Before training as a health coach, I worked as a pharmacist for 30 years. I have a broad knowledge of various medical conditions, and I am particularly interested in metabolic health conditions (also known as metabolic syndrome).

However, my work as a Health Coach goes far beyond a professional interest. It’s also highly personal.

In 2023, I had a routine blood test and was found to have high cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

I was shocked because I had no symptoms, so the results were completely unexpected. Perhaps you can relate? 

I feared that I would be facing a slippery slope of medication and lifelong hospital visits, ultimately leading to a reduced lifespan.

I don’t want to admit the time I spent on ‘Dr Google’!

Even as a healthcare professional myself, I started to worry about the long term implications and what my life was going to look like in the future with these results in my hand. 

Before resorting to medication, I decided to try to change my diet, increase my exercise levels, and improve other aspects of my lifestyle to see if it made a difference. 

Not only did my health improve thanks to the changes I made, but I also felt much more vibrant overall.

I felt healthier, more energised, and better than I had in years.

Fast forward to 2024.

I returned to my doctor and my blood tests showed normal levels for diabetes, cholesterol, and kidney function. All without any medication! 

My GP was amazed and to say I was happy was an understatement; it made me realise how powerful lifestyle changes can be for one's health and at the age of 54 I felt great

I want to be able to empower you to make changes to your lifestyle and improve your health as well, showing you how simple and sustainable it can be with the right knowledge and support. 

It breaks my heart to think of people like you in a similar situation to the one I found myself in, with an unexpected diagnosis of these sorts of conditions, but not knowing what to do next. 

I hate to think you have no-one to turn to, you don’t know what advice to take (because it all seems so conflicting when you start to look) and your worry and anxiety are starting to spiral. 

By making changes to your nutrition and lifestyle, you don’t have to resign yourself to a life on multiple medications, as I feared I would too. 

With my help and support, I want you to know it’s possible to remove the cloud of worry and have a really significant impact on these conditions.
