In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Val Goldberg, a registered dietitian, founder, and CEO who has transformed her expertise into a nationally recognized healthcare brand.

Val is the founder of No Diet Dietitian, a clinic with over 50 registered dieticians serving thousands of clients across the U.S. through tele-health and in-person counseling. Built on the powerful message of no guilt, no shame, no diets, her practice is changing how people approach nutrition through sustainable, science-backed strategies that actually work.

Val opens up about her personal journey from struggling with weight and disordered eating to finding her calling in nutrition, working in hospitals, and eventually launching her own practice. She shares the pivotal “squirrel story” moment that shifted how she approached patients, the leap from clinician to entrepreneur, and the mindset that allowed her to lead a fast-growing organization.

She also reveals why she decided to embrace content creation as a CEO, the impact it’s already having on her business, and why she believes every founder needs to build a personal brand. From reaction content to evidence-based education, Val is redefining how health professionals use content to educate, inspire, and scale their impact.

This conversation is a masterclass in combining professional expertise with modern media to build trust, scale a mission, and become a voice of reason in a noisy online space.
