable
If the business only works because you do, eventually you become its biggest constraint.
Your time, energy, and calendar all have a ceiling.
Build the systems, people, and assets that allow your business to grow without requiring more of you.
Because the more your business depends on you, the faster success turns into burnout.
04
Simplicity Scales. Complexity Fails.
More isn't always better. More offers, more people, and more marketing channels often create more problems than progress.
Your business will naturally become more complex as it grows. Don't add complexity before you need it.
Great practice owners identify what matters most, eliminate what doesn't, and relentlessly improve the few things that move the business forward.
Businesses rarely die from starvation. They die from bloating. Do less, better.
05
Be Willing to Pay the Price for the Prize You're After
Everyone wants the prize. Very few are willing to pay the price.
You can't expect to 2-3X your business while refusing to change how you operate, invest in marketing, hire better people, or do things that make you uncomfortable.
Bigger goals require bigger commitments.
06
You Are Responsible For Your Business
Nobody is coming to save you.
Not the economy. Not your team. Not a marketing agency. And not some lucky break you've been waiting for.
Successful entrepreneurs take ownership, ask better questions, make better decisions, develop the skills they're missing, and find the right people to help.
Great leaders look in the mirror before they point fingers.
07
The Letters Behind Your Name Don't Entitle You To A Successful Business
You can be an exceptional doctor, dentist, or health practitioner and still struggle in business.
Being great at what you do and being great at building a business are two completely different skill sets.
Your education taught you how to help people. It probably didn't teach you how to market, sell, hire, lead, build systems, or manage money.
Your credentials made you a great practitioner. Becoming a great entrepreneur is up to you.
08
You Can't Build Something Great Alone
Eventually, trying to do everything yourself becomes the very thing preventing you from growing.
Great entrepreneurs don't have all the answers. They surround themselves with exceptional people who help them find better answers faster.
Big ambitions require great people.
Great Practitioner.
Great Business.
You spent years becoming exceptional at what you do.
Now become just as exceptional at building the business around it.
Because the better the entrepreneur you become, the further your expertise can travel and the greater your impact can become.
That's what being a Healthpreneur® means.
Be great at what you do.
Become great at business.
Use both to create more profit, freedom, and impact.
