Right Now, you might be wondering who I am...
…and why the fuck you should pay attention to anything I’ve got to say?
Which would be completely fair enough.
Â
Let me start by saying this.
I never expected to be a Health Strategist (whatever the fuck that is 😬)
Â
You see, I spent years working in corporate offices as a project manager – 🥱 I was good at it, but fuck me was it ever boring?
Â
The boredom, the rules and restrictions, and ultimately the stress had me using some pretty unhealthy coping mechanisms to get myself through the day.
Â
Until I got sick of my own shit & decided I couldn’t carry on like that.
Â
So I started doing CrossFit in an effort to sort myself out. And it turned out I was pretty good at lifting stuff, which was handy.
Â
I became addicted (surprise surprise) to feeling good & also helping other people feel good too.
Â
Being a bit (ok a lot) of a geek, I got right into health and fitness and did all sorts of qualifications to develop my skills further.
Â
I realised that if I combined my project management skills with my new qualifications, I was able to effectively help other people.
Â
But there was a problem.
Â
A big problem. You see working as a project manager for massive corporate companies allows you to earn pretty good money.
Â
And starting your own business in the fitness industry?
Â
Less so.
Â
A lot less so.
Â
But then I got the break I needed. Literally.Â
Â
Â
I Broke My Back!!!
Which meant I had no choice but to give up the office life and look for other ways to earn a living.
Obviously, CrossFit was off the table as well for quite a long time, but I found I was able to help people with their nutrition from my sickbed, while off my face on morphine.
Â
And so the Food Ninja was born!Â
Â
Over time I realised that health was a whole lot more than what goes in your gob.
Â
It’s also about other factors such as sleep, stress, behaviours and environment, to name but a few.
Â
And so I threw myself into learning all about those to equip myself with a full arsenal of evidence-based Ninja weaponry that is now at your disposal (as well as over 8 years experience of helping people just like you be successful with their health).
I’m not your typical ‘nutritionist’.
Â
I’m not a clean eating wanker, but neither am I an ‘If It Fits Your Macros, you can eat doughnuts all day and still lose weight’ type of wanker.
Â
I don’t judge you from my ivory tower filled with macro-perfect Tupperware while posting pics of my abs to the ‘gram.
Â
I’ve been through the mill with my health and I’m here to meet you wherever you are with yours.
Â
Let’s get started.Â
