Metabolic Health Coach.

I have “worked out” since early childhood and competed in Martial arts internationally for many years. Although I had a long corporate career with over 30 years in Asian and International locations, I always maintained my interest in health, fitness and motivational strategies completing various diplomas along the way.

 

In 2022 I retired very early from full time corporate work to coach full time in person in Cyprus and Malaysia along with online consultations (Full bio here. https://ultimateperformancesolutions.com/colin-whitehead/ ). After someone very close to me suffered a chronic neurological condition, we went down the difficult medical rabbit hole of misdiagnosis for three years, followed by a partial diagnosis and finally after 6 years a correct diagnosis. The journey taught me to question information, avoid the white coat syndrome, and seek out medical professionals who stay current, look to treat root cause not just symptoms as opposed to teaching / prescribing what they often learned decades ago. The word Doctor originates from the Latin expression to teach. If your doctor will not answer questions, change your doctor. Doctors have a professional and ethical obligation to provide this requested information.

 

During this 6-year period I took additional / health related certifications / diplomas in corrective exercise, Senior fitness (NASM), nutrition, Metabolic Metrics Measurements, Professional Certification in Sugar and carbohydrate addiction, and a 20-month Ketogenic Therapies programme with a heavy focus on treating chronic illness with enhanced nutritional protocols (See more on the nutrition page).

 

As a qualified Metabolic Health Coach my end goal is that any client will receive individualized guidance from me to set them on a sustainable journey to optimal health for life.
