Who are we?
GP Dr Emily Tyrrell and Tom Skew are a husband and wife team on a mission to help you become more healthy and enjoy more of what life has to offer.
We have young kids and understand how to fit in being healthy whilst being busy professionals and parents.
Our passion & joy
We're passionate about helping individuals and families to get healthy and in better shape, whilst still loving food and life.
A great day for us is when we see how much our coaching is changing the lives of others.
We're also passionate about a science backed up-to-date health picture. We want more people to realise how much the understanding of health has changed in the past 10-20 years. Our existing health system is still trying to play catch up and is stuck in treatment mode rather than prevention.
Why?
To help others
Having done the research and gradually applied this to our own lives, we now want to help other people who don't have the time but want the help and support.
"Most busy professionals and parents don't have time to read research papers and the work of leading authors.
And, they certainly don't have time to work out how to apply this to their own lives and children.
We've done that and want to help people to shortcut the effort, whilst feeling supported."
How?
Research & application
We have reviewed up to date research and the work of many leading authors.
We've used that research - and our experience of applying this to our own lives and our kids - to create relevant knowledge, know-how, and support for busy workers and parents who want to be healthier.
Whole health picture
In particular, it isn't all about nutrition. There's many aspects of our lives which contribute to health and prevention of diseases, which many people may believe are just down to the lottery of our genes. We've now uncovered this is not the case.
This is why we bring a whole lifestyle approach. From nutrition type, timing and your response, to sleep, mental wellness and the environment around us: all important.

updated science page for more info.
Practical application
Because we've lived this, and we have experience in coaching others, we can help you practically apply this to your life.
We do this by supporting you one step at a time, whether you come as a family, a couple or individually.
We tailor our approach to each individual or family because we all find different things easy or hard, and learn in different ways.
See how it works.
Avoiding purely generic advice
Yet, we didn't want to fall into the trap of just providing completely generic advice.
Why?
Studies such as DIETFITS have demonstrated that individual responses to food and lifestyle are so varied between different people. And, your response can change over time depending on your body's condition.
So, we have added some selected tests, to allow you to understand what healthy really means for you, today. You won't necessarily need or want all of these, but for those who do, we can provide them.
