Mark S, Manchester
I'm pretty keen on staying fit and healthy and nutrition in general (avid Zoe Nutrition podcast listener/user) but thought it would be interesting to see if Dave could add anything.
Firstly I'd say it's a real pleasure to go through the thorough process with a real person after stumbling around the Zoe app and not getting around to doing things! It's also great to have pinpointed actions and a curated shopping list of supplements- a great time saver and boost to confidence about what to take, when and why (and the discount is nice to have too).
I think the service is very good value. I figure I'm going to spend thousands of pounds on food over my lifetime and probably hundreds of pounds on vitamins etc. It makes sense that I spend less than the cost of servicing my car on making sure what I'm fuelling myself with is worth it.
Overall I enjoyed the process and love having a bit more confidence in what I'm doing due to an expert opinion. Dave seems extremely knowledgable and caring about the subject and is a great guy to talk to.
Bottom line, a month after using the service I'm feeling top notch and that's what it's all about. Highly recommended!

David helped me get a fresh perspective on how my food choices were impacting me and equipped me with a great plan to make positive changes. I felt a huge difference, felt much better in myself, and learned so much about nutrition and what's going on in my body. I am really grateful for his expertise.

Well as you start to see improvements in your health, I will support you in your communication with your GP, who may then conclude that an amendment to your medication dose is appropriate. I may request that certain blood tests be carried out to clarify your health improvements, and if required, I will formalise this request in a letter addressed directly to your GP.
(Please note that management of your medication is outside of my scope as a nutritional practitioner and is the sole responsibility of your GP.)

Here is a list of tests that I may request from your GP as a result of what I have discovered during the consultation:
HbA1c is the most important marker to test for insulin resistance. If you’re curious as to whether you do have insulin issues, I advise you to book an appointment with your GP and request this test. This result will indicate how often your blood sugar levels are elevated by testing how glycated (full of glucose) the haemoglobin of your red blood cells are.
A full blood count will assess immune function.
Vitamins B9 and B12 are involved in energy metabolism and red blood cell production, so may be low if you are experiencing fatigue-like (or other) symptoms.
Vitamin D is involved in immune modulation so may be low if you are experiencing excessive infections or allergy type symptoms.
A Thyroid panel will assess thyroid function, which is responsible for metabolic rate regulation.
Iron/Ferritin is important to prevent anaemia and may be low if you are experiencing fatigue-like symptoms.

Insulin resistance is a condition where your body's cells become less responsive to the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced by your pancreas and plays a crucial role in regulating your blood sugar levels. When you eat carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into glucose, which then enters your bloodstream. Insulin helps transport this glucose from your bloodstream into your cells, where it can be used for energy.
In insulin resistance, your cells don't respond to insulin as effectively as they should. This means that even though your pancreas is producing insulin, your cells aren't taking up glucose from your bloodstream efficiently. This results in elevated insulin levels in the bloodstream for prolonged periods of time. Insulin signals the body to store fat, conserve energy and increase hunger, so high insulin results in more weight gain, less energy to do exercise and a higher compulsion to eat.
