“Mid-fifties, overweight and occasionally lethargic, I actually felt ok and had no health concerns until a routine health check with my GP uncovered high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
I knew I had to change my mindset and have a much better relationship with food, drink and fitness.
Leah helped me to establish a range of personal goals for blood glucose control, cholesterol and blood pressure, to balance my energy levels and reduce body weight; and more importantly gave me the information and advice to achieve these goals.
Overnight, I changed my eating and fitness habits. Simple first steps such as increasing protein, plant based foods and fibre, taking the right supplements and drinking less alcohol, alongside regular exercising within my own comfort zone.
In just 7 weeks I lost around a stone in weight and 4 inches off my waist. My blood sugar level went from an HbA1c of 56 to 48, my blood pressure reduced significantly and my cholesterol level is lower.
I feel more energised than ever. For me this is just the beginning, I’m not on a short-term programme simply to be healthier, this is an important change in mindset and a new long-term lifestyle”

“I was training in the gym and running up to 10km every week, but felt like I was getting nowhere. I decided to seek help and sort my nutrition once and for all.
I couldn’t be more grateful for the four main outcomes I’ve come away with:
1. I changed my objective; I had been striving to have a perfect body for years, not realising that at that particular stage of my life it would have been very difficult or even unhealthy for me to sustain such a goal. Once I changed that, I became a way stronger and healthier version of myself, able to sustain my current physique without much effort or stress.
2. I finally got answers to a lot of controversial questions which the Internet is full of. I would show up with a bunch of them to each session and get a brilliant scientific based response!
3. Leah taught me the power of self-reflection which I use whenever I want to take on a new habit or experiment with my routine.
4. she was there when I needed to be heard. Apart from regular sessions, I had check-in calls and emails with Leah too, which then resulted in wonderful progress.
Thank you so much x”

“I’m shocked at how well I’ve stuck to healthier eating. Much more mindful, and I’ve enjoyed trying different things. I’m in it for the long hall as I know it’s not a quick fix - it’s a lifestyle change for the better.
I’ve lost 5lb since we spoke. Weight loss has stalled in the last few days but before, I’d get a bee in my bonnet and reach for chocolate with the attitude ‘well this was a waste of time’, but this time I’ve not done that and for me that’s fab.
Look forward to my next session!”

“As a senior executive in local government, the health and wellbeing of my colleagues is really important to me so we asked Leah to run a workshop session on nutrition.
This subsequently led to a series of 121 sessions being offered as part of our training and development programme and Leah helped individuals in our organisation with goals such as eating more healthily, weight loss, and nutrition for exercise.
Through Leah’s workshop I recognised I needed to change my own mindset and have a much better relationship with food and lifestyle, which she has helped me to do, giving me the information and advice I needed.
Not only has this improved my own health, but also the health my team, too.”
