From Surgeon to Entrepreneur: Dr. Sheri Poznanovic on Reinvention, Longevity & Taking Control of Your Health

What happens when the career you worked so hard to build comes to an unexpected end? For Dr. Sheri Poznanovic, it became the start of a whole new journey.

In this episode of the Mile High Success Podcast, host Nick Elder sits down with Dr. Sheri Poznanovic, founder and CEO of Optin Health and Nutrition in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

After nearly 15 years as a successful pediatric ear, nose, and throat surgeon, Sheri developed a hand tremor that forced her to leave the operating room. It was a hard change, but it also gave her the chance to find a new way to help people.

She went back to school, earned her master's degree in nutrition and human performance, and built a new medical practice focused on helping people take charge of their health before problems arise.

Nick and Sheri talk about what it takes to start over, build a business, and find success in a whole new way.

They also explore why good health starts with simple daily habits like better sleep, less stress, healthy eating, and strength training. Sheri shares her views on weight management, hormone therapy, peptides, and why she believes the future of medicine should focus more on prevention.

Sheri also opens up about the mentors who helped her take the leap into business ownership, the importance of family, and how her idea of success has changed over time.

Whether you're thinking about starting a business, making a career change, or simply looking for ways to live a healthier life, this conversation offers ideas you can put to work.
