Founders Story

My name is Ben Coomber, and I am the founder of yourdietadvisor.co.uk. created through my journey and personal development having changed my life after leaving school as an obese teenager. At that young stage in my life I was 5 stone overweight, had chronic asthma, eczema and was far from comfortable in myself. This proved motivation enough to change my life for the better and reach my personal goal to be a fit and healthy adult. I knew this was extremely important to my career as an actor to be as fit and healthy as possible if I wanted to be successful as possible.

After countless diets and solutions, mainly focused around the common low fat diet and running 4 times a week, nothing was working very well. I had only lost 4 pounds in 3 months over the summer. After getting a lot of stick from my brother about my wasted efforts I made a bet with him that I could lose 2 stone in the lead up to christmas before he did. As a result, and of asking lots of questions in my local gym, I met a personal trainer that told me about a system of eating called Metabolic Typing^®. I had played sport all my life so I knew I was getting enough exercise and that my diet was likely to be the main problem. This then sparked the start of a new regime where I ate to my metabolic type^®. This was very important as I discovered I was intolerant to cow’s dairy and wheat, both of which I ate a lot of. After 4 months I had lost 4 stone, and was still going strong. This then gave me the self confidence to do anything.

After eventually losing 5 stone and reaching my goal weight of 11 stone I then embarked on getting really healthy and fit. This new enthusiasm for optimal health through my own journey focused me on creating a career out of working in the health industry. Soon after I started training as a nutritionist, masseuse, personal trainer, rehab coach, strength coach and later an advanced Metabolic Typing^® advisor.

I trained as an advanced level Metabolic Typing^® advisor to see that I could then share and mentor others to go through the very process that I did to reach optimal health. This inadvertently led me to setting up yourdietadvisor.co.uk to enable me to help others with reaching their health goals. This enables me to communicate and educate people via the web, telephone and email to get them where they want to be with the help of expert nutrition and lifestyle coaches.

Let us share our experiences with you and empower you to reach your goals through the art of Metabolic Typing^® and sound lifestyle practices.

In Health,

Ben and the YourDietAdvisor.co.uk Team
