“I’ve suffered a lot with digestive issues. Since working with John, my digestive issues have improved greatly over the last few months and this has made such a difference to my life”
– Adriana, 25 Digestion
“I’ve had a number of coaches over the last few years but considering my primary goal this time around was getting my period back, I felt slightly uncomfortable as I was not used to discussing anything remotely to do with my hormones with a man before! From the get-go though John was incredible. I was put at ease straight away. He has a wealth of knowledge. He guided me on my nutrition and lifestyle factors to help get me back on track. There were so many times where I doubted what I was doing but John was always there to remind me that I was heading in the right direction. I am delighted to say that after 9 years of over-exercising, under-eating and not having a cycle that I have gotten 3 periods over the course of the last 3 months. I’m in a much better place now thanks to John and it’s something that I will be forever grateful for”

“Life-changing! 15kg down, stronger, fitter, more energy, more confidence and I can finally cook some meals that don’t involve a microwave!! Thank you!”
– Aoife, 32 Weight Loss
“A very eye opening experience as to how I should fuel my body. Learned a lot and it translated into being fitter on the pitch and playing better”
– Daniel, 26 Performance Nutrition
“Prior to working with John I was having a lot of stomach discomfort during my runs. I got to the stage where I was eating very little or avoiding food altogether before my runs. This left me with less energy and my training dipped as a result. John guided me on what foods to eat, how much to eat and the timing of them also. I now know exactly what works for me and what doesn’t work for me. Since working with John my training has improved a lot and I no longer have the stomach discomfort. I also just set a new PB in the Cork city Marathon!”
– David, 36 Performance Nutrition
“Feeling empowered! Having been on the diet merry-go-round for almost 15 years, I now have the tools to gain control of my health once and for all. The biggest takeaway from working with John is that all foods can still be included in my diet whilst still progressing towards a goal. In the past, I’ve skipped birthdays and other social events due to the fear of going “off-track” on my diet. Since I started working with John, my mindset has changed completely. This past year, I’ve been to x2 weddings, multiple birthdays, had pizza with my family on a Friday night (the majority of them) whilst still dropping the weight. This is all down to John guiding me on the principles of nutrition. While I am not at my target weight yet, John has helped me lose 28kg over the last 14 months and unlike previous occasions I don’t feel like I am in danger of regaining this weight again.”
– Garrett, 44 Weight Loss
“John’s approach was exactly what I needed. He worked with me at my own pace and was very supportive all the way through. While my relationship with food and my own body may not be where I want it to be yet, I have come a very long way thanks to John’s help.”
– Jean, 33 Relationship with Food
“My best year yet! A new PB in both the Dublin and Cork Marathons. I have never felt as fit. Thank you John”
-Juliana, 31, Performance Nutrition
“A huge learning experience. I’m delighted with the results and I have developed a new mind frame and understanding regarding food,”
– Louise, 39 Weight Loss
“As a mother of three young children, finding the time and energy to focus on my own goals was a constant struggle. However, since starting nutrition coaching with John, I have been able to make significant improvements in my health and well-being. John has provided me with the tools and knowledge to make better food choices, and has been very supportive throughout the process. His guidance has not only helped me to lose weight, but also to feel more energized and motivated in my daily life, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their nutrition”
– Louise, 36 Weight Loss, Performance Nutrition
“Working with John was such a positive experience for me. He was always supportive and encouraging, and he helped me to stay accountable and motivated to make the changes I needed to succeed. I would absolutely recommend John to any athlete who wants to improve their game through nutrition coaching. He is truly an expert in his field and has a gift for helping people make positive changes that stick”
Niamh, 26, Weight Loss and Performance Nutrition
“A great service! John couldn’t have been more supportive and forthcoming with invaluable knowledge. No question was too silly or too small”
– Noreen, 29 Weight Loss
“Working with John for the last 5 months was one of the best investments in myself to date. I signed up at the beginning of the second lockdown with the goal of losing 7-8kg’s but we achieved so much more. My mindset both in terms of how I view food as well as my own body has changed dramatically – I don’t worry about food and how it might affect my weight (which is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders!!) and I feel so much more confident in myself. I also can’t get over how much more energy I have now! This is all down to John’s guidance. His level of detail in the weekly check-ins was something that I had not experienced before. I can’t praise him enough for his level of encouragement and assistance. I now feel confident enough to take on the next chapter by myself”
– Sarah, 38 Weight Loss & Relationship with Food
“John’s guidance has made a huge difference to my performance both in training and on the field. My energy levels are in a much better place which is down to changes in both my nutrition and lifestyle. What I liked most about working with John was how simple he made the process for me. Each week, we set small, manageable goals for me to achieve and it really added up after the 12 weeks.
I have had a few once-off consultations with different nutritionists in the past who were very knowledgeable and provided a good service but in hindsight having lots of dietary changes thrown at me all at once felt a bit overwhelming and it was for this reason why I usually quit after a few weeks. The weekly check-ins with John made everything much more attainable for me”.
– Sean, 23 Performance nutrition
“Working with John has given me a new lease of life. I never had issues with managing my weight until I started doing shift work 4 years ago. Since then my weight had started to creep up slowly on me. In total I had gained around 8kg during this time. From the get-go John was excellent. He is very knowledgeable, patient and a great listener. He met me where I was at and he put a plan together that was adapted to my own routine. At each check-in he gave me little tips that helped to manage my nutrition around my shift work and he also gave me lots of advice on how to improve my sleep routine – this was a god send! After finishing the 12 weeks, I’ve lost just over 7kg but the impact of working with John goes beyond my weight loss. I have so much more energy now and I’m able to enjoy my time off with my family even more. It was a well-worth investment. The tips he gave me will last me a lifetime.”
– Steven, 41 Weight Loss
“I didn’t realize how a few small changes to my diet could make such a difference. I was going into my races with a lot of anxiety as there was a constant feeling of not knowing if I was fueling myself correctly or not.
I have had a lot of bad race experiences in the past so getting over this has made such a difference to my races and not only from a performance perspective but I am also enjoying them a hell of a lot more too! John’s knowledge and coaching style is second to none”
– Tomas, 40, Performance Nutrition
“I worked with John for the last 6 months. When I started with him, I had a few niggles that kept me away from competing and training as much as I would have done previously. As a result, I had gained an extra bit of weight around my mid-section. From the beginning, we focused on maximising my nutrition for injury rehab as well as losing the additional pounds (which we did so successfully). John is very knowledgeable and a great guide. The only negative from working with John was that there were 2 occasions where his internet connection dropped during our Zoom calls which was a little frustrating. On these two occasions we had a phone call instead. Overall though, it was an excellent service and great value for money”
– Tristan, 39 Weight Loss
“John has had a very positive impact on my lifestyle. Working with him was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The time and effort that John puts into his check-in responses is incredible. The detail in them something that I have not experienced before.
John has empowered me to take control of my own life. I wasn’t sure what to expect before I started with him as I had this idea in my mind that it would be a case of John telling me what to do each week. Instead, John facilitated the coaching by guiding me towards my goal by making suggestions along with asking me questions about certain preconceived ideas I had around food and my own body. It was quite refreshing and I felt zero pressure from John which made the whole process quite enjoyable too.
His meal suggestions are not only delicious but very practical and quick to prepare which was important for me given my busy home and work life. John educated me on how food affects my energy, my mood and my weight to name a few. The latter was a game changer for me as previously I would have gotten bogged down when the scales wasn’t going the way I thought it would go. John explained to me how factors such as food, water, and my menstrual cycle can cause the scales to jump even if I’m actually eating less on a particular day. The coaching I received from John was priceless and for anyone who is looking to make a change I would look no further ”.
– Jenny, 28 Relationship with food, weight loss
Started working with John to get a better understanding of how nutrition affects both my day to day and sports life and it’s safe to say he delivered on both aspects way above my expectations. John puts the extra effort in to listen and understand your work/life commitments and offers excellent guidance to help progress to your personal goals.
I started with a simple goal of getting better day to day energy levels but now I feel I can take on some personal bests in running thanks to the foundation of knowledge provided – would highly recommend John to anyone who wants to learn more about what you are eating!
– Jonathan, 29, Performance Nutrition
I have worked with John in the past. I play intercounty hurling and nutrition was one area where I needed to really improve to reach my goals. John simplified everything whilst educating me to broaden my knowledge of nutrition and give me the tools to be able to look at a plate of food and nearly know if it was the right or wrong thing to be eating. I got into the best shape I have ever been in and this shown on the field..
I could not recommend John highly enough and if your looking to improve your nutrition or educate yourself on nutrition for any reason no matter what the goal is, John is your man.
