Don't You Just Want To Look And Feel Great?!

Why is it so hard? You follow the diet protocols, you hit the gym, you drink the superfood smoothies, but you still don't feel amazing. 

And your battle against the flab is becoming a never ending war...

You are overwhelmed, confused, frustrated, angry and simply over it.

You just want to look good and feel great right?! How hard can it be?

Yet every day there is a new diet - low fat, high fat, paleo, vegan. It's confusing to keep up... What is the best diet? Is there even a perfect diet?

You're frustrated as you strictly follow these protocols but never get the results...

This, in turn, makes you angry. Angry that you have been misled, angry that you have wasted more time, more money more sweat yet for no benefit.

And know you are tempted to give up completely. Resign to the fact you will never be in amazing shape, accept that you will always have those health issues - whether its digestion, skin problems, brain fog, joint pain, low libido, cold intolerance... They're all normal symptoms of ageing, of human life. Right?

Wrong!

It doesn't have to be this way. In fact, it shouldn't be this way. Before I explain, I want to ask you something:

Would you like to jump out of bed in the morning with a spring in your step, see your body in the mirror and feel good about the image you see?

Yeah?

Would you like to have the toned body and the flat stomach without having to spend countless hours in the gym?

Would you like to sleep through the night, wake up without an alarm clock, have good energy throughout the day, eat quality food without the skin issues, the gut issues, the energy crashes...

Do you want to find YOUR perfect diet? The right diet for you? 

Do you wish it was easier, why is health and looking good so challenging?

Let me tell you know, it should be easier, and it can be easier! Let me explain...

You're Doing Everything Wrong

What if I told you it didn't have to be this way? You would be rather skeptic right - you've heard it all before... But what if I told you that you've been doing everything wrong. You have been misled, exploited, distracted. And now you are a confused skeptic in a worst position that where you started.... Sound familiar?

What if I told you that you could regain the health, body and vitality of your younger days? You definitely wouldn't believe me right?

And if I told you that to achieve these things you could eat chocolate, skip gym sessions, save $500 a week and get rid of your Personal trainer - heck even your gym membership, add butter to everything, even have a glass of wine with dinner you would think I was bat shit crazy right? Since I'm fine with the crazy label I might as well continue!

 If I told you that I could fix your cravings, balance your hormones, get you sleeping deeply, revive your libido, and sculpt your body in a way you didn't think was possible - all by simply exercising less, eating tasty real food and reading some material you would scoff. And no that wasn't a typo. You need less exercise a week to achieve this, not more!

If you're thinking I'm a complete nutcase then I'm happy, and you should be too.

Why? Because every individual that I have transformed started off as a skeptic who thought had doubts that a program like this could work. But at the same time, they were keen to try something. I actually think that this worked to their advantage. It meant there was a lot for them to learn. A lot for them to change!

 After following Alex’s Program I have dropped from an XL shirt to a medium. And a 36 to a very skinny 32 and still dropping! True it is that My wife tells me I’ve hit new levels of skinniness!!
Not only that, everyone is telling me I look 10 years younger. Alex’s program is not your normal ‘don’t eat diet’, it is unique but most importantly it has delivered some incredible results by increasing my ability to concentrate, by increasing my immunity, by detoxing over a period of time and becoming a lot calmer.

Most importantly I think Alex helps you understand the why behind issues you might have pre conceived ideas about.If you are looking for a health and body overhaul, I really recommend you speak with Alex about his programme.

Do You Want To Look AND Feel Amazing?

We should be able to look good naked, feel amazing and simply become healthy & resilient to illness.

Basic desires that should be the norm not the exception but unfortunately so many of us feel as if these things require too much hard work or are simply not unattainable. 

It's funny because as my career as a Personal Trainer grew, I found more and more clients that didn't meet any of these 'health fundamentals'. They realized that and hence why they came to a Personal Trainer.

I now realize the PT is not the answer to their problem. Like I said before, you've been doing everything wrong. Everyone has. Look around your workplace - how many are truly 'healthy'? Yet how many go to the gym, buy their groceries from the health store and read the fitness magazines? Add up the price of the gym membership, 3 PT sessions a week and all those fad supplements they take... how much would they spend a week? $500? Easily!

People with the cars, the flash apartments, and the high paying job don't need a personal trainer to look good naked and feel amazing, a PT is only one small piece in the puzzle to achieving that goal. In fact, I will straight up admit that it's not even needed. Remember, I was a Personal Trainer.

The gym isn't really required when it comes to achieving health and a body you're confident in. There I said it. There will be trainers at my door with pitch forks tomorrow!

I mean it helps, but again, it plays such a small role in changing the body (from a health & wellness point of view) and in fact can cause harm if over used. The toxin is in the dose.

I'd even wager a small sum that the below two points apply to you:

1. Even if you follow these celebrity diet and training programs you still don't get the results. No matter how strict you are counting calories or measuring steps.
2.  It doesn't matter how many sessions you do, how many pounds you lift, how many pushups you can do, how many hours you spend in the gym, how many calories you burn on the cardio machine - it doesn't seem to be correlated with your health and fitness progress.

Was I right?

Why does it not matter how many times you enter the gym? How many times you get your ticket punched so to speak?

Because it's what happens in the 23 hours OUTSIDE of the gym that matter most.

You'll never hear this in your gym magazines or from your trainer. They want you to upgrade your memberships, do extra sessions, buy more training shirts etc. etc.

PT's Are Often Not Needed For Health Changes

Yes, I was PT, and yes I made my money training clients in a gym. The more sessions I did, the more money I made. Yet here I am saying that less is more, stop worrying about getting to the gym 5x a week - instead settle with 1 session a week (I'm serious) and focus on everything else that your body goes through each and every day. I can say this with confidence because I learnt a valuable lesson.

And I learnt the hard way.

My own health/sports journey went from being a top level athlete - pushing hard, looking for an edge - to me being burnt out, sick, tired and unable to train. And don't get me started on the joint stiffness, low libido, lethargy, reliance on stimulants such as coffee, the desire to go on a 'sleeping holiday', struggling to get out of bed in the morning - longing bed all day only to feel wired and alert come night time... I was a mess, despite winning bodybuilding championships, having 6 pack abs, and being a 25-year-old guy. I was so far from being healthy it was ridiculous. I was sick. Not your typical fever, and vomiting sick, but a sickness that was with me every minute of the day. Grinding away at my body and mind.

I was confused, frustrated and angry. I had followed all the mainstream recommendations - low fat, lots of small frequent meals, plenty of exercise, avoiding the sun. Yet here I was, sick, tired, with hormonal problems, gut issues, skin problems, energy peaks and troughs and no libido... And I started gaining body fat... despite my super 'clean' diet and frequent training!

Yet I had been doing everything correctly... I was a personal trainer remember. I knew the key to health and fitness. I could drop the body fat on any client, they just needed to eat less and move more. Right? 

Yet here I was practicing what I preached, and I was getting sicker by the week. 

Something Had To Change

Eventually, I got so sick I could hardly work. I didn't get it. I was meant to be the health and fitness guy. Why was I sick? Why was I struggling with body fat issues? Why did I have digestion problems? Why was I, at 25 years old, suffering from low libido? 

Eventually I broke. I stopped training. I started questioning what I was doing, and I started a 5 year journey to learn the real secret to health, happiness, and a lean body. A secret that didn't involve magic tricks, fad diets, strange supplements, or countless hours in the gym.

This moment in life was a turning point. A turning point for my health, my career and my client's health. 

My recovery process was a wild journey throughout this process I learnt ALOT. I worked with some of the worlds top health experts, I studied course after course to the point where the tax department started questioning whether I was working or studying, I read like crazy, and spent more money on lab tests than a scientist would with rats. My competitive drive led me to want to know WHY I got sick, HOW to recover and WHAT to do to ensure it never happens again - for myself and my clients.

The key lesson I learnt is this - Seek optimal health - everything else falls in line when you're healthy. You wake without an alarm. You have a healthy sex drive, you don't desire naps let alone coffee, you don't crave sugar, your mind works without a constant fog hanging over it, you have a good level of fitness & strength (you don't get puffed walking 2 flights of stairs and you can move furniture without any back or joint pain!), you recover faster from colds & flus than your peers (if you catch bugs at all) oh and you look bloody good. Your skin glows, your hair is thick, your muscles are toned and you possess a body that can do the things we were built to do.

You look healthy & fit. And you feel amazing!

You're Sick 

Some people may disagree with what I'm about to say, some may even refer to it as 'fat shaming', but I'm a realist and sometimes the truth hurts, so here goes:

If you are fat you are sick.

Think about it for a minute. Think about what 'health' looks like to you. Find that image in your head. Heck, do a google search if you have to, pull it up on your screen.

Let me guess - you have an image of someone with good muscle tone, nice skin, not too muscular but not skin & bones either. They have some muscle definition - but not popping veins and muscles that look like they'll explode.

Sound about right?

My point is this - if you were healthy, the body wouldn't have fat accumulated over the belly, under the chin, around the chest (for men). Sure some fat is actually needed and in particular times of one's lives it can be beneficial. But that belly fat is not needed or beneficial - in fact, levels of abdominal fat are highly correlated with increased risk of disease such as heart disease and cancer...

“I engaged with Alex in early 2015. Since working with Alex, I have more energy and I have physical and mental stamina and resilience that has propelled me forward and enables me to take on more and deal with more, and be more effective. Not only do I feel great, but I look better as well! Highly recommended. ”

Craig Manson. CEO

Bringing this back to my experiences as a PT, in the past if a client came to me saying 'I want to lose this belly fat' I'd work them hard in the gym. 4 sessions a week at a minimum. Oh, and they would be INTENSE sessions! Combine that with a few herbal fat burners and some tweaks to their diet and I'd hope for the best. If someone wasn't getting the results, I'd up their workout load and tighten up their diet and hope a little harder!

Now days, if someone comes to me in this situation, I do the complete opposite. I talk them out of training. They don't need someone to motivate them to get up at 5:30am, they don't need someone to count reps for them. Instead, I put them on ‘The Program’. In fact, in the first few weeks on my The Program, there is no gym training - not one session. No intervals, no weights, no circuits, no runs, no cardio (there’s no cardio at all on ‘The Program’), no crazy fat loss met-con workouts, nothing like that.

Take the Month Off From The Gym. Coaches orders.

You're sick, so we fix the illness. You need rest. Once your health is improving, then we can look at training. And The Program only includes 2 sessions a week - 1 strength day and 1 interval day. But more on this later.

So how do I turn someone's health around so they're on the path towards optimal health? Well, that's where they do need someone to motivate, support, educate and guide. Undoing years of poor diet, poor sleep, poor lifestyle choices takes the time to correct.

And there is a lot to correct. The Program is designed to fix:

- Your sleep - by addressing circadian biology and light cycles. The body wants to sleep. We just send it so many mixed signals from light, stress, and food that it never knows when it should sleep. Realign the body with natural cycles and you'll sleep better than you have in years.

 - Your energy - by retraining the liver and body to run off clean burning fat as a fuel, and allowing the body to utilize gluconeogenesis - the ability of the body to convert protein to glucose. A metabolic process that many in the western world haven't utilized since they were a baby.

 - Your Mind - By educating you on how to achieve health and what caused you to stray from optimal health (the body seeks health - remember, it takes a lot of effort and inferior choices over many years to lose this health) while also clarifying a few misconceptions or half truths that exist in society on health, diet and fitness.

- Your Gut - Your gut is the bodies second brain. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine & serotonin are all linked to gut health.

The fuel and nutrients your body run on all rely on a healthy gut. The saying goes 'it's not what you eat, it's what you absorb'. The Program begins with an extensive gut reset protocol, healing your gut with beneficial bacteria, nourishing foods, while removing damaging foods and toxins. This change alone often brings about more improvements in one's health in 6 weeks than they have seen over years of dieting and training.

- Your cravings - Leptin - a hormone released from the fat cells - stops you from overeating. It's a satiety hormone - telling the brain "that’s enough, stop eating now". The funny thing is that the more fat you accumulate, the more leptin that is released. A perfect negative feedback loop you would think.

Unfortunately, due to the technological advancements of man over the past few thousand years, we have developed ways to short circuit this loop, those who are overweight and still crave more food have developed leptin resistance.

The 'stop eating' signals no longer work. Leptin is still widely unheard of in the mainstream media, many don't realise how it plays such a big role in fat gain or fat loss. What caused this leptin resistance? Think sugar, refined foods, fruits available all year round, central heating, drugs, artificial light - yes this may all sound crazy, but you will learn all about this on ‘The Program’ - more importantly, there are protocols in place to ensure that any resistance is reversed.

After the gut reset protocol, we work on the Leptin Reset protocol - increasing your bodies sensitivity to leptin. Fix this and you fix all sorts of things. Namely cravings, you will find you don't need to eat nearly as much as you used to, and yet you'll have more energy and feel full for far longer.

 - Your mobility & your body- The way you move is important for one’s health. Think about the body - what's the most vital part? Our brain. Without the brain, we are simply meat. Everything else in our body 'works' for our brain.

The brain, like muscles, require energy. The skeleton and all it's supporting 'systems' exist to find food for the brain. We are not plants, locked into one spot. We were designed to move to find food and reproductive partners. Today we don't have to hunt and gather for this food. We simply to stop at the shop on the way home. This atrophies the body. The body literally wastes away. Use it or lose it. Sure muscles lose size, but bones weaken, and joints stiffen.

You become tight, stiff, weak. Combine this with our modern movement patterns (or lack thereof) - constant sitting, driving, lounging around etc. and the process worsens.

On The Program sure we get you moving (I track how many steps you take each week), but we also focus on re-teaching the body to move the way it was designed to move - back pain will be eliminated, joint mobility restored.

This doesn't involve crazy gym sessions, or fancy machines. All it requires is some movement (in the form of walking) and a few specialised exercises. As well as this, we stress the muscles once a week in a 10-15 minute session to tell the body “don't go - this muscle is required”. Keep you fit, strong, toned, agile and healthy!

- Plus much, much, more

Your insulin sensitivity will improve (decreasing your risk for diabetes and Alzheimer's), your liver detoxifying pathways will improve (allowing your body to cope with the increasing load of toxins found in out modern world), your brain function will improve - memory, cognitive function, thought processes all sharpen and finally your lab markers will improve. You will become healthier.

Am I Crazy?

Crazy? Maybe. But crazy works.

My clients who have followed ‘The Program’ have all had massive benefits:

• dropping from 24% body-fat levels into the teens (revealing an ab outline that has never been seen before in his lifetime),
• losing body fat while adding lean muscle mass (the holy-grail of body change!),
• wearing a bikini with confidence for the first time in years (without having to on crash diets that do more harm than good),
• being able to walk around an 18-hole golf course without getting knee or back pain,
• sleeping 7.5 hours solid for the first time in a very, very long time,
• losing 18kgs of weight in the first 3 months of The Program,
• learning & understanding more from ‘The Program's’ education course than many health books were able to achieve,
• going 12 hours without a meal during the day without even thinking about food,
• sleeping better than ever,
• eliminated Symptoms from autoimmune issues that they thought they'd never get rid of
• improving their sex life,
• walking past sweets such as chocolate and cakes without even being tempted...

14 weeks into the Program

I could continue, these are all comments from clients on my Program. If you'd like to hear more I will happily give you the contact details of these clients and you can ring or email them to hear their feedback for themselves.

Why does my Program work? It's simple really, it makes people healthy. We reset hormonal sensitivity and address hormonal issues, and reset the bodies processes to work the way they are meant to work. Fix this and you fix everything. There’s a saying that pops up on the web from time to time, it goes like this "Calories matter but hormones matter more". This sums up the Program perfectly (I also promise you will never count calories on The Program!)

The best way to fix hormones isn't through patches, creams or injections, it's by changing the environment, diet, light cycles and movement patterns that a body is exposed to. One of America's top Neurosurgeons is a big believer in fixing these things before undergoing surgery or prescribing drugs (he is one of the health experts I have/am learning from). He talks about this process as 'Performing brain surgery without a scalpel'. We're literally rewiring the brain so it works the way it was designed to work.

What Actually Is Included In This Program?

Now if you're wondering what actually is The Program? Well, that’s a great question. It's many things:

A comprehensive ongoing education program (teaching you what went wrong and how to fix it - at the end of The Program you should be able to continue to maintain your health and body forever - never needing to pay another health coach, PT, maybe even a doctor again). This course alone is going to save you $1000's of dollars wasted on books and magazines telling you lies! 

A minimalist training program - 6 weeks no intense training. Then we do ONE strength session a week that only lasts 15minutes (I'm serious) along with ONE interval session a week - a total of 45mins of training a week for the body and health of your dreams. I'm not making this up (note, for the athletes and gym goers out there, I do offer more training options in case you want to do a few more sessions. But for those are looking for the bare essentials, one intense session a week is plenty!)

The science is solid and so are the results. Throw in some soft sessions (yoga, pilates, mobility etc) twice a week and a decent walk every day and your training is covered. Oh and I should mention that you don't even need a gym membership. ALL of this can be done from your home without any accessories. You could do it all in your hotel room if you're travelling. (Note - if you have more serious performance/aesthetic goals or enjoy training, then I will accommodate these goals - remember I have a bodybuilding and powerlifting background - if you want squats, you'll get squats! I'm just saying that to achieve the results on my program you actually don't need squats!)

A rough guide/schedule to the exercise requirement of the Program

A Comprehensive diet protocol - This is split into various components, we fix your gut, we address leptin sensitivity, we work on retraining the body to run off fat and not require carb hits all day long. We work in fasting to help cell health and improve longevity. Everything is mapped out, with detailed guides, FAQ's and sample meal plans for those who would rather follow a plan.

Extensive Testing - I recommend that those who sign up to The Program undergo various hormonal and blood testing panels. We need to find out what’s wrong so we can fine tune what to fix. There’s a saying that I really like - "You cannot manage what you do not measure". Not only do we use these results to fine tune your diet, sleep, training and supplement program, but we use them as markers to track results and your performance. (Note, the costs associated with the lab testing are not included in the Program Cost.)

Accountability - (Gold and Platinum Program only)  This is a huge component to The Gold & Platinum Program.  Either myself or one of my coaches will individually monitor your meals (you snap photos of all your meals using a neat app - I then provide feedback and a score), your sleep (using a Fitbit, I monitor your sleep trends - are you sleeping enough, what can be changed etc.), your training (the small amount of training you do is delivered straight to your phone, with videos, descriptions and past stats all present - I see your workout sessions), your health (I work with a top functional medicine doctor who works with clients located all around the world to interpret your lab results, what it means for you and what we can do to improve your health) plus a lot more. 

Not only this but I'll hold you accountable. I will send out weekly reviews, scoring you on your diet, sleep, training and lifestyle performance. You will receive a scorecard showing you want went well and what needs improvement!

Are You Ready For New Found Health and Energy?

This isn't for everyone, it does require a lot of effort, some financial outlay, and most importantly - a desire to change. If you don't possess that desire to make change then this program will not work (and no other program will) until you seek change. I believe you do possess this desire, as you have read this far!

Before I leave you to contemplate joining my program, I'd like to leave you with a closing thought:

 Albert Einstein once said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results". If doing the same training, with the same trainer, eating the same foods on the same diet and living the same lifestyle isn't producing the changes you desire - despite you thinking it's the best way to bring about said change - then maybe it's time to stop and try something else... as uncomfortable as it may be.

Nothing Too Lose - Money Back Guarantee

Worried that it might not be for you? Or maybe you believe The Program won't help you reach your goals.

Don't be worried!

If, for any reason, you’re not satisfied with The Program in the first 30 days, I’ll issue a prompt and full refund. There’s only ONE condition: Please tell me the main reason you weren’t happy with the product, so I have a chance to make it better.

And if that's not enough, if after 26 weeks on the Program you haven't seen positive change in your health and body, just show me you've been sticking to the program (by having an average score in the Green Zone after 26 weeks) and I'll issue a FULL refund (Gold and Platinum users only).

I'm that confident in The Program, I know if you do the work, and put the effort in each week (scoring in the Green Zone for in the weekly reviews) I know you will get results. And I will put my money where my mouth is! If after 26 weeks you haven't improved your body and health, despite doing all the work and following my protocols, I'll give you a full refund!

What do you have to lose?!

Are You Ready To Finally Look & Feel Amazing?

What's included in The Program:

• Ongoing educational content to teach you how to look and feel like a million bucks for the rest of your life!
• Diet plans built to fix health issues. Plans that WORK.
• Training programs that you can do from a gym, a park or a hotel room. Full videos and instructions included.
• Weekly review emails, tracking your progress, providing feedback and explaining what needs to change (Gold and Platinum)
• Diet, sleep, movement, exercise tracking by an experienced health coach (Gold and Platinum)
• Unlimited phone, email or SMS support  from your Coach (Platinum)
• A new YOU! More energy, less joint pain, lower body fat levels, increased sex drive, improved hair and skin quality... I could go on (Everyone!)

But best of all, you're signing up to create a change. A change so profound you will wish you had started this program years ago!

Common Questions:

Does it work for vegetarians?

Vegetarians yes. Vegans no. If you can eat seafood that is good. Eggs would be good as well but not necessary. 

Also note, The Program is more than a diet plan. In fact I would say the diet changes are only 25% of the program. It's really a lifestyle program - helping you fix sleep, work in stress, work on gut health, movement, sun exposure etc.

So sure your diet would be a little different, but everything else would be the same.

How disciplined / organised do you need to be with the program?

As disciplined and organised as you want. But the more you put in the more you will get out.

It's built for stay at home mums, for busy executives, and for retired people. I have clients from all walks of life.

At the beginning there is a lot to read and take on, so I do recommend having a free sunday to work through things, but once you're up and running it's really not that hard. And it's not much work.

Change does require change however. And change may require building new habits or new routines.

Regarding the diet - it starts off relatively strict, but this is also at a time when motivation is high. Then every few weeks we relax the rules. Eventually there really isn't a diet plan to follow - instead I aim to educate and empower you to make better food choices. 

Saying that, if you can't go a day without chocolate, or you know you can't have a weekend without booze, then you might not be ready for it.

But at the end of the day, its up to you. The more you put in, the better the result. But I can't force you into anything!

As I tell my clients 'I'm just a guide, I provide the map, the direction, I help you over hurdles, and I teach a long the way, but I can't take the steps for you'.

I should also point out that I have had people sign up to the Silver tier solely for the protocols and the education. They don't follow the program 100%, they just pick and chose the bits that suit them. And there is nothing wrong with that approach.

 
Also how long does the program run for?

As long as you want it to run. As long as you need it. As long as it takes to get the results you desire.

For silver and gold members, you pay in 4 week blocks. So you may decide to just stay on for a 1 month burst. However I find for most people 16 weeks is the best time to stick with the program.

Things get a lot easier after 4 or 5 weeks.

Though it can run for 52 weeks if someone wants to continue for that long. Also, you can stop at any time. You'e not committed to anything. 

Note - If registering on the platinum level, then it's a minimum of 16 weeks.

Can my partner do it with me?

Of course!

In fact, partners who sign on together get much better results. You're going through a change together, you can support each other, you can relate to what your partner is going through, you learn together.

Plus if you are on the gold or platinum tier then you get the weekly reports so there is a competitive component to the program.

Does it with Adrenal Fatigue?

Yes! I suffered from serious adrenal fatigue (I couldn't even walk in the park without needing a rest every few minutes), low thyroid function (sensitive to the cold, sluggish digestion etc), and I started putting on fat ... despite eating a good diet and doing all the right things (avoiding sun, training, taking supplements etc).

My recovery process was what lead me to create this program. It's built for people who suffer from adrenal fatigue and or thyroid issues and need a recovery strategy.

Also - it too me a long time to realise this, but even the best diet isn't going to solve your adrenal issues.

You need rest, you need proper supplements, you need support and you need to fix the gut and reset leptin signalling. You also need the right things at the right time.

All of these things are covered in the first few weeks of my program. My program is perfect for suffers of adrenal fatigue.

I promise you that in 30 days you will feel like a new person! Just stick to the program and it will work. It has helped dozens of people in a similar position to you. It's built for people like you.

Does it work with people with thyroid issues?

It sure does! In fact The Program is perfect to resolve underlying thyroid issues. See the answer on adrenal fatigue above.

How is the programme delivered? Are you given instant access to all the content? Or is it rolled out over a period of time?

It's delivered through videos, emails, and an app I have built for the program. The Program has users around the world - Hong Kong, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, USA etc - and it works really well. It is a simply system to use. As for content - You get what you need for that phase. So we start with the rest and repair gut phase, and I provide all the resources for that. Then after that phase ends, I provide all the tools for the next phase etc. This way you won't get confused!

Do you have to start straight away? Or can you start at any time?

When you sign on, you will get immediate access to the 'setup' course - this is so you can make sure you understand whats involved etc, and you can look at the diet plan etc, - you can even start it right away if you wish. Then, depending on what plan you enrol in, we will typically start on a Monday - but, you can change the start date to suit. So if you enrol now, and what to delay the start date a week or two we can do that : )

I already have a good understanding of alternative health. I read your blogs for example. But I do have some health issues I need resolving. Is The Program going to help or is it too basic for me?

Great question!

I built this program for one purpose - to help people from all walks of life improve how they look and feel. I didn't want it to be a simple 4 week follow these steps type of program, and at the same time I didn't want it to get super advanced into genetic testing and biohacking (though I should mention that is possible in the program, it's just not needed).

Maybe this will help answer your question - I have been testing and refining this program with a few clients over the past few years. These clients have ranged from stay at home mums whose health knowledge was limited to womans health magazines, up to 'advanced' biohackers spending tens of thousands of dollars a year on lab tests and supplements.

And everyone has had amazing results (as you can see from the testimonials on above) and everyone - yes everyone - has learnt something.

What do I mean by 'advanced biohackers' - I mean clients who have came to me with stacks of of lab testing reports. Clients who have subscribed to journal articles. I had one client who taught me so much about health that at one point I felt like I should pay him! I told him this, he laughed and said to me 'Alex you have no idea how much I have learnt from you and how great this program has been to give me a clear path to follow in such a noisy world'.

And it's true, I have broken everything down so it's easy to follow. Better yet, for those of us who are overwhelmed by health information, sometimes it's better to switch off and have a road map drawn out for us to follow.

I can also assure you that the content in my program is not the same as my blog. My program goes into subjects I haven't talked about on my blog. And for those who want to take a deeper dive into a particular topic, I link to so many resources - documentaries, books, podcasts, articles etc. So it almost becomes an education course for those who want to learn.

But of course the key 'value add' is having all the protocols mapped out for you in an easy to follow manner. There is a reason why top businessman and sportsmen have coaches - the individual can focus on their core priority, and they build a support team around you.

I'm pretty sure Michael Phelps wasn't designing his training plan, developing his supplement protocol and determining his race strategy all on his own.

I should also mention that I have had a few past clients on my program tell me that that I should market it as an education course - that I should remove all the protocols and just sell it as a 52 week education course for PT's or coaches who want to upskill. There really is that much content in there! 

Actually I have just signed up someone on the silver tier whose main reason for signing on was the content. He's not fat, he's not sick, he know's a bit about health, but he works with clients as a phsyio, and rather than reading all the books himself, he'd rather work through my course.

So there are numerous ways you will benefit from it:
- Education - learning more from me. As you know I put a lot of energy into the content I put out, and most of the content in the program is not on my blog.
- Having a simple roadmap to follow - no need to build your own plan etc
- Accountability - on the gold or platinum tier - if you need it

If you do sign up, and it's not what you wanted, then I'll happily five you your money back after 30 days. So there's no risk. 

I am confident when I say you will get something from it. Sure it may not be as much as a the mum reading womans health magazine, but you may find that missing piece in the puzzle that completes your health picture. 

I hope this doesn't come across as too salesy - I'm not a sales man (though I wish I was sometimes, it would make paying the bills a lot easier!) I just know that this program helps everyone that has been on it, and I know it will help you. And if you're still skeptical - remember the money back offer.

If I sign up will I have to wear a fitbit or Oura Ring?

For the gold & platinum tier I need to track and report on steps and sleep. I recommend everyone buy a fitbit for this. However you can manually enter data into the app if you don't want to wear it all the time. 
At the moment I can't access Oura ring data - but this should change very soon. Some clients are using an Oura and a fitbit, and will stop wearing the fitbit once the Oura coaching dash is live. But if you prefer fitbit I can access that data.
At the end of the day you don't have to wear these devices, it just means I can't access the data and report on it.

Would you be able to bill me as health coach mentoring so that I could try to write it off for my own health business I've been working on?

Sure. I do this with a lot of clients.

Do I really have to stop training for a few weeks? 

I answer this question in the video below:

But in short, yes I would recommend you taking the time off training.

The gut reset phase is a rest and recovery phase.

I cover the reasons behind this in the video attached.

But Remember:

At the end of the day it is up to you. AND context matters.

If you are a 50 year old burnt out CEO then yes, the rest period is recommended. If you are a 25 year old reasonably fit guy or girl whose not looking to drop a ton of weight or drastically turn around their health, then you might be ok with one training session a week...

The key is to not FORCE yourself into training. You need to ask yourself 'why am I training'. If you are simply training to lose weight, then you should probably have the rest period. If you are training because you think it's healthy, then yes you should stop. 

If you are training because you ENJOY IT or it gives you a social outing (ie. it's with your friends etc) then it's not as bad. And maybe you're ok to still do some exercise for the enjoyment reasons etc (as social interaction and happiness are important components for health). BUT - maybe reduce the intensity and or load during the reset phase. Maybe organise a recovery session with your mates instead of a hard crossfit WOD (I.e. have everyone go to the sauna session, or do a group yoga or mobility session instead). 

At the end of the day - it's your call. If you have serious health issues, then look at reducing the stress load and rest and recover for a few weeks. 

Do I have to pay extra for training plans?

No. Training is all built in to the program. No matter what package you go with you will get a training program from me that is delivered to you with all the videos, rep ranges, descriptions etc.

You access this through an app I have - so it makes it easy to train etc. Again, this is included in all packages :)

Though I should mention during the gut reset I actually recommend doing LESS training - we reduce training down to easier activity like yoga and pilates and lots of walking - this gives the body some time to reduce stress and heal. Then we add the intense training back in.

With gold and platinum - you get the same training programs sent to you as silver. But the benefit of Gold is that you get all the daily meal tracking and weekly reporting to keep you focused and on track.

I'm keen, but I have another question.

No problem, please click HERE to send your question to me.

Does this really work?

It sure does!

Here are a few client emails I've received in the last 7 days. All these emails came from silver and gold sign ons still in their first month on The Program:

And these guys and girls are still in the very early days of their health changing program! If you want to see the results from clients who have followed the program for 6 months or longer, scroll back up and read all the client testimonials littered throughout this page!
