Insulin resistance can quietly build for years before it shows up as type 2 diabetes or heart disease. The food we eat and a lack of movement can cause blood sugar levels to rise. The hormone insulin is able to manage this until one day the signal struggles to get through. That is the beginning of insulin resistance, a contributing factor to many chronic diseases that impair our quality of life such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and some cancers. If we can spot the early signs and change the way we eat, move and sleep then blood sugar (and our insulin response) can be brought back into a healthy range and protect our long-term health and way of life.

I am Ingrid, a professional Metabolic Health and Nutrition coach with a degree in Psychology. Through personal experiences, including the loss of my father to complications from metabolic syndrome and my mother's struggle with Alzheimer’s, I have witnessed the profound impact of chronic disease on life quantity and quality. These experiences led me into health coaching; where I have an opportunity to help empower people address the root cause of most disease; poor metabolic health.
My parents' journeys helped me understand how exhausting and confusing conflicting health advice is. I've discovered that the best way forward is getting help to understand your body, your familial health risks and then target the parts of your diet and lifestyle that are moving you away from the future health you deserve. Lifestyle change doesn't have to be complicated, restrictive or a case of guesswork. Working with me gives you the insight and support to achieve steady energy, a weight you can maintain, feel confidence with your doctor and stay active for decades.
One-on-one coaching means a personalised plan built around your biology, lifestyle, and goals - with metabolic health at the core.
This isn't about following instructions. It's about understanding why they work, so you can make informed decisions and take control of your own health. You'll get ongoing support, accountability, and the tools to make lasting change that's genuinely yours.
You'll learn how to make smarter, more enjoyable food choices that support energy, weight loss, and long-term metabolic health, without feeling deprived, because that's what makes change sustainable.
We look at when you eat, not just what, including how insulin and other hormones such as ghrelin, leptin, GLP-1 and GIP respond to carbohydrates, fats, protein, and alcohol to regulate your blood sugar and energy.
Exercise needs change as we move through our 40s and beyond. It's still one of the most effective tools for managing metabolic health - but it doesn't need to all be high-intensity or time-consuming.
I'll guide you through a framework tailored to your age and goals: what to do, how often, and how to progress safely, so you're never guessing or risking burnout or injury.
Restorative sleep lets your body and brain repair and reset - but as life gets busier and biology shifts with age, quality sleep gets harder to come by.
I'll translate the science into practical steps: habits and routines that support deep, consistent sleep, which is essential for weight loss, energy, and long-term health.
Circadian rhythms significantly influence metabolic health, recovery, and hormone balance. When these rhythms are synchronized through the careful timing of light exposure, meals, and physical activity, your body functions more efficiently. This synchronization not only facilitates fat loss and promotes deeper sleep but also supports sustainable lifestyle changes, making it easier to maintain high energy levels.
Stress can undermine your health and stall weight loss. But small, controlled doses of physiological stress - like heat and cold therapy - can build your resilience to it.
I'll help you develop stress management strategies that support metabolic health and build lasting resilience, so stress works for you instead of against you.
