How to Position Yourself as an Expert in the Crowded Health Space

Know What You Stand For
If you’re a health coach or wellness entrepreneur, you’ve probably seen how crowded the space is.
But that’s not a problem—if you’re clear on your positioning.
The first step is to define your niche.
That includes:
- Who you serve
- What problem you solve
- What unique method or philosophy you bring
For example, instead of saying “I help people lose weight,” try:
“I help busy moms regain energy and lose weight through simple, hormone-friendly meal plans.”
That clarity is magnetic. People trust experts who know exactly what they do.
Create a Signature Message
A clear message makes you memorable.
You should be able to answer:
- What’s the core transformation I offer?
- Why should someone choose me over others?
- What values guide my approach?
Craft one sentence that sums up your offer. Repeat it in your bio, video intros, and social media.
Example:
“I help women heal their relationship with food so they can stop dieting for good.”
This message should show up everywhere—your website, Instagram, email list, and when you introduce yourself on podcasts.
Teach, Don’t Just Sell
People follow and hire experts who teach with clarity.
So instead of only promoting your offers, share value regularly.
- Break down complex topics into simple tips
- Answer common questions you hear from clients
- Share short, educational videos or live Q&A sessions
- Use storytelling to show the before-and-after of client results

Speak With Authority on Camera
How you speak on camera matters just as much as what you say.
Confidence builds trust.
Eye contact builds connection.
Clarity builds conversions.
If you feel nervous, remember—this is a skill you can build.
Resources like Gain Camera Confidence and the Crush It On Camera Mastery course are designed to help you show up with more presence, poise, and personality.
Build Credibility with Social Proof
Your audience may hear your story once, but they’ll remember your results forever.
Share real wins and feedback from those you’ve helped.
- Add testimonials to your website
- Post before/after client stories
- Mention who you’ve worked with (if allowed)
- Highlight podcast appearances or event speaking gigs
If you’ve been featured on Dr Sas’s Mastery Podcast or others, make sure that’s on your homepage or LinkedIn.
Make Thought Leadership a Routine
Thought leadership is simply sharing what you know, consistently.
That might look like:
- Weekly tips on Instagram or LinkedIn
- A monthly email newsletter
- A podcast or YouTube series
- Hosting a masterclass or group Q&A
The more visible and helpful you are, the more people will see you as the go-to person.
Don’t Try to Sound Like Everyone Else
Experts sound like themselves.
Don’t copy language from other coaches.
Don’t force big words or jargon.
Speak how you naturally speak—especially on video.
If your tone is calm, lean into that.
If you’re energetic, bring that to your content.
Authenticity attracts the right clients.
