​
Tom has had successful results in the past helping clients overcome the following:
​

-
Type 2 Diabetes (reducing back to "normal" levels)
-
Management of Type 1 diabetes

Tom has also successfully helped many clients who were looking to loose weight, whether it be a few kilos or those suffering with obesity.
​
No FAD diets are involved at any stage. Simply food-first, scientifically proven methods, based around a balanced diet of real foods and tailored to meet your own goals and activity levels. The aim being to utilise the foods you like to eat as much as possible, therefore increasing the likelihood of sustaining a lifestyle change - with a few healthier adjustments along the way when required.
​
The process is based on loosing fat mass, whilst maintaining muscle mass, which can help us in later life by reducing the occurrence of falls etc. Our muscles are the tissues that use energy and burn calories, so by avoiding the loss of muscle mass, we are better able to maintain weight loss. All of this is achieved via the manipulation of nutrition.

I have been an active club runner for the last 15 years, including running 5 full marathons. I appreciated the benefits of massage therapy when training and preparing for my marathons
In addition to running, I am a keen cyclist and have cycled a lot in Europe, mainly France and Italy. I am also a keen walker and have spent time in Mont. Blanc and the Italian Dolomites.
