I’ve struggled with my weight for almost two decades, trying every diet and fitness plan imaginable. I lost weight, gained it back and more and eventually decided enough was enough. Managing significant weight gain and understanding the disease of obesity finally brought me to a place where I could finally grasp that it was not about eating less and moving more.

I hit my highest weight of 155kg (240lbs/24.5 stone) in 2022. I was suffering from sleep apnoea, hypertension, high cholesterol, joint/back pain, depression and anxiety. Enough was enough. I was prescribed Ozempic which led to approx 12% body fat loss, and then in discussion with my medical team, we agreed that bariatric surgery was the logical next step to achieve the sort of weight loss that I needed.

I had a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in Jan 2024 and through the success of this procedure, combined with significant lifestyle change, strength training, supplementation and nutrition, I have lost a total of 60kg (132lbs/9.4 stone). I have reversed hypertension, sleep apnoea and high cholesterol and am fitter than I have been since my late teens/early twenties.

My mission is to help other people thinking about Bariatric surgery, post-surgery or using medical interventions such as prescribed medication. I do this through offering personalised nutrition, exercise, strength and health plans that complement their medical journey and help them to maximise their results.
