So as the weeks and months of study continued (and these haven’t stopped to this day), I first turned my own life around with regard to nutrition, and then started to tackle this issue with all of my clients. I stopped referring my clients out to nutritionists rather mentoring them in-house as part of their overall health transformation. I already hear you asking why? Two reasons –  whilst many clients achieved their initial weight loss goals, they were not provided with the tools in order to maintain their new and healthy regime in a lasting and manageable way. Secondly, the nutritionists following current government guidelines (based on the poorly conducted research noted earlier) were not dealing with the root cause of the problem. I was determined that most important thing for me to focus on with my clients was a ‘human reset’ of sorts. My recognition of how disconnected we have become from our ancestral roots as humans started years before when I understood that typical gym classes and workout programs were failing people, and this still holds true. But the biggest threat to our health and also the most important medicine for maintain good health is in fact the same thing – our nutrition and what we eat.

For myself, I achieved better focus, better sleep, fewer fluctuations in energy, a clean set of blood results and total control over what and when I eat. For my clients, successes have included all of the above plus unimaginable returns to a healthy controllable weight, being able to come off ‘life long’ medication for high blood pressure, a reduction in use or total cessation of antidepressants or other ‘psych meds’, huge boosts in productivity at work and at home, and overall an all-round uplift in self confidence – not only for looking better, but for knowing that the tools and mindfulness gained on the path to these achievements can be transferred and applied to many other aspects of life.
