Make life and work feel better

Rachel’s Story

Why do so many people feel in safe hands with Zest Lifestyle’s approach to living a healthier life?

Perhaps it’s because I’ve been where they are.

It was 2000. Like many of the people I work with today, my work (marketing in the telecoms sector) was making me unhealthy. In my case, I was heading for burnout and at risk of serious health issues if I didn’t stop my self-destructive lifestyle.

I decided to completely change how I lived my life. A proper sleep routine. A cleaner approach to eating. Regular exercise. Reduced stress. As they became part of my daily habits my health improved as my dress sizes dropped – I’m now 3 stone (20kg) lighter and four sizes smaller than I was then. I’m as fit as I’ve ever been. I’m infinitely happier. I doubt my former self would recognise me.

The gym-averse health expert?

Friends often asked me how I’d done it. One suggested I should help many more people by becoming a health expert. “That’s the last thing I’d ever do,” I said, “I hate fitness!”

“That’s why you’d inspire them,” she said.

That’s where Zest came from. Unlike other ‘health experts’ I did the hard yards in terms of building my knowledge as well as my fitness.

I’m trained in:

  • Cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia
  • Mental health first aid
  • Nutrition
  • Personal fitness training
  • Stress management
  • Neuro-linguistic programming
  • Hypnotherapy

Also unlike other health experts, I’m still gym averse but I’ve found so many other ways to get fit that it doesn’t matter. I think that’s why so many people feel in safe hands with my approach.

I think you will too.
