Meet Ivan Young, Your Expert Personal Trainer

From a very young age, I faced numerous dietary challenges that significantly impacted my daily life. After extensive allergy tests at Great Ormond Street Hospital, I was diagnosed with multiple food allergies and intolerances, including gluten and dairy. This led to a strictly controlled diet, including an anti-candida regimen, and a daily routine of taking 13 different supplements to ensure proper nutrition. 

Living with these restrictions wasn't just about avoiding certain foods; it came with real, often uncomfortable symptoms. I experienced frequent gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and skin problems when I inadvertently consumed trigger foods.

These challenges taught me firsthand about the profound connection between diet and overall well-being.

Growing up with these restrictions gave me a unique perspective on the importance of personalized nutrition and the impact it can have on health. This experience has been instrumental in shaping my approach to nutrition coaching, allowing me to empathize with clients facing similar challenges and develop effective, tailored dietary strategies that address not just weight, but overall health and comfort.
