FAQs

Who is right for health coaching?

Health Coaching is for you if you are serious about taking charge of your own health and wellbeing. Do you need a little inspiration and a lot of accountability for looking after your own wellbeing needs? Are willing to be coached? Are serious about investing in your own personal health and wellbeing? If so then health coaching is for you.

What does health coaching involve?

You’ll receive deep coaching sessions to work through the health, wellbeing and life issues most important to you. You’ll also receive feedback and tailored plans and training on the areas that you want to improve.

Why choose Ally as your personal health coach?

Ally has a deep scientific training, including health coach training from PreKure, one of the world’s foremost health coaching schools. Ally was ill as a child. He was plagued by autoimmune problems which required surgery twice. He had other physical and mental health issues that just wouldn’t go away. This carried on into adulthood, and came to a head when Ally was studying for a PhD in physics. His supervisor Professor Ken Strain had healed his own chronic fatigue syndrome / M.E. by changing what he ate, and was able to point Ally in the right direction. He dived into the research and decided to try a paleo low carbohydrate diet. His health problems melted away over the next few weeks and months, and kept improving. Ally at that point decided to move away from his career in physics, and instead to dedicate himself to helping people find the same health revolution he found. Ally has hosted The Canteen Podcast for over two years, and has talked for hundreds of hours with world-leading experts on what causes people to be overweight and feel unmotivated. His knowledge on using food and lifestyle to be healthier and happier is deep, and he can’t wait to help you find your own path to health and happiness.

Where and when are the coaching sessions held?

For one to one coaching, you and Ally will agree a time and day that suits you. Typically sessions are 90 minutes in length and are held weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the plan you select. Typically our coaching is delivered online via a secure video link up, however depending on your location we can offer onsite one to one sessions as well. Clients receive 24/7 text and messenger support for those moments when you need it most. Special a la carte options can be provided, such as walking round the supermarket with you, or helping to clear out your cupboards of detrimental foods.

I’m worried about the technology, like using a video link-up? I feel like I got left behind in the 80s and haven’t done much online before.

You’ll be absolutely fine! We’ve had so many before you worried about this too! The platform we use to deliver our courses is really easy to use and we will help you every step of the way. You do need internet access. Remember we have a no questions money back policy. Try it for the first session risk-free (applies only to the Advanced and Ultimate packages – one off sessions and bespoke services are non-refundable). If you find it’s not for you, you can cancel any time within the first fortnight and we’ll refund you, minus the cost of the cookbooks and meal plan. No questions asked.

Will I see a return on my investment?

Yes. Being the best you can be is dependent on your health and happiness. Having clarity of where you are going and what you need to achieve to get there will save you sleepless nights, kilos of extra weight, undue stress and months of wasted effort and cost. We estimate a return on investment of between 7X and 50X.

I already have a personal trainer and/or gym membership, why do I need a health coach?

Working with a personal health coach allows you to fully explore your health and wellbeing in all its facets, not just fitness. You can share your doubts and goals openly in ways that are sometimes hard to achieve with your friends and/or spouse.

Are coaching sessions confidential?

Of course. What you discuss in a session is just between you and your coach.

But does it work?

Don’t just take our previous clients’ word for it. HERE’S AN ARTICLE showing that health coaching has amazing outcomes for client health that really stick for the long term.

When can I start?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH DIETING PROGRAMS?

A SELECTION OF FULL LENGTH CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

From Chloé

I first approached Ally when I realised I could no longer fit into my favourite dress. I’ve seen first-hand how he has made considered changes to his lifestyle and habits and I wanted that glow!

Initially I thought it would just be about food and advice to tailor my eating habits, checking the scales and taking waist measurements. It is no exaggeration to say that the time I have spent with Ally has been nothing short of all round transformative. Through gentle probing questions his deft response to a myriad of emotions that suddenly surfaced and poured out, Ally helped me to set realistic goals and make concrete plans to work towards them. Some big, some small, all of which he treated with genuine curiosity and respect.

Fitting in the dress was one of them, but so too were getting to the root of the reasons why I wasn’t able to swish about in it. He coached me in unpacking some deep-rooted reasons to unhappiness, prompting me to recognise that not only was I putting food on top of my feelings in a vain attempt to push them down, but the type of foods I was choosing would also be contributing to overall malaise.

In gentle conversation, with recognition and celebration of achievement along the way, Ally steered me towards setting goals to tackle barriers and obstacles in my personal and professional life. By working through some hypothetical scenarios, he prompted me to show more initiative and helped me build more robust self-confidence. I have seen some major shifts at work, I feel more empowered to trust my instinct and capability. Colleagues have commented on my new-found resilience and return to cheerful demeanour.

His non-judgemental patience in listening and his ability to prompt self-reflection has helped me to unravel some very knotted threads of thinking, realising it was never just about my eating habits. Some visualisation work blew my mind in how to understand the impact certain barriers (perceived or otherwise) had in coating my everyday thinking and actions. Taking these into account he coached me in coping techniques and methods to be able to handle situations way outside my comfort zones.

Ally’s affability and calm manner created a very safe space to be able to share, discuss, reflect and figure out next steps. It has been wild to encounter his in-depth knowledge and understanding of food, cravings and the way the choices you make affect your mind and body. Even more so his capability in bearing with you to find the causes behind your reasoning and to help shape and form the motivations for change in such a way that all of a sudden, you realise you’re doing it.

Yes, I now fit and swish about in the dress. I do so with self-assured peace, a solid foundation of self-confidence and newfound resolute strength. Thank you, Ally.

BEFORE

AFTER

I came to Ally because I had skin issues with eczema, very flared and covering much of my body. Working with Ally gave me 80% reduction in symptoms, less need for use of steroid creams, and a confidence rebound due to much clearer skin. I also have much improved sleep as I’m not being woken by itchy skin.

I would have started health coaching sooner, but for the fear of “not being allowed” certain foods and drinks, and feeling that I would have to live by a very strict set of nutritional rules. Ally gave me an increased understanding of what foods can flare my skin and what great alternatives I can have instead. I was at a low point where I accepted I needed outside help. I knew Ally’s expertise would be helpful for me.

Ally provides a much clearer understanding of food choices and what can be inflammatory for different individuals. Ally will help you to reframe the internal conversation around food which will empower you to enjoy making better choices whilst also understanding that you can have some flexibility with your nutrition.

Coaching with Ally adds to your toolbox and helps you to understand at a much deeper level where inflammation could be affecting all kinds of processes in the body.

Knowing Ally’s story and reputation made me choose health coaching over anything else I could have done. Now I have gone from being very itchy, exhausted, and quite miserable at times to having better skin, improved confidence, and better sleep.

When I experience a flare up of my skin I know what I can remove from my diet to control that. Not needing to rely on creams from a doctor is very reassuring. I was surprised how quickly several small changes can garner great results. Lots of small efforts can lead to big changes.

From Chris

Working with Ally has changed me in a number of ways.

I started in February slightly nervous having never done anything like this before, but I very quickly felt safe and confident I was in good hands.

Before I started with him I struggled with moderation and occasional binges. I felt I needed someone to keep me accountable. I was also attracted to Ally’s approach to nutrition and his how his science background backed it up.

I had concerns that I wouldn’t last. However having read some other people testimonies I dived in. Ally really got to the bottom of what was holding me back with my diet and lifestyle choices. This helped massively in finding exactly what my motivation was above the normal health and aesthetic goals.

I could notice the difference on my energy levels throughout my days increase straight away on my new plan. Within 2 weeks my skin became clearer, I really began to feel I was on the right path.

My training in the gym which is regular anyway, was my another concern but any changes were all positive. Within a couple months I was leaner than I’d been in years, and performed just as well with strength, and conditioning training as I had on a high carb diet.

If you are struggling in anyway way with your diet or lifestyle, or just think you need a helping hand I couldn’t recommend Ally enough. His coaching has really elevated my physical and mental well being in ways I could never imagine.

From Orla

Before I began coaching with Ally I had a poor relationship with food. I felt like life was on hold.

I’d never heard of health coaching before, and I was concerned that the experience might not be very good, even when there’s an expert involved.

It wasn’t what I expected at all. I found Ally to be completely non-judgemental, and could empathise with various issues. Importantly Ally really really listened and helped me to devise strategies for moving forward. Ally has an in depth knowledge of food sensitivities and allergies and experience of dealing with these. I was so happy that I wasn’t told what to do, or made to report, it’s all about you.

If you’re on the fence and have tried everything else, why wouldn’t you give this a go? What’s not to like about someone listening to you and talking about your personal issues, with a solution focus?

I now have a better understanding of how I have developed an unhealthy food relationship. I understand my internal triggers. I also have a wider vocabulary of food recipes that suit me. I really feel like I’ve made important steps forward and am definitely happier.
