Ancestral Health Coaching is rooted in the understanding that the human body evolved to thrive under specific lifestyle conditions, movement, nutrition, recovery, and environment  that modern life often works against. My approach is strongly aligned with the Primal Health framework popularised by Mark Sisson, having completed the Primal Health Coach certification in the past. This coaching is designed for individuals who want to reconnect with these foundational principles and use them to optimise health, performance, and longevity.

​

Rather than chasing short-term fixes, ancestral health coaching focuses on restoring the inputs the body expects: nutrient-dense whole foods, appropriate movement patterns, quality sleep, stress management, and regular exposure to natural environments. Clients who choose to adopt a Primal way of life are guided through practical, sustainable changes that support fat loss, hormonal balance, energy levels, digestion, and overall resilience. This approach can also include strategically incorporating periods of ketogenic eating and intermittent fasting, which can further enhance metabolic flexibility, support fat loss, and optimize cellular and hormonal health.

​

For those who train or compete, ancestral principles provide a powerful framework for performance. A key element is building a strong aerobic base using methods such as the Maffetone approach, which prioritises low-intensity, heart-rate-guided training to improve mitochondrial efficiency, fat oxidation, and recovery capacity. This creates a robust foundation that allows higher-intensity work to be layered in more effectively, reducing injury risk while improving endurance and repeatability.

​

Another major benefit is the development of metabolic flexibility, the ability to efficiently switch between fat and carbohydrate as fuel depending on training demands and competition requirements. Through targeted nutrition strategies, smart training intensity distribution, and lifestyle optimisation, clients can achieve and maintain optimal body composition while still fuelling performance when it matters most. On competition days, this flexibility allows for better energy management, reduced reliance on constant carbohydrate intake, and more consistent output across longer events.

Ultimately, Ancestral Health Coaching is about aligning modern goals with ancient biology. Whether your aim is improved health, sustainable fat loss, enhanced endurance, or competitive performance, this approach creates a strong, adaptable system that supports long-term success, not just in training, but in everyday life.
