I have managed to carry on with most of what we put in place all those years ago and am feeling good about life generally. Creating time for myself as a working mum is really important and I think I'm finding a good balance

On life Coaching...
I'm now fully qualified as health and performance coach. I've been practicing in a sport centre for the past 4 months. However I'm planning on setting up my own company as I'm ready for it. I've really changed my outlook on life and can see possibilities everywhere. It is thanks to you as you pushed my ignition button in 2004 (so long ago!).

"On reaching the ripe old age of 30 I realised that it was time for me to understand myself and my body better….and my journey began with Kate as my guide. Kate took the time and patience to work with me, tailoring a programme to suit my personal needs. The step by step plan helped me to make small changes giving my body and mind a chance to acclimatize. At each stage Kate’s approach made it exciting and easy to achieve making it a great experience rather than a chore. Kate’s energy for life and practical approach gave me the space in which to explore new ideas and as she says…go well. Well, I feel incredibly positive about food and am enjoying myself much more because of Kate’s coaching and inspiration......thank you Kate."

I went to see Kate suspecting that I had a hormone imbalance and possibly PCOS and feeling totally frustrated by the lack of diagnosis and treatment provided by my G.P. Refreshingly, Kate's proactive approach was the complete opposite. Several diagnostic tests confirmed my suspicions and Kate explored all aspects of my lifestyle and suggested changes to my diet, supplements, acupuncture, herbal medicine and exercise to treat my symptoms. All of Kate's advice was logical, easy to implement and most importantly dealt with the root cause of my ill health.
After 6 months the results have been fantastic, I now feel fit and healthy again. Kate has been hugely positive and supportive throughout and I would recommend The Nutrition Coach to anyone, particularly those who feel that the 'traditional' medical system is failing them, in fact I already have!
Kate, thank you!
Jane Sutherland, London
"I first went to Kate as a nutritionist; I really liked her energy and pragmatic approach and saw excellent results from her suggestions on food, so when I heard that she did life coaching I decided to give it a go. Although my life was good in many ways, I had a sense that certain areas and patterns were holding me back from having a great life. Kate helped me to identify these and to work on them by reframing my attitudes and beliefs and taking appropriate action. I have created a routine that supports me to get things done and look after myself—and unlike what I've tried in the past I actually stick to it. My well being, my state of mind at home and the health of my finances have improved dramatically."

Kate,
I wanted to thank you for your guidance.
It seems too simple to be true but since avoiding certain foods that you suggested and taking the supplements that you advised my arthritis has receeded, I am walking normally again and I cancelled my appointment with the 'knee man'.
I think at least three people that I know will be contacting you.
Its been a pleasure to meet you and I'll see you in Jan.

Dear Kate,
It‘s said that the proof of the pudding is in the eating – and in my case it’s absolutely true.
From being a cuddly child, thanks mainly to my well-meaning parents who insisted I eat everything on my over-filled plate, I have been on diets most of my life. Also, due to my hectic life-style stress was taking its toll. Now at long last thanks to the advice in your excellent book ‘Whole health: Inspirational ideas for mind and body well-being’, and in particular to the personal coaching sessions, I am no longer dieting, or stressed – and I feel great.
Why the change? Your wonderful down-to-earth approach to explaining and encouraging me to eat healthily, and adopt a different attitude to food fitness and health, is so compelling that I felt honour-bound to at least try it – and the plain-simple truth is it works. There are no reprimands for the odd lapse but an understanding that we are all human – it happens. As a result of your excellent advice and support I now find that I am less likely to stray from the path of healthy eating; because I’ve discovered that I truly enjoy it, and the benefits it brings.
I have always felt that being over-weight, stressed, and less fit than was good for me, was a mental mind-set that I just had to live with. You showed me it didn’t have to be that way ever again.
Kate - my sincere thanks.
Ain’t Life Fantastic!

“I went to see Kim after suffering from skin problems for ten years. I was also prone to depression and lethargy. I had tried many different things to alleviate the skin problems: herbs, homeopathy, the pill, vitamin A. The doctor had just prescribed me antibiotics but I felt reluctant to try these. Kim recommended a shift in my dietary habits and some vitamin supplements. I had been vegetarian for 10 years and my symptoms may have been a sign that I was not getting enough of certain nutrients.
Within a month or so I began to notice less angry outbreaks on my skin. My hormones seemed to be balancing themselves with the assistance of the supplements that Kim had recommended. I was pleased to go back to the doctor with my improved condition which didn't depend on antibiotics or artificial chemicals. I am now able to regulate my blood sugar levels better through balanced meals ensuring more protein, I am more attuned to natural fluxes in my energy levels and my depression is much more manageable. Through Kim's down to earth and friendly approach I quickly developed trust in her advice. Her continued support has also been really helpful - I highly recommend her!”
Ruth, London
I came to see Kate about a year ago, as I was experiencing severe bloating and cramps - which never appeared to be triggered by anything in particular - as well as occasional acne outbreaks on my face, a condition that I had never previously encountered. After a couple of consultations, where I was told to try a wheat and dairy-free diet, Kate suggested I have my gut parasitology and .. test. When the results came back, it turned out I had a rare form of candida yeast in my stomach, which would explain not only my digestive discomfort, but also my skin problems and difficulty in losing weight. Kate immediately recommended a course of supplements, including probiotics to rebuild the good bacteria in my stomach, from which I saw immediate benefits.
Due to work commitments, I was unable to see Kate for a few months after my last visit, which made it difficult to keep up with my programme. Once I returned to her, however, I got back on form, taking the supplements and observing my dietary programme. Thanks to Kate, even if I have a 'bad day', I now know exactly what to do for damage limitation and how to keep my digestive issues at bay. Seeing Kate has provided an enormous sense of relief as she has explained how all the issues I was experiencing were all tied up together and were, more importantly, relatively easy to overcome with a little willpower! It never fails to amaze me just how much a seemingly small problem can affect so many different areas, and that once the 'small' issue has been addressed, everything else falls in to place. For making me appreocate this, I am very thankful to the Nutrition Coach.

Thanks for all your advice and positive encouragement, it has helped me make a decision which will have a significant positive impact on my life.

"Within six weeks of starting the nutrition plan and supplements, which Kim advised, I began to notice an improvement in my general well-being as well as increased energy levels. My skin has noticeably improved, my PMS symptoms such as water-retention are much less severe, and I have lost weight."
"Kim's consultations have been very thorough and professional, covering every aspect of lifestyle, diet and health history. Kim supplied me with a well laid-out plan and a wealth of information to ensure I had all the information I needed to follow the plan. She also drew up meal suggestions based on her recommendations and my likes and dislikes, which took into account lifestyle issues such as lack of time to cook lengthy meals and social occasions. Her follow up sessions were very useful and helpful, she ensured motivation was kept high and gave me new incentives and goals to keep improving. I highly recommend Kim as a nutritional therapist."
Alex, London
"Before I started seeing Kim, I was suffering from tiredness and panic attacks. Within about six to eight weeks of following Kim's advice, I began to have a lot more energy and the panic attacks became less frequent. Kim has been very supportive and understanding throughout and has provided realistic diet and lifestyle advice that has been easy for me to maintain. My husband and I were also trying for a baby at the time, and after a few months of following the nutrition programme I became pregnant and we now have a very healthy baby girl. Kim also advised my husband on diet and supplements while we were trying to conceive, and provided me with information on how to remain healthy throughout my pregnancy and following the birth."
Jane, London
"I went to see Kim as I was suffering from IBS and lots of bloating. Kim immediately put me at ease with her relaxed but professional approach, and I felt that she wouldn't ask me to make any changes I couldn't maintain. Within just a few weeks of following her dietary recommendations I felt so much better with much more energy. I now rarely feel bloated, and my IBS symptoms have greatly improved and continue to improve. I have also lost weight which is a bonus. I can't imagine going back to my old ways of eating now."
Sophie, London
"I used to suffer from regular headaches, severe PMS and my blood sugar levels were out of control causing terrible mood swings. But once I started working with Kim I noticed an almost immediate improvement in my health. My energy levels soared and the PMS became much more bearable. After a while my mood swings became a thing of the past and I honestly can't remember the last time I had a headache. As an additional bonus my diet is now much more varied than before thanks to Kim's great menu suggestions. Kim's friendly approach and highly personalised and practical advice made the plan easy to follow and adapt to my everyday life. I can't thank Kim enough for her help and support."
Pia, London
I started seeing Kate Cook in 2004, suffering from digestive disturbances, stomach cramps and general discomfort after eating. Through testing, she was able to diagnose a gut parasite - blastocystis hominis, along with bacterial inbalances which were causing the symptoms. As I was on the verge of taking herbal treatments to treat the parasite, I discovered that I was pregnant with my first child, and was unable to take the tablets prescribed. A year later my father died, and I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disorder and hypothyroid, which Kate (I believe rightly) thought to be caused by stress. She prescribed me supplements to boost my adrenal system, and my thyroid disorder has been normal for over one year now. I took supplements to rid the parasite and correct the bacterial imbalances in my gut during 2005 (once I had stopped breastfeeding my daughter).
I was feeling a lot better, and on the verge of taking a course of antibiotics in the hope of 'finishing the parasite off', when I became pregnant again and all bets were off! My son was born last October, and I recently took the antibiotic course to finish the attack on the parasite. I now feel almost completely well. I suffer only very occasionally with digestive disturbances, and these can usually be controlled through diet (less sugar). I have now reached a stage where I do not want to test for parasites again - I may or may not have them, but am happy that I have done all I can to rid them, and want to think positively about having a healthy intestinal system again. Kate was a great help in identifying the problem and helping me to manage it, working around two pregnancies as well. I am really grateful to her for helping me to overcome something which was a big and nasty part of my life, making it manageable and allowing me to get on with the important job of raising my two children!

I started seeing Sanna from the Nutrition Coach to see how I could use my diet to overcome the mid-afternoon exhaustion I was often experiencing. Prior to seeing her I was suffering from severe lack of energy, mood swings and uncontrollable needs for coffee and chocolate particularly around the 3/4pm on week days.
The first hour I spent with Sanna analysing my diet and requirements was amazingly useful. Everything she said just made so much sense. Finally I understood the impact you can have on your body by eating sensibly. Once aware of the types of food I should be focusing on and, critically, how easy it is to incorporate them into my diet, my new eating habits have made an enormous impact on my health and energy levels. I feel more productive at work - particularly in the afternoons, am exercising as much as possible and enjoying it, and feel far more in control of my emotions.
Having worked in the City, Sanna's suggestions are practical and easy to implement. She knows what is available and is realistic about what can be brought in from home so I am never stuck for options of healthy lunches. The support Sanna provides via handouts, recipes, follow up sessions and emails is very thorough and enormously helpful.
Kate, Business Manager
Dear Kate
Diet and exercise is going really well. I managed 20 miles on Sunday and 20 lengths of the pool this morning. Less than 2 weeks to go until the Moonwalk - don't know whether to feel terrified or excited.
I wish that I had taken a photo when I first came to see you - I've just worked out that I have lost 3 stone overall and feel great.
Regards
Anita Kinsey, London
For years I have been suffering from polycystic ovaries syndrome and have struggled with my weight. I have tried so many low-fat and detox diets but none of them really worked due to the lack of motivation and I was totally depressed.
Recently I discovered that I also suffer from high blood pressure and high cholesterol. That really shocked me and I got even more depressed.
My family in Japan are quite healthy. I felt as if my life was ending and was so ashamed of myself.
One day a friend of mine told me about Nutritional Therapy. Her skin looked radiant and she lost some weight as well. I decided to give a try and found Kate, my nutrition coach, on the internet.
Before the first session, I was worried Kate would just weigh me, tell me what to eat and ask me to keep strict food diary for her to check . but it wasn't like that at all.
Her advice is so simple and practical that I manage to keep to it easily. What's amazing is that I never go hungry with her plans. Only after a month of following her suggestions, I already feel and see the benefits, for example, I sleep better, my skin is much smoother and I feel lighter!
Kate has given me not only nutritional education but also fantastic emotional support. Every time I see
her, I feel encouraged and finally I began to believe in myself that I can achieve my goals.
Thank you Kate!

I cannot recommend the Nutrition Coach enough..... the advice I got was the best I'd had since I started this journey of improving my health through diet.
I'd read a few books in the past and had tried to achieve a sense of optimal health, DIY style, but as is always the case, i'd neither had the motivation or all the necessary information/facts to hand. In particular, I believed that by changing my diet, specifically to a low-wheat and low-dairy diet, i wouldn't find any tasty and healthy alternatives to the food I liked. The preconceptions were very soon eliminated after having received a list of food companies, from Nutrition Coach Kate, that specialise in providing healthy and tasty variations on the usual mass produced and over-refined foods we so love and hate. I also found that my local supermarkets stock some of the main foods I wanted to purchase: Wheat Free Bread by The Stamp Collection, Oatly Oat Milk and Rice Dream. I also found that a handy hand blender is an essential kitchen tool required for making healthy and tasty smoothies and home-made soups! In short, this experience/change in diet has only been beneficial to me. I've also found i'm a great cook!
Good NUTRITION - Benefits
Not having cravings for sweet foods is liberating. I was the kind of person who could not walk past a patisserie without feeling my mouth watering. Of course, the benefits of the change in my diet are many more, such as, more energy, weight loss, great skin and shiny, glossy hair! The results are amazing but they don't come overnight, you need to sustain the changes for at least 3 months, in my experience, before seeing the effects. However, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
Having Kate as coach, helped me because she gave me guidelines that are easy to follow and that can adapt to the way I live and the things I like. Having a nutrition coach helped me also in terms of having accountability to someone, as well as being able to ask questions and receive replies by email, so I never felt disconnected from my objectives.
The 80/20 rule is my favourite because nothing works perfectly 100 percent of the time. You are bound to lapse and forget and want that chocolate cake, which is absolutely fine as long it does not happen often. The whole nutrition thing for me is a learning process about what works and what doesn't work for me, and fine tuning it so it becomes second nature.
I.H. - London
"Growing up in a Chinese community where everyone is so tiny had always made me felt like the fat and the ugly one. My mum is a size 6 and so as my sister! Even my dad is lighter than me! Having gained a few kilos in university, I went home for my first holiday and saw the horror on their faces when I arrived at the airport - they couldn't even recognise me! This was then followed by constant laughing and joking by every family member.
Feeling very hurt, very unattractive and VERY angry with myself throughout the holiday I returned to university and determined to get some professional help. My first session with Kate was absolutely awesome, for the first time I was told that I do not need to lose any weight at all! All I needed was to eat well and be healthy! She opened up a whole new world of healthy eating to me and has also helped me to understand that there are so much more than just losing weight!
The rules Kate set up for me are all very practical and fit into my everyday lives easily. I have also learned not to beat myself up for messing up the rules and try to relax. I soon noticed a radical change of my body - my energy level has gone up, I have better skin, I sleep better, I am no longer feeling bloated and I have dropped a dress size! Most importantly I feel so much better about myself! What an incredible feeling! I was even rewarded a little book of optimum nutrition for doing so well which was really encouraging! Looking radiant as ever I couldn't wait to show everyone back home how good I looked - yes as I predicted everyone was gobsmacked and I was no longer a 'most talked-about celebrity' in the family and my mum actually stopped nagging for once! Hurray!
I have gained an incredible knowledge about optimum nutrition from Kate and now I'm very happy with my body and continue eating healthily. Thanks to Kate for being so patient and so supportive. Thank you so much Kate! Couldn't have done it without you! Thank you! "
Ms. Siew Wong from Malaysia
"For years I have caught frequent colds and flu and found them hard to shake off. After sessions with Kate, I gradually improved my diet and was recommended supplements which I took daily. I now rarely suffer from colds and, when they do occur, they are milder and more brief. Kate's advice about diet has doubtless improved my eating habits and general health - thank you! "
Anna from London
"Having tried the things you suggested, I finally feel as if I'm in control of my eating, rather than the other way around. I rarely feel hungry, and when I do it's generally a bit peckish at reasonable times rather than ravenous 30 minutes after eating. My energy levels are at a rough constant, I have no more post-lunch dips, and losing my coffee mania has been great: I sleep better, which means I need less caffeine the following day, and I don't get depression any more. Thanks for all your help in this: it's been very simple to follow, with easy, slight changes at every step and no immediate life-altering madness. So it's true: slow and steady does win the race! "
Jaime Goodbrand from London
"I visited Kate after deciding that I could no longer tolerate the abdominal bloating, pains and constipation that I had suffered for about 5 years. Kate's advice was very practical and she reassured me that I don't have to live with my symptoms. Kate suggested some supplements to boost my digestive system and to cut out wheat and dairy from my diet. Initially, I was concerned about the dietary changes because I imagined that I would end up cooking special meals and I did not like the idea about cutting out food groups completely. Kate explained that I will not need to change my diet forever and, two months on, I have been surprised at how easy it has been to adapt my "usual" diet. I haven't had to buy lots of special ingredients or change my meals significantly. The dietary changes, combined with the supplements and small changes to me lifestyle (basically, just trying to look after myself better and find time for relaxation), have really helped my symptoms. I knew that there wouldn't be a quick fix for my problems but I have been surprised at how soon I have noticed a big difference in my digestion and I also feel better in myself generally."
Sonia Gilbert, London
"I decided I needed nutritional therapy after having steadily put on weight for 2 or 3 years despite having gone on nearly every known diet and eating less and less I just seemed to be getting fatter and fatter. None of my clothes fitted any more,in fact I had gone up at least 2 dress sizes and could only buy really dreary dowdy clothes.I felt unattractive and rather uncomfortable. and couldn't understand why this was happening as I went to the gym 3 times a week, pilates once a week and walked the dogs for miles and was generally very fit.I could have put it down to middle age spread but was determined that I wasn't going to be this size for ever. Hence my going for nutritional therapy.
Nutrional therapy really has helped me enormously. Kate was great with me as I was very grumpy when we first met, unhappy with my body and rather depressed. I have found by following Kates ideas of what I should eat I am never hungry and in fact end up eating more than I was before but healthy things rather than unhealthy. I now eat masses of fruit and vegetables and know which ones to go for and find them absolutely delicious. I found that the improvement didn't happen overnight but I stuck to the programme and now having been with Kate for 1 year I feel fantastic and have lost all the weight I put on and I suspect even more.I know this is going to sound corny but I can get into all my old clothes, thank god I hadn't thrown them all away, and can go shopping again and buy fun, sexy clothes and hopefully look good again.I cannot begin to tell you what a joy it is to feel confident and attractive again. It really wasn't difficult at all it is just a question of changing ones eating and drinking habbits and sticking to it. I found it a huge help to have Kate to talk to and advise me. I never felt pressurised but gently encouraged. It is so great to go out with my lovely husband and to have compliments from people telling me I am looking good. I am afraid I am as vain as most girls!!! To whom is may concern, don't give up, stick to the advice you are given, it really works."
Rachel White, Hampshire
"Throughout my twenties I have felt continually unhappy with my weight but seemed unable to lose any lbs by dieting and believe me when I tell you that I tried them all! I stumbled upon the Nutrition Coach website when I was at my lowest and fed-up that for some reason I clearly couldn't quite manage my weight on my own - so I arranged to meet with Kate just four weeks ago.
I LOVED the rules Kate set out for me and have followed them successfully. I feel really brilliant (and am losing weight already - hurrah!) so I am incredibly positive. I think my boyfriend is relieved that I am finally able to stop obsessing about what foods I could and shouldn't eat and I can sit down and enjoy every meal (including breakfast.. !) All of my friends and family are commenting on how well I look and with Kate's support I am quite sure I can continue losing weight and feeling better FOR THE LONG RUN rather than just a few hunger-filled days. I feel like this is it... I can finally do it!"
Amanda Swanne from London
"I was three stone overweight, unhappy with a very low self image. I needed help; I needed educating on how I was abusing my body and mind. I got that help with the Nutrition Coach. Through her experience I now know what food suits me and my lifestyle and how what I digest affects my overall wellbeing. The guidance I received has changed my life and I will be forever grateful - I'm a happy person again!"
Mrs L. Riley from London
"Working with Kate I came to understand and conquer blood sugar imbalance. As a personal trainer I took a lot of exercise, which finally led me to craving sweet foods just to keep going. I began to feel very ill and went to see Kate. I learnt how to master maintaining my blood sugar levels rather than let them sink so low that the sweet cravings would start and the rollercoaster begin again. If I am naughty now it is out of choice rather than desperation! I highly recommend Kate and can only thank her for putting me back on the path to great health"
Amy Peake, Personal Trainer from London
"I first went to see Kate because I wanted to lose weight. Through her excellent coaching she helped me to understand that nutrition is about much more than just weight loss. Gradually with her help I started reclaiming my life and my health. As well as losing weight, I also found myself more able to tackle my other life challenges and I was also able to bring these to Kate for her help and advice. Over the past two years I have relied on Kate's common sense approach and her gentle but firm reminders to keep me on track, and would not have got so much accomplished were it not for her help and support. Thank you Kate!"
Eve from Hertfordshire
"After years of watching my blood pressure and cholesterol rise I decided to look for alternatives to my medication. I'd read an article in an in-flight magazine about the benefits of eating nuts and this made me think about the food I was eating. My job is demanding and includes frequent trips abroad, which sometimes means I am limited with food choices, so I thought I'd do it properly with the help of professionals. I've had five appointments with the Nutrition Coach now and am delighted to say that she didn't tell me to live on lettuce leaves and herb teas. She lets me know which foods I should and shouldn't eat and why, then I incorporate her ideas when I am travelling.
The Nutrition Coach recommended a test to monitor my stress levels which showed that my body wasn't handling it very well and this was impacting on my cholesterol.
Some of the changes haven't been easy, but I take my vitamins with me whenever I travel, I am more educated about my food choices and for the first time I am not dreading my check up with the doctor, and to top it off, I have gone down two holes on my belt. Thank you, I only wish I had done this sooner."
Mr S. Somer from Amersham
"During the last 5 years I have suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in the form of digestive problems and excess stomach acids. My condition made me lose concentration at work and feel exhausted. In short, it affected my social and work life.
After numerous visits to my GP and hospital specialist, I lost hope of feeling better one day. As a last resort I decided to try the Nutrition Coach and I believe it is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. They recommended me some tests and supplements. Now I feel much better and I have regained my confidence in my work and social life".
Alain Grand-Port from London
"I heard about the Nutrition Coach through a friend of mine who she had helped. For years my issue had been that I suffered from a total lack of energy and enthusiasm and was constantly tired. After numerous so-called specialists tried to help and failed, I was resigned to the fact that this was just the way I was.
The nutrition coach's approach was totally refreshing and we slowly chipped away at my poor eating habits. She has educated me to the extent that I am now far brighter, have more energy and am generally healthier as a result. What started out as a shock to the system, is now, I am pleased to say a way of life. I am sure the Nutrition Coach will be pleased to know that I am now, at last, walking her talk. Thanks."
Mr P. Headford from Southend
"I went to see Kate as I had been having digestion problems for a few years. The last year was particularly bad, with symptoms such as diarrhoea, constipation and bloating that were all inexplicable. It was also a period of emotional stress. During my first consultation Kate recommended a few tests and also suggested that I cut out wheat and dairy until the results came through. The tests showed that I had a parasite and this was preventing my body from properly digesting certain foods. I followed the diet and an extensive supplement programme. The nutrition part was tough in the beginning, but I kept going because I felt so much better. Now I don't even think about if I have been following Kate's advice for the last nine months. Kate has not only helped me to heal a physical condition, but she has been an exceptional life coach. She helped me bring balance in my life on many levels"
Maria
"The Nutrition Coach made me think of my diet - not as a temporary measure or a fad but as a way of life. To begin with I kept a food diary and we looked at it together and worked out ways in which I could make improvements. Instead of telling me exactly what I could and couldn't eat we discussed the sort of foods I like to eat and considered healthier options I felt I would still enjoy, so the changes would be realistic. The nutrition coach helped me with my shopping list and ways I could make changes which weren't too painful. This has now helped me to make healthier choices every day and incorporate them permanently. I have had more energy and learned that by eating regularly and healthily my cravings for the wrong food choices are less."
Mrs H Gosling from London
"I had been working in Afghanistan in May 2003 and returned to the UK a month later feeling unwell (Diarrhoea and general malaise). After numerous visits to my GP I was diagnosed as having a parasite.
After a course of anti-biotics I was given the all clear, however I was still feeling unwell; very lethargic, pains in my stomach and breastbone and this prompted me to seek the help of a nutritionist. On my first visit I was advised to avoid wheat and dairy and to take a comprehensive parasitology test. I followed the dietary recommendations, but still only about 1 out of 10 of them. My test results revealed I had another parasite, which I was relieved about as there had to be an underlying problem.
After a 3 month course of supplements to rebalance my levels of gut bacteria I was feeling up to a 4 out of 10. Further tests for my adrenal glands revealed that they were "on the floor", hence my total lack of energy. The programme to support this had an almost overnight effect and I can honestly say I nearly feel 10 out of 10. I was committed to the programme even though it was slow progress, but my knowledge of nutrition increased immensely.
I firmly believe that my patience has been rewarded with hopefully longer lasting health and I know I could not have done it without the excellent advice and support along the way."
Mike from Putney
