When this client compares working with our head coach- Alex Pearson MSc- to therapy, it's because...

Both involve:

- Meeting you where you are, without judgment
- Exploring patterns and understanding WHY they exist
- Developing tools that work for YOUR unique situation
- Building skills for long-term success

We take this approach because specialise in combining both nutrition science AND the science of human behaviour.

Because, to us, the real result isn't where you are in the next 10 weeks, it's where you are 10 YEARS (or more) from now...

And that doesn't come from simply being given a meal plan, a calorie target, or a set of rules to follow.

If that's something you're curious about, drop us a message and let's chat.

Hands up if you've ever tried to build a habit for 21 days and felt like a failure when it didn't stick 🙋‍♀️
Well, before you beat yourself up too much…

Research shows exercise habits actually take around 7 months to become automatic. Not 3 weeks.

How many beneficial habits have you abandoned because they didn't feel 'natural' after a few weeks?

Once again, there’s a time and place for serious content… but it’s not a Friday.

But you know what Friday IS good for? Fun, food and music.

So we’re back with a game I used to play during car rides with a friend. I think it combines all three 🤷🏼‍♀️

This week's pun prompt is bands and protein.

How to regain ALL the weight you lost… in just 5 easy steps!

Okay, obviously NOT a guide you want to follow.

But if this sounds painfully familiar, you’re not alone.

Here’s the reality:

❌ Dieting to fix your emotions doesn’t work.
❌ Losing weight without learning how to maintain it is a recipe for frustration.

💡 The solution? Instead of only focusing on losing weight, start focusing on:

✔️ How you want to live at that weight.
✔️ What you’ll actually DO with it.
✔️ What truly matters beyond the scale.

Here’s something for you to ponder: If your weight magically changed overnight… what would you actually do differently?

🧠 That’s the stuff worth focusing on.

Have you ever felt like you needed someone to push you to change?

Or like you needed more willpower, discipline, or tough love to finally make things stick?

You’re not alone. So many people feel this way - not because they “just don’t want it enough”- but because past attempts at change often felt overwhelming, unsustainable, or forced.

Here’s the irony:
🚫 When someone forces you to eat or exercise a certain way, it usually backfires.
🚫 You either resent them… or give up.
🚫 And worst of all… The change doesn’t last.

But this doesn’t mean change isn’t possible for you. It just means the approach has to be different.

That’s why our coaching isn’t about shouting orders, or making you follow a plan you hate.

A good coach will help you overcome what’s held you back before and find an approach that actually works for you.

💬 Have you ever had someone try to force you to change? How did that go?

Your relationship with food has nothing to do with morality.

PS: I wrote about why the "I'm just greedy" mentality keeps people stuck in a recent blog. Check that out via our bio links.
