Frequently asked questions
Programme FAQ's
- 01A structured coaching programme designed to help you lose weight, improve metabolic health, and build sustainable habits through nutrition, movement, sleep, and accountability.
- 02Adults who want to lose weight, improve energy, reduce cravings, or take control of their health without following restrictive diets.
- 03The focus is on creating habits, and emparting a knowledge of nutrition, so that you can maintain and sustain the principles for life. You'll learn how to eat to satisfaction while improving your health.
- 04Many people experience improvements in blood glucose and insulin sensitivity through weight loss and dietary changes. If you have diabetes, you should work with your healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes.
- 05It's well-suited to most healthy adults. Some situations need a doctor's input first — including type 1 diabetes, certain medications, pregnancy, or a history of an eating disorder. If in doubt, check with your doctor before starting.
- 06At the start and end of the programme, you'll complete a Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) questionnaire and take part in a short interview. These assessments help us measure changes beyond weight alone, including your physical health, energy levels, confidence, mental wellbeing, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. With your informed consent, your anonymised data may also contribute to ongoing scientific research into lifestyle interventions and metabolic health. This allows your experience to help improve future programmes and advance the evidence for effective, sustainable health interventions.
- 07The course is designed to collect data from you, provide education about nutrition and metabolism as well as support you with your goals with daily check-ins to support long-term behaviour change. Beyond just a list, you'll gain knowledge, goals, and a community.
- 08Nutritional ketosis is a powerful metabolic state in which your body primarily burns fat and ketones rather than glucose for fuel, which occurs when dietary carbohydrate intake is reduced (not eliminated) below your personal threshold of carbohydrate tolerance. Once ketosis is achieved and maintained, the metabolic benefits are bountiful: safe and effective weight loss (Sachner-Bernstein 2015), reduced hunger and cravings (Boden 2005), decreased inflammation (Forsythe 2008), lower and more stable blood sugar (thus, reversal of Type 2 diabetes) (McKenzie 2017; Hallberg 2018), and beyond.The length of time it takes a person to adapt to nutritional ketosis varies from one individual to the next, as each person has a unique biochemistry and varying degrees of metabolic damage needing repair. With very rare exceptions (Corti 2008), it is possible for everyone to enter nutritional ketosis. In fact, all of us are exposed to nutritional ketosis as newborn infants if we are exclusively breastfed (Cahill 2006).
Education is the foundation for achieving lasting, sustainable change.
The goal is to empower individuals to enhance their quality of life through evidence-based knowledge and the practical application of nutrition and exercise science.
