Welcome, my name is Adam Phillips and I’m guy you see behind Life Grip.
Here’s how Life Grip came about and if you can relate, I would love to have you as part of the community. Our customers are our everyday hero’s, whom like me have similar stories of growth and transition.
When Adam Phillips, the Founder of Life Grip felt his health slipping away while living a hectic FIFO & Party hard lifestyle which involved dismal nutrition, he knew something had to change. He gave up his hard-partying ways and explored many areas of health and wellbeing and ultimately, turned his life – and his health – around. Adam learned that by putting healthy foods into his body, he was able to have a different outlook on the world, create a new vision for his future and that vision includes the products, courses and services he offers today.
“I realised there is one thing I can never do and that’s bypass clean whole food nutrition,” he says. “I researched and spent thousands of dollars on education and consults. I found that this type of adaptive nutrition seemed to only be available to athletes, CEOs and the wealthy. I decided to bring this to the everyday person so that they can experience a better quality of life.” Adam Phillips, Life Grip
Where it all began; Coming from a life that was in a rapid downward spiral, partying with alcohol and eventually adding drugs into the mix and then grinding through my own mental battles which that lifestyle put me in.
I managed to come out the other side and made a commitment to share this to all that can relate to my story.
I grew up with a work hard, party hard attitude and that was the lifestyle I lived for many years.
I worked away in the mines in Indonesia for many years, 5 - 8 weeks on and 2 weeks off, 12-13 hrs a day, no days off. I’d then come home and destress the only way I knew how, hit the Gym and Party hard. This was my lifestyle, that would soon catch up with me.
For a period of about 9 months, each time I went back to work, I would get really sick at least once. Little did I know this was a sign of things starting to give. Then it did for the last time...
The turning point for me was the last time I was sick, I was in such a bad way that I lost 12kg’s in 48hrs, my fingernails went black and I then knew I never want to go back there again. I was sick from a mix of a work hard, party hard lifestyle and poor nutrition up to that point in my life.
From this point, I knew the life I was living wasn’t sustainable and I needed to change. At that point, I knew nothing about nutrition but knew I couldn’t live that lifestyle anymore.
I was forced into a position to bring 5 weeks of food from Australia and smuggle it into Indonesia every trip. My luggage would be all food, nothing else. At times my luggage had to get approved by the airline manager as it was 55kg. All food.
I never had a kitchen onsite, all I had was a small rice cooker and used this to cook everything. If you need to make something work, you do whatever it takes. I was forced into this position and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
The first thing I noticed was the energy and mental clarity that came from eating a clean whole food diet. By default, this experience made me look at other areas of my life and how I could enhance them.
From that day something clicked, it's that it all starts with Nutrition. You can have goals, targets, and dreams, but if you’re body and mind isn’t being nourished correctly and your being fed with stimulates like I was and with a poor lifestyle, then any attempt at any dream or target would be futile. Plus that dream more than likely isn’t the real you anyways, because your dream came from a stimulated state of being, not the real you.
You can’t have a positive mindset, without being fed the right foods. You can’t create a dream true to yourself, nor live a life true to yourself, without consuming a clean whole food diet and living a clean lifestyle.
I think, react and make different decisions when I’m stimulated compared to when I’m feeling clean and healthy. I have a completely different perception of the world when I’m feeling this way.
I now see the world through different eyes, and my perception of everything is different than my lifestyle I was living before.
“I realised there is one thing I can never do and that’s bypass clean whole food Nutrition”
I began to become very aware of how I was feeling after my meals from one meal to the next and noticed something profound that would change my life forever. If you take control of your nutrition and treat it like a prescription of medicine, you can reproduce the results you need every day.
It was now that I researched hundreds of articles, books and spent thousands of dollars on education and consults in order to find out how to fine tune my Food Types, Food Amounts and Meal Timing. This sort of adaptive nutrition was before only applied to high class athletes, CEO’s and the wealthy..
This should be available to everyone, as it was clear to me the impact that it has on the quality of your life, performance, mental health and perception of the world.
So I decided to bring what high class athletes, CEO’s and the wealthy receive, to the everyday person willing to increase their quality of life.
"The biggest positive impact clean nutrition has is on your mental health, focus and the quality of your emotions you experience on a daily basis. Balance your blood sugar levels and make the most of every experience.”
"Improve Mental Health and Prevent Disease, through Nutrition, Meditation & Active Lifestyles"
I wish you the best in your lifestyle journey and look forward to being a part of it. Treat yourself like you’re worth it, because you are. We’ll show you.
Kind Regards
